Cultures of Mycobacterium sp. strain PYR-1 were dosed with anthracene or phenanthrene and after 14 days of incubation had degraded 92 and 90% of the added anthracene and phenanthrene, respectively. The metabolites were extracted and identified by UV-visible light absorption, high-pressure liquid chromatography retention times, mass spectrometry, (1)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, and comparison to authentic compounds and literature data. Neutral-pH ethyl acetate extracts from anthracene-incubated cells showed four metabolites, identified as cis-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydroanthracene, 6,7-benzocoumarin, 1-methoxy-2-hydroxyanthracene, and 9,10-anthraquinone. A novel anthracene ring fission product was isolated from acidified culture media and was identified as 3-(2-carboxyvinyl)naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid. 6,7-Benzocoumarin was also found in that extract. When Mycobacterium sp. strain PYR-1 was grown in the presence of phenanthrene, three neutral metabolites were identified as cis- and trans-9,10-dihydroxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene and cis-3,4-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydrophenanthrene. Phenanthrene ring fission products, isolated from acid extracts, were identified as 2,2'-diphenic acid, 1-hydroxynaphthoic acid, and phthalic acid. The data point to the existence, next to already known routes for both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, of alternative pathways that might be due to the presence of different dioxygenases or to a relaxed specificity of the same dioxygenase for initial attack on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 相似文献

We evaluated the influence of near-ultraviolet light (UVA) on the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of 7 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in larvae of the amphibian Pleurodeles waltl. Benz[a]anthracene (BA), 7,12-benz[a]anthraquinone (BAQ) and anthracene (Ac) proved to be lethal at low doses (some ppb), and the following order of genotoxicity was observed: BA approximately BAQ > DMBA > DMA (9,10-dimethylanthracene). Ac, AQ (9,10-anthraquinone) and DBA (dibenz[a,h]anthracene) were not found to be clastogenic. In the larvae reared in normal conditions (subdued natural daylight/darkness alternation) or in continuous darkness, the BA derivatives were shown to be more genotoxic than BA itself: DMBA > BAQ > BA; BA (> or = 187.5 ppb) slightly increased the level of micronuclei in circulating erythrocytes, while DMBA was strongly clastogenic, in line with their reported carcinogenicity. In other experiments, rearing media alone (i.e., water containing BA, BAQ or DMBA) were UVA-irradiated for 24 h, and then tested on larvae in the dark ('IR-UV/dark' conditions). Photodegradation of BA (50 and 100 ppb) gave rise to clastogenic products. By contrast, DMBA (12.5, 25 or 50 ppb) was destroyed by UVA, and we suggested that any potentially mutagenic photoproducts formed were not in sufficient amounts to yield a positive response in the newt micronucleus test. 相似文献

The metabolism of 9-methylanthracene (9-MA), 9-hydroxymethylanthracene (9-OHMA), and 9,10-dimethylanthracene (9,10-DMA) by the fungus Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 36112 is described. The metabolites were isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography and characterized by UV-visible, mass, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectral techniques. The compounds 9-MA and 9,10-DMA were metabolized by two pathways, one involving initial hydroxylation of the methyl group(s) and the other involving epoxidation of the 1,2- and 3,4- aromatic double bond positions, followed by enzymatic hydration to form hydroxymethyl trans-dihydrodiols. For 9-MA metabolism, the major metabolites identified were trans-1,2-dihydro-1,2-dihydroxy and trans-3,4-dihydro-3,4-dihydroxy derivatives of 9-MA and 9-OHMA. 9-OHMA was also metabolized to trans-1,2- and 3,4-dihydrodiol derivatives. The absolute configuration and optical purity were determined for each of the trans-dihydrodiols formed by fungal metabolism and compared with previously published circular dichroism spectral data obtained from rat liver microsomal metabolism of 9-MA, 9-OHMA, and 9,10-DMA. Circular dichroism spectral analysis revealed that the major enantiomer for each dihydrodiol was predominantly in the S,S configuration, in contrast to the predominantly R,R configuration of the trans-dihydrodiol formed by mammalian enzyme systems. These results indicate that C. elegans metabolizes methylated anthracenes in a highly stereoselective manner that is different from that reported for rat liver microsomes. 相似文献

When incubated with a 9,000 x g rat-liver supernatant, benzo(a)pyrene 7,8-diol and benz(a)anthracene 8,9-diol were more active than the parent hydrocarbons in inducing his+ revertant colonies of S. typhimurium TA 100. Benzo(a) pyrene 9,10-diol was less active than benzo(a)pyrene; the K-region diols, benz(a)anthracene 5,6-diol and benzo(a)pyrene 4,5-diol, were inactive. None of the diols was active when the cofactors for the microsomal mono-oxygenase were omitted. The diol-epoxides benzo(a)pyrene 7,8-diol 9,10-oxide, benz(a)anthracene 8,9-diol 10,11-oxide and 7-methylbenz(a)anthracene 8,9-diol 10,11-oxide and the K-region epoxides, benzo(a)pyrene 4,5-oxide and benz(a)anthracene 5,6-oxide, were mutagenic without further metabolism. 相似文献

Chloroperoxidase from Caldariomyces fumago was able to chlorinate 17 of 20 aromatic hydrocarbons assayed in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and chloride ions. Reaction rates varied from 0.6 min(-1) for naphthalene to 758 min(-1) for 9-methylanthracene. Mono-, di- and tri-chlorinated compounds were obtained from the chloroperoxidase-mediated reaction on aromatic compounds. Dichloroacenaphthene, trichloroacenaphthene, 9,10-dichloroanthracene, chloropyrene, dichloropyrene, dichlorobiphenylene and trichlorobiphenylene were identified by mass spectral analyses as products from acenaphthene, anthracene, pyrene and biophenylene respectively. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with 5 and 6 aromatic rings were also substrates for the chloroperoxidase reaction. The importance of the microbial chlorination of aromatic pollutants and its potential environmental impact are discussed. 相似文献

Biodegradation of selected UV-irradiated and non-irradiated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Biodegradation of UV-irradiated anthracene, pyrene,benz[a]anthracene,and dibenz[a,h]anthracene was comparedto that of the non-irradiated samples, individuallyand in synthetic mixtures with enrichment cultures.Combined treatment was repeated for individual anthraceneand for the PAH mixture with Sphingomonas sp.strain EPA 505 and Sphingomonas yanoikuyae.Enrichment culture studies were performed on the PAHmixtures in the presence of the main photoproduct ofanthracene, pure 9,10-anthracenedione. Photochemicallypretreated creosote solutions were also subjected tobiodegradation and the results were compared tothose of the non-irradiated solutions. The primaryinterest was on 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) listed as priority pollutants by European Union(EU) and the United States Environmental ProtectionAgency (USEPA). Irradiation accelerated thebiodegradation onset for anthracene, pyrene, andbenz[a]anthracene when they were treatedindividually. The biodegradation of irradiatedpyrene started with no lag phase andwas complete by 122 h whereas biodegradation of thenon-irradiated sample had a lag of 280 h andresulted in complete degradation by 720 h. Biodegradation ofPAHs was accelerated in synthetic mixtures, especiallyin the presence of pure 9,10-anthracenedione.In general, irradiation had no effect on the biodegradation of PAHsincubated in synthetic mixtures or with pure cultures. Undercurrent experimental conditions, the UV-irradiation invariablyreduced the biodegradation of PAHs in creosote. Based onthe results of the present and previous photochemical-biologicalstudies of PAHs, the influence of the photochemical pretreatmenton the biodegradation is highly dependent on the compoundsbeing treated and other process parameters. 相似文献

Nineteen coded chemicals were tested in an international collaborative study for their mutagenic activity. The assay system employed was the Ames II Mutagenicity Assay, using the tester strains TA98 and TAMix (TA7001-7006). The test compounds were selected from a published study with a large data set from the standard Ames plate-incorporation test. The following test compounds including matched pairs were investigated: cyclophoshamide, 2-naphthylamine, benzo(a)pyrene, pyrene, 2-acetylaminofluorene, 4,4'-methylene-bis(2-chloroaniline), 9,10-dimethylanthracene, anthracene, 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide, diphenylnitrosamine, urethane, isopropyl-N(3-chlorophenyl)carbamate, benzidine, 3,3'-5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, azoxybenzene, 3-aminotriazole, diethylstilbestrol, sucrose and methionine. The results of both assay systems were compared, and the inter-laboratory consistency of the Ames II test was assessed. Of the eight mutagens selected, six were correctly identified with the Ames II assay by all laboratories, one compound was judged positive by five of six investigators and one by four of six laboratories. All seven non-mutagenic samples were consistently negative in the Ames II assay. Of the four chemicals that gave inconsistent results in the traditional Ames test, three were uniformly classified as either positive or negative in the present study, whereas one compound gave equivocal results. A comparison of the test outcome of the different investigators resulted in an inter-laboratory consistency of 89.5%. Owing to the high concordance between the two test systems, and the low inter-laboratory variability in the Ames II assay results, the Ames II is an effective screening alternative to the standard Ames test, requiring less test material and labor. 相似文献

The initial metabolites in the degradation of pyrene, anthracene, fluorene, and dibenzothiophene by Pleurotus ostreatus were isolated by high-pressure liquid chromatography and characterized by UV-visible, gas-chromatographic, mass-spectrometric, and (sup1)H nuclear magnetic resonance spectral techniques. The metabolites from pyrene, dibenzothiophene, anthracene, and fluorene amounted to 45, 84, 64, and 96% of the total organic-solvent-extractable metabolites, respectively. Pyrene was metabolized predominantly to pyrene trans-4,5-dihydrodiol. Anthracene was metabolized predominantly to anthracene trans-1,2-dihydrodiol and 9,10-anthraquinone. In contrast, fluorene and dibenzothiophene were oxidized at the aliphatic bridges instead of the aromatic rings. Fluorene was oxidized to 9-fluorenol and 9-fluorenone; dibenzothiophene was oxidized to the sulfoxide and sulfone. Circular dichroism spectroscopy revealed that the major enantiomer of anthracene trans-1,2-dihydrodiol was predominantly in the S,S configuration and the major enantiomer of the pyrene trans-4,5-dihydrodiol was predominantly R,R. These results indicate that the white rot fungus P. ostreatus initially metabolizes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by reactions similar to those previously reported for nonligninolytic fungi. However, P. ostreatus, in contrast to nonligninolytic fungi, can mineralize these polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The identity of the dihydrodiol metabolites implicates a cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase mechanism. 相似文献

The transformation of phenanthrene and anthracene by Rhodococcus rhodnii 135, Pseudomonas fluorescens 26K, and Arthrobacter sp. K3 is studied. Twenty-one intermediates of phenanthrene and anthracene transformation are identified by HPLC, mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy. P. fluorescens 26K and Arthrobacter sp. K3 are found to produce a wide range of intermediates, whereas R. rhodnii 135 oxidizes phenanthrene, resulting in the formation of a sole product, 3-hydroxyphenanthrene. Putative transformation pathways of phenanthrene and anthracene are proposed for the three bacterial strains studied. These strains can be used to obtain valuable compounds (such as hydroxylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) that are difficult to produce by chemical synthesis. 相似文献

Several recent reports have indicated that some bacteria may have adapted to the low bioavailability of hydrophobic environmental chemicals and that generalizations about the bioavailability of compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may be inappropriate. Experimental evidence and theoretical considerations show that the utilization of PAHs requires bioavailability-enhancing mechanisms of the bacteria such as: (1) high-affinity uptake systems, (2) adhesion to the solid substrate, and (3) biosurfactant excretion. We examined possible specific physiological responses of anthracene-degrading Mycobacterium sp. LB501T to poorly water-soluble anthracene in batch cultures, using solid anthracene as a sole carbon source. Mycobacterium sp. LB501T exhibited a high specific affinity for anthracene (a(o)A=32,500 l g(-1) protein h(-1)) and grew as a confluent biofilm on solid anthracene present as sole carbon source. No biofilm formation on anthracene was observed when excess glucose was provided as an additional substrate. This difference could be attributed to a modification of the cell surface of the bacterium. Anthracene-grown cells were significantly more hydrophobic and more negatively charged than glucose-grown cells. In adhesion experiments, anthracene-grown cells adhered 1.5- to 8.0-fold better to hydrophobic Teflon and up to 70-fold better to anthracene surfaces than glucose-grown cells. However, no production of biosurfactants was observed. Our results thus indicate that attachment and biofilm formation may be a specific response of Mycobacterium sp. LB501T to optimize substrate bioavailability. 相似文献

The mutagenic activity of 7 aza-aromatic hydrocarbons, which are suspected of being environmental pollutants, was assessed using the Salmonella assay. The compounds tested were: 1-azachrysene, 2-azachrysene, 4-azachrysene, 1-azabenz[a]anthracene, 2-azabenz[a]anthracene, 9-azabenz[a]anthracene, and 12-benzo[a]pyrene. None of the compounds was mutagenic in the absence of S9, but all were mutagenic in the presence of S9. 相似文献

Quinones and other oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (oxy-PAHs) are toxic and/or genotoxic compounds observed to be cocontaminants at PAH-contaminated sites, but their formation and fate in contaminated environmental systems have not been well studied. Anthracene-9,10-dione (anthraquinone) has been found in most PAH-contaminated soils and sediments that have been analyzed for oxy-PAHs. However, little is known about the biodegradation of oxy-PAHs, and no bacterial isolates have been described that are capable of growing on or degrading anthraquinone. PAH-degrading Mycobacterium spp. are the only organisms that have been investigated to date for metabolism of a PAH quinone, 4,5-pyrenequinone. We utilized DNA-based stable-isotope probing (SIP) with [U-13C]anthraquinone to identify bacteria associated with anthraquinone degradation in PAH-contaminated soil from a former manufactured-gas plant site both before and after treatment in a laboratory-scale bioreactor. SIP with [U-13C]anthracene was also performed to assess whether bacteria capable of growing on anthracene are the same as those identified to grow on anthraquinone. Organisms closely related to Sphingomonas were the most predominant among the organisms associated with anthraquinone degradation in bioreactor-treated soil, while organisms in the genus Phenylobacterium comprised the majority of anthraquinone degraders in the untreated soil. Bacteria associated with anthracene degradation differed from those responsible for anthraquinone degradation. These results suggest that Sphingomonas and Phenylobacterium species are associated with anthraquinone degradation and that anthracene-degrading organisms may not possess mechanisms to grow on anthraquinone. 相似文献

Phytotoxicity of six polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their 16 oxidized derivatives that may be microbial metabolites arising in the course of PAH degradation was determined using an express test with the seedlings of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). It was shown that germinating capacity is the least informative characteristic and the most useful parameter is development of seedlings during 3 days in the presence of compounds under investigation. Among unsubstituted compounds, toxicity in respect to seedlings decreased in the series fluorene > phenanthrene > anthracene. Chrysene, fluoranthene, and pyrene stimulated shoot development. It was found that some of the metabolites produced as a result of microbial degradation of phenanthrene (9,10-phenanthrenequinone, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic and benzoic acids) are more toxic for plants than starting PAH molecules. The obtained results are important for understanding rhizosphere processes associated with phytoremediation technique. 相似文献

Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2) are phenoloxidases involved in the transformation of the recalcitrant fraction of organic matter in soil. These enzymes are also able to transform certain aromatic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and are known to be inhibited by chloride ions. This study aims to test the potential of some fungal strains newly isolated from natural environments subjected to high osmotic pressure such as coastal ecosystems, to produce chloride tolerant laccases. Three strains were identified as Chaetomium sp., Xylogone sphaerospora (two Ascomycota), and Coprinopsis sp. (a Basidiomycota) and the laccases produced by these fungi were weakly inhibited by chloride ions compared with previous data from literature. Moreover, we tested their reactivity towards various PAHs which are widespread anthropic pollutants. They were able to transform anthracene to 9,10-anthraquinone and we determine 7.5 eV as the threshold of ionization potential for PAH oxidation by these laccases. 相似文献

Degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by an immobilized mixed bacterial culture 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The mixed bacterial culture MK1 was capable of degrading a wide spectrum of aromatic compounds both as free and as immobilized cells. By offering anthracene oil or a defined mixture of phenol, naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene and pyrene (in concentrations of 0.1–0.2 mm, respectively) as sources of carbon and energy, a specific degradation pattern correlating with the condensation degree was observed. Regarding the defined mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons, complete metabolism was reached for phenol (0.1 mm) after 1 day, for naphthalene (0.1 mm) after 2 days and for phenanthrene (0.1 mm) after 15 days of cultivation. The conversion of anthracene (0.1 mm) and pyrene (0.1 mm) resulted in minimal residual concentrations, analogous to fluoranthene and pyrene of the anthracene oil (0.1%). Maximal total degradation for the tricyclic compounds dibenzofurane, fluorene, dibenzothiophene, phenanthrene and anthracene of the anthracene oil (0.1%) occurred after 5 days. In general, a significant metabolisation of the tetracyclic aromatic hydrocarbons fluoranthene and pyrene was observed after the degradation of phenol, naphthalene and most of the tricyclic compounds. Doubling the start concentrations of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons effected higher degradation rates. Cell growth occurred simultaneously with the conversion of phenol, naphthalene and the tricyclic compounds. The immobilized cells showed stable growth and, compared to freely suspended cells, the same degradation sequence as well as an equivalent degradation potential — even in a model soil system.

When benz[a] anthracene was oxidised in a reaction mixture containing ascorbic acid, ferrous sulphate and EDTA, the non-K-region dihydrodiols, trans-1,2-dihydro-1,2-dihydroxybenz[a] anthracene and trans-3,4-dihydro-3,4-dihydroxybenz[a] anthracene together with small amounts of the 8,9- and 10,11-dihydrodiols were formed. When oxidised in a similar system, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene yielded the K-region dihydrodiol, trans-5,6-dihydro-5,6-dihydroxy-7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene and the non-K-region dihydrodiols, trans-3,4-dihydro-3,4-dihydroxy-7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene, trans-8,9-dihydro-8,9-dihydroxy-7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene, trans-10,11-dihydro-10,11-dihydroxy-7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene and a trace of the 1,2-dihydrodiol. The structures and sterochemistry of the dihydrodiols were established by comparisons of their UV spectra and chromatographic characteristics using HPLC with those of authentic compounds or, when no authentic compounds were available, by UV, NMR and mass spectral analysis. An examination by HPLC of the dihydrodiols formed in the metabolism, by rat-liver microsomal fractions, of benz[a] anthracene and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene was carried out. The metabolic dihydriols were identified by comparisons of their chromatographic and UV or fluorescence spectral characteristics with compounds of known structures. The principle metabolic dihydriols formed from both benz[a] anthracene and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene were the trans-5,6- and trans-8,9-dihydrodiols. The 1,2- and 10,11-dihydrodiols were identified as minor products of the metabolism of benz [a] anthracene and the tentative identification of the trans-3,4-dihydriol as a metabolite was made from fluorescence and chromatographic data. The minor metabolic dihydriols formed from 7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene were the trans-3,4-dihydrodiol and the trans-10,11-dihydriol but the trans-1,2-dihydrodiol was not detected in the present study. 相似文献

A bacterial strain was isolated from a Mumbai coastal area. It was dosed with anthracene and phenanthrene, and, after 14 days of incubation, it had degraded 90% and 93% of the anthracene and phenanthrene, respectively. The metabolites were extracted and identified by ultraviolet (UV)-visible light absorption, high-performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and by comparing with actual compounds and data. Neutral extracts from anthracene showed four metabolites, viz 1,2-dihydroxyanthracene, 6,7-benzocoumarin, 1-methoxy-2-hydroxyanthracene, and 9,10 anthraquinone. When Pseudomonas were grown in the presence of phenanthrene, two metabolites, viz 9,10-dihydroxyphenanthrene and 3,4-dihydroxyphenanthrene were identified. 相似文献

Mycobacterium strain S1, originally described as Rhodococcus strain S1 by chemotaxonomic criteria, was isolated by growth on anthracene, and is unable to use any of nine other polycyclic aromatic compounds as carbon source. Metabolism of phenanthrene during growth on anthracene as sole carbon source results in the accumulation of traces of a dihydrodiol metabolite in the growth medium, which, by comparison with authentic standards, has been tentatively identified as phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol. Anthracene metabolites were ruled out on the basis of comparisons with authentic anthracene dihydrodiols from Pseudomonas fluorescens D1 and chemically synthesized anthrols. The original source of phenanthrene for dihydrodiol production was phenanthrene present as a < 1% contaminant in the anthracene used as carbon source. However, addition of further phenanthrene to the anthracene growth medium increased the level of phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol formed. Mycobacterium strain S1 also produced phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol when grown in a glucose-salts medium in the presence of phenanthrene. This dihydrodiol is a dead-end metabolite, and neither it nor its parent hydrocarbon are able to support the growth of Mycobacterium strain S1. Studies with metyrapone and ancimidol, which did not inhibit growth on anthracene but did inhibit formation of phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol, suggest it is likely the product of a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase-like activity. 相似文献
