The effect of 0.05 M and 1.5 M NaCl treatments on CHO cells during and after irradiation has been examined. Treatment with either hypotonic or hypertonic salt solutions during and after irradiation resulted in the fixation of radiation damage which would otherwise not be expressed. The half time for fixation was 4 to 5 min, and the increased expression of the potentially lethal damage by anisotonic solutions was mainly characterized by large decreases in the shoulder of the survival curve, as well as by decreases in DO. Fixation of radiation damage at 37 degrees C occurred to a much greater extent for the hypertonic treatment than for the hypotonic treatment and was greater at 37 degrees C than at 20 degrees C. Although both the hypotonic and hypertonic treatments during and after irradiation reduced or eliminated the repair of sublethal and potentially lethal damage, treatment during irradiation only, radiosensitized the cells when the treatment was hypotonic, and radioprotected the cells when the treatment was hypertonic. These observations are discussed in relation to salt treatments and different temperatures altering competition between repair and fixation of potentially lethal lesions, the number of which depends on the particular salt treatment at the time of irradiation. 相似文献

The effects of naphthalene on microbial communities in the bottom boundary layer of the Delaware Bay estuary were investigated in microcosms using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with oligonucleotide probes. Three days after the addition of naphthalene, rates of bacterial production and naphthalene mineralization were higher than in no-addition controls and than in cases where glucose was added. Analyses using both DGGE and FISH indicated that the bacterial community changed in response to the addition of naphthalene. FISH data indicated that a few major phylogenetic groups increased in response to the glucose addition and especially to the naphthalene addition. DGGE also demonstrated differences in community composition among treatments, with four phylotypes being unique to naphthalene-amended treatments and three of these having 16S rRNA genes similar to known hydrocarbon degraders. The bacterial community in the naphthalene-amended treatment was distinct from the communities in the glucose-amended treatment and in the no-addition control. These data suggest that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons may have large effects on microbial community structure in estuaries and probably on microbially mediated biogeochemical processes. 相似文献

The naphthalene-degrading activity of a Pseudomonas sp. strain isolated from a creosote-contaminated soil was shown to be encoded by the IncP9 plasmid pNF142 by transfer to Pseudomonas putida KT2442. The effects of the inoculant strain KT2442 (pNF142) and of naphthalene contamination on the soil bacterial community were studied in microcosms with the following treatments: (I) soil, (II) soil with naphthalene, (III) soil with naphthalene and inoculated with KT2442 (pNF142). The inoculant became the dominant bacterial population in treatment (III) as evidenced by cultivation and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis. The bacterial DGGE profiles revealed drastically reduced complexity due to the numerical dominance of the inoculant. However, group-specific fingerprints (beta-proteobacteria, actinobacteria) that excluded KT2442 (pNF142) showed less severe changes in the bacterial community patterns. A major effect of naphthalene on the soil bacterial community was observed in treatment (II) after 21 days. Two dominant bands appeared whose sequences showed the highest similarity to those of Burkholderia sp. RP007 and Nocardia vinaceae based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. These bands were less intense in treatment (III). The increased abundance of RP007-like populations due to naphthalene contamination was also confirmed by PCR amplification of the phnAc gene. The nahAc and nahH genes were detected in DNA and cDNA only in treatment III. Although the inoculant strain KT2442 (pNF142) showed good survival and expression of genes involved in naphthalene degradation, this study suggests that KT2442 (pNF142) suppressed the enrichment of indigenous naphthalene degraders. 相似文献

The capacity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-utilizing bacteria to produce biosurfactants was investigated. Twenty-three bacteria isolated from a soil contaminated with petroleum wastes were able to form clearing zones on mineral salt agar plates sprayed with solutions of PAHs. Naphthalene and phenanthrene were utilized as sole substrates. Biosurfactant production was detected by surface tension lowering and emulsifying activities from 10 of these strains grown in an iron-limited salt medium supplemented with high concentrations of dextrose or mannitol, as well as with naphthalene or phenanthrene. Glycolipid determinations showed that in cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa 19SJ on naphthalene, the maximal productivity of biosurfactants was delayed compared with that in cultures grown on mannitol. However, when small amounts of biosurfactants and naphthalene degradation intermediates were present at the onset of the cultivation, the delay was markedly shortened. Production of biosurfactants was accompanied by an increase in the aqueous concentration of naphthalene, indicating that the microorganism was promoting the solubility of its substrate. Detectable amounts of glycolipids were also produced on phenanthrene. This is the first report of biosurfactant production resulting from PAH metabolism. 相似文献

A comparative study was made of the susceptibility of broad-host range vector plasmids belonging to Inc P1 and Q groups in Escherichia coli to various curing agents. Plumbagin and SDS eliminated RP4 (Inc P1 group) plasmid whereas pKT231 (Inc Q) and pRK2013 (having ColE1 replicon) were eliminated by hexamine ruthenium (III) chloride, alpha-santonin, coumermycin A1 and cis-dichloro diamine platinum (II). The curing activity of these agents was specific. 相似文献

Multispecies and monoculture rhizoremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the soil 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this study, we investigated the potential of multispecies rhizoremediation and monoculture rhizoremediation in decontaminating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminated soil Plant-mediated PAH dissipation was evaluated using monoplanted soil microcosms and soil microcosms vegetated with several different grass species (Brachiaria serrata and Eleusine corocana). The dissipation of naphthalene and fluorene was higher in the "multispecies" vegetated soil compared to the monoplanted and nonplanted control soil. The concentration of naphthalene was undetectable in the multispecies vegetated treatment compared to 96% removal efficiencies in the monoplanted treatments and 63% in the nonplanted control after 10 wk of incubation. Similar removal efficiencies were obtained for fluorene. However, there was no significant difference in the dissipation of pyrene in both the mono- and multispecies vegetated treatments. There also was no significant difference between the dissipation of PAHs in the monoplanted treatments with different grass species. Principle component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis were used to evaluate functional diversity of the different treatments during phytoremediation of PAHs. Both PCA and cluster analysis revealed differences in the metabolic fingerprints of the PAH contaminated and noncontaminated soils. However, the differences in metabolic diversity between the multispecies vegetated and monoplanted treatments were not clearly revealed. The results suggest that multispecies rhizoremediation using tolerant plant species rather than monoculture rhizoremediation have the potential to enhance pollutant removal in moderately contaminated soils. 相似文献

Improvement of Raw Sausage Fermentation by Stress-Conditioning of the Starter Organism Lactobacillus sakei 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Effective growth and high acidification activity during meat fermentation are key characteristics of starter lactobacilli to ensure hygienic safety and sensory quality of the product. In this study, we demonstrated that the performance of Lactobacillus sakei in sausage fermentation can be improved by preinoculation treatments with sublethal heat, cold, and salt stress. Sausages were produced and inoculated with stress-treated cells of L. sakei 23 K (pLPV111) and the isogenic mutant of the class III heat-shock repressor CtsR, which was previously shown to exhibit improved growth in fermenting sausages. The pH values of sausages fermented with stressed cells attained defined threshold values in a distinctly shorter time than those inoculated with unstressed cells. In particular, the cold-stressed cells (4 degrees C) reduced the pH to 5.0 within approximately 40 hours compared with approximately 70 hours for untreated cells. This enhanced acidification activity of the cold-stressed cells was consistent with an increased growth rate. Growth studies in culture medium showed that stress-treated cells with improved performance did not exhibit this advantage when exposed to curing salt, one of the major stressors at the beginning of sausage fermentation. Preinoculation stress treatment is a promising way to improve the effectiveness of meat starter lactobacilli. 相似文献

Evidence for aromatic ring reduction in the biodegradation pathwayof carboxylated naphthalene by a sulfate reducing consortium 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Naphthalene was used as a model compound in order to study the anaerobic pathway of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degradation. Previously we had determined that carboxylation is an initial step for anaerobic metabolism of naphthalene, but no other intermediate metabolites were identified (Zhang & Young 1997). In the present study we further elucidate the pathway with the identification of six novel naphthalene metabolites detected when cultures were fed naphthalene in the presence of its analog 1-fluoronaphthalene. Results from cultures supplemented with either deuterated naphthalene or non-deuterated naphthalene plus [13C]bicarbonate confirm that the metabolites originated from naphthalene. Three of these metabolites were identified by comparison with the following standards: 2-naphthoic acid (2-NA), 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthoic acid, and decahydro-2-naphthoic acid. The presence of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-NA as a metabolite of naphthalene degradation indicates that the first reduction reaction occurs at the unsubstituted ring, rather than the carboxylated ring. The overall results suggest that after the initial carboxylation of naphthalene, 2-NA is sequentially reduced to decahydro-2-naphthoic acid through 5 hydrogenation reactions, each of which eliminated one double bond. Incorporation of deuterium atoms from D2O into 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthoic acid suggests that water is the proton source for hydrogenation. 相似文献

The feasibility of using Portland cement and organobentonite to stabilize and solidify Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) contaminated soil was examined. Naphthalene and phenanthrene in solid and dissolved phases were selected as PAHs compounds to represent organic contaminants in the soil. Different tests including Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP), Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), and permeability tests were conducted on the stabilization/solidification (S/S) contaminated soils. The leaching test results confirmed a significant reduction in the leaching of naphthalene and phenanthrene from the stabilized soil specimen by adding 2%, 5%, and 10% of organoclay during solidification/stabilization. Based on the results for the tested ranges of cement and organoclay for S/S contaminated soil, the optimum mix design includes 5% of cement and 2% of organoclay. The observation in this study confirmed that organoclay particles sorbed the organic contaminates and therefore naphthalene and phenanthrene leachate concentration will be reduced. Moreover, results show that increasing the curing time of S/S products reduces the naphthalene and phenanthrene leachate concentration. 相似文献

Summary Clorobiocin, an inhibitor of the gyrB subunit of DNA gyrase, was used for the curing of some Escherichia coli plasmids. Of the plasmids studied, ampicillin resistant R28K and a miniplasmid derived from R1 drd-19 were effectively eliminated. We also succeeded in eliminating the ColA factor from E. coli strain B834 (pBS103), which was resistant to the effect of currently used curing agents. Although a derivative of ColE1-pBR322 was effectively cured by clorobiocin, the ColE1-plasmid was resistant to its effect. The ColV plasmid determining virulence was effectively eliminated. 相似文献

以玉米品种郑单958为实验材料,分别用100 mmol/L NaCl、100 mmol/L KCl和50 mmol/L Na2CO3处理其幼苗3 d,研究不同盐类对玉米根系质子分泌和细胞膜透性的影响.结果表明:不同盐处理都显著抑制玉米幼苗根系的生长,抑制程度依次为Na2CO3>KCl>NaCl;不同盐处理均使玉米幼苗根系Na 含量显著增加,NaCl和Na2CO3处理显著降低根系K 含量而导致其Na /K 升高,但KCl处理却显著提高根系K 含量使其Na /K 降低;不同盐处理均能显著增加细胞膜透性而降低根系质子分泌能力,影响程度依次为Na2CO3>KCl>NaCl.研究发现,相同阳离子浓度条件下,KCl处理对玉米根系质子分泌的抑制作用强于NaCl,碱性盐的抑制作用大于中性盐;盐胁迫可能通过改变玉米幼苗根系质膜的稳定性来影响质子分泌,从而抑制根系生长. 相似文献

Destruction of salmonellae in inoculated and naturally contaminated natural animal casings was studied. Salmonellae were effectively destroyed (99.999%) in inoculated hog casings after exposure for 24 h to saturated brine at pH 4.0 and 10.0 adjusted with acetic acid and sodium hydroxide, respectively. Treatment of inoculated hog and sheep casings in saturated brine or saturated brine with citric acid was not nearly as effective as brine containing acetic acid or sodium hydroxide. Salmonellae in naturally contaminated hog casings were virtually eliminated after 21 days of storage in crystalline sodium chloride. Salmonella in sheep and hog casings were eliminated after 7 days of storage in crystalline salt. Treatment of naturally contaminated hog casings with glycerin-salt or sorbitol-salt solutions was not as effective in destroying salmonellae as treatment with crystalline salt. 相似文献

Bacterial decomposition of organic matter is frequently enhanced when protozoa are present. Various mechanisms have been proposed to account for this phenomenon, including effects associated with grazing by protozoa (such as increased recycling of limiting nutrients, removal of senescent cells, or reduction of competition among bacteria) and indirect effects of grazers (such as excretion of bacterial growth factors). Few studies have examined the role of protozoa in bacterial degradation of xenobiotic compounds in sediment containing a natural community of microbes. The effect of protozoa on mineralization of naphthalene was investigated in this study. Laboratory experiments were conducted using field-contaminated estuarine sediment, with the indigenous microbial populations. Mineralization of naphthalene was up to four times greater in treatments with actively grazing protozoa than in treatments containing the grazing inhibitor cytochalasin B. Control experiments confirmed that the grazing inhibitor was not toxic to ciliates but did prevent them from grazing. The grazing inhibitor did not affect growth rates of a mixed culture of sediment bacteria or a pure polycyclic-aromatic-hydrocarbon-degrading strain. Once grazing had been inhibited, supplementing treatments with inorganic N and P, glucose, or additional protozoa failed to stimulate naphthalene mineralization. Naphthalene-degrading bacteria were four to nine times less abundant when protozoan grazing was suppressed. We suggest that protozoa enhance naphthalene mineralization by selectively grazing on those sediment bacteria that ordinarily would outcompete naphthalene-degrading bacteria. 相似文献

Salt stress-induced changes in antioxidant enzymes, such as catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase (GR), total chlorophyll content, and lipid peroxidation measured as malondialdehyde (MDA) content, in leaves of a green bean genotype Gevas sirsk 57 (GS57) and cv. Fransiz 4F-89 differing in salt tolerance were investigated. Plants were subjected to three salt treatments (0, 50, and 100 mM NaCl) under controlled climatic conditions for 7 days. The salt-sensitive cv. 4F-89 exhibited a decrease in GR activity at all salt treatments, but the salt-tolerant genotype GS57 showed only a slight decrease in GR under 50 mM salt treatment and an increase under 100 mM salt treatment. CAT and APX activities increased with increasing salt stress in both varieties. CAT and APX activities were higher in the salt-tolerant GS57 than salt-ensitive cv. 4F-89. The two varieties showed an increase in MDA content with an increase in salinity, but the increase in sensitive cv. 4F-89 under salt stress was higher than that in salt-tolerant GS57 genotype. The increasing NaCl concentration caused a reduction in the chlorophyll content in cv. 4F-89 but not in GS57. 相似文献

Abstract Pseudomonas sp. HV3 grows on naphthalene but not on biphenyl, as the sole source of carbon. When the cells of Pseudomonas sp. HV3 grown on naphthalene were shaken with biphenyl as the carbon source in a mineral salt solution, a yellow metabolite identified as the meta -cleavage product of biphenyl was excreted. The degradation of biphenyl stopped here, but was completed if either 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy acetic acid (MCPA)-degrading mixed culture or a Nocardia strain was added to the growth solution. Neither of these uses naphthalene or biphenyl as growth substrate. The mixed culture of Pseudomonas sp. HV3 and Nocardia sp. also degrades the commercial polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) mixture Aroclor 1221. A yellow metabolite was likewise produced in the degradation, and sometimes two different peaks of the yellow metabolite were observed. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses showed that 40–87% of Aroclor 1221 was degraded during an incubation time of 6–21 days. Chlorobenzoic acids were found as metabolites. 相似文献

Establishment of Salt Stress Tolerant Rice Plants Through Step Up NaCl Treatment In Vitro 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Establishment of salt tolerant rice plants was examined by single step or step up NaCl treatments of shoot bud clumps in vitro, and variation among in vitro salt tolerant plants were examined by rapid amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Shoot bud clumps were necrotic, stubbed or dead when subjected to single step treatment with 1.5 or 2.0 % NaCl. Conversely all the clumps could grow vigorously when subjected to step up salt treatment with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 % NaCl at 3 week intervals and 2 % NaCl tolerant plants were established. RAPD revealed shoot bud clumps with and without different NaCl treatments, seedlings from field and grown in vitro, and regenerants from callus were genetically close to one another. Conversely, callus cultures were genetically isolated. Growth under different salt stress conditions was not correlated with the genetic variation, suggesting that 2.0 % NaCl tolerant plants might not result from genetic mutation but were due to adaptation of plants by step up NaCl treatment in vitro. 相似文献

When flies were treated with 0- 0.5% sodium tetraborate by feeding for 24 h, mortality in treatments was not different from controls. Fecundity and fertility were reduced by 0.5% sodium tetraborate. When flies were fed for 48 h, mortality of both males and females increased in the 0.5% sodium tetraborate treatment; oviposition was eliminated for 20 d after treatment. When treatment was extended to 168 h, 0.1% sodium tetraborate caused increased mortality and decreased fecundity and fertility. Fed for 168 h, 0.2 and 0.5% sodium tetraborate killed almost all flies within the 7-d treatment. Oviposition of survivors in 0.1 and 0.2% sodium tetraborate treatments was arrested for 20 d after treatment. 相似文献
