多溴联苯醚的微生物降解研究进展

多溴联苯醚(Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, PBDEs)作为一种阻燃剂在水体、土壤、沉积物和大气等自然环境中广泛存在。原本认为水溶性低而疏水性高的PBDEs 很难被生物所利用, 但近年研究表明微生物降解是PBDEs 降解的一种重要机制, 部分微生物能参与PBDEs 降解过程。在有氧条件下, 表面活性剂、共代谢基质和初始生长基质等都能影响微生物降解PBDEs; 双加氧酶在PBDEs 降解过程中起着关键作用。电子供体和助溶剂等则在微生物厌氧降解PBDEs 过程中发挥重要作用, 还原脱溴作用是微生物对PBDEs 进行厌氧降解的主要机制。筛选PBDEs 高效降解菌以及进一步揭示其降解机理对于修复PBDEs 污染问题具有重要的理论意义和现实意义。

Microbial reductive dehalogenation of polychlorinated biphenyls

Under anaerobic conditions, microbial reductive dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) occurs in soils and aquatic sediments. In contrast to dechlorination of supplemented single congeners for which frequently ortho dechlorination has been observed, reductive dechlorination mainly attacks meta and/or para chlorines of PCB mixtures in contaminated sediments, although in a few instances ortho dechlorination of PCBs has been observed. Different microorganisms appear to be responsible for different dechlorination activities and the occurrence of various dehalogenation routes. No axenic cultures of an anaerobic microorganism have been obtained so far. Most probable number determinations indicate that the addition of PCB congeners, as potential electron acceptors, stimulates the growth of PCB-dechlorinating microorganisms. A few PCB-dechlorinating enrichment cultures have been obtained and partially characterized. Temperature, pH, availability of naturally occurring or of supplemented carbon sources, and the presence or absence of H(2) or other electron donors and competing electron acceptors influence the dechlorination rate, extent and route of PCB dechlorination. We conclude from the sum of the experimental data that these factors influence apparently the composition of the active microbial community and thus the routes, the rates and the extent of the dehalogenation. The observed effects are due to the specificity of the dehalogenating bacteria which become active as well as changing interactions between the dehalogenating and non-dehalogenating bacteria. Important interactions include the induced changes in the formation and utilization of H(2) by non-dechlorinating and dechlorinating bacteria, competition for substrates and other electron donors and acceptors, and changes in the formation of acidic fermentation products by heterotrophic and autotrophic acidogenic bacteria leading to changes in the pH of the sediments.

Gestational and Early Postnatal Exposure to an Environmentally Relevant Mixture of Brominated Flame Retardants: General Toxicity and Skeletal Variations

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are stable environmental contaminants known to exert endocrine‐disrupting effects. Developmental exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) is correlated with impaired thyroid hormone signaling, as well as estrogenic and anti‐androgenic effects. As previous studies have focused on a single congener or technical mixture, the purpose of the current study was to examine the effects of gestational and early postnatal exposure to an environmentally relevant mixture of BFRs designed to reflect house dust levels of PBDEs and hexabromocyclododecane on postnatal developmental outcomes. Pregnant Sprague‐Dawley rats were exposed to the PBDE mixture from preconception to weaning (PND 21) through the diet containing 0, 0.75, 250, and 750 mg mixture/kg diet. BFR exposure induced transient reductions in body weight at PND 35 in male and from PND 30–45 in female offspring (250 and 750 mg/kg). Liver weights (PND 21) and xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme activities (PND 21 and 46) were increased in both male and female offspring exposed to 250 and 750 mg/kg diets. Furthermore, serum T4 levels were reduced at PND 21 in both,male and female offspring (250 and 750 mg/kg). At PND 21, Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was decreased in males exposed to 750 mg/kg dietat, and females exposed to 250 and 750 mg/kg diets. At PND 46 ALP was significantly elevated in males (250 and 750 mg/kg). Variations in the cervical vertebrae and phalanges were observed in pups at PND 4 (250 and 750 mg/kg). Therefore, BFR exposure during gestation through to weaning alters developmental programming in the offspring. The persistence of BFRs in the environment remains a cause for concern with regards to developmental toxicity

【目的】通过免培养的分子生物学方法,比较受溴代阻燃剂污染严重的河流底泥和与未污染水库底泥中细菌多样性差异,解析二者间细菌群落结构,为污染河流的治理与生物修复提供相关的理论依据。【方法】从中国贵屿溴代阻燃剂污染区练江底泥样品和未污染水库底泥样品中分别提取微生物总DNA,用细菌通用引物27F和1500R扩增16S rRNA基因,构建16S rRNA基因文库。用HhaⅠ和HinfⅠ2种限制性内切酶对克隆子进行扩增产物rDNA的限制性酶切分析(ARDRA),挑取不同的操作分类单元OUT中的克隆进行测序并构建系统发育树,比较代表克隆子的基本分类类群和生物多样性构成。【结果】未污染水库底泥中细菌群落组成主要包括变形细菌门(Proteobacteria)的α、β、γ和δ4个亚门、浮霉菌门(Planctomycetes)、酸杆菌门(Acidobacteria)、放线菌门(Actinobacteria)、绿弯菌门(Chloroflexi)、疣微菌门(Verrucomicrobia)和厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)。优势菌是酸杆菌,占文库克隆的30.2%。污染河流底泥中细菌群落组成包括变形细菌门(Proteobacteria)的α、β、δ和ε4个亚门、浮霉菌门(Planctomycetes)、绿菌门或拟杆菌门(Chlorobi orBacteroidetes)、酸杆菌门(Acidobacteria)、放线菌门(Actinobacteria)、绿弯菌门(Chloroflexi)、待定菌群candidatedivision OP01、candidate division OP08和candidate division WS3的相似菌。优势菌是ε-变形细菌和绿弯菌,占文库克隆的44.9%。【结论】受溴代阻燃剂污染河流底泥中的细菌群落具有较高水平的多样性,与未污染底泥有显著区别,主要体现在ε-变形细菌和绿弯菌在细菌群落中具有优势地位。这种优势种群的改变可能与污染物的过度富集具有一定的相关性,对于我们进一步探索和了解溴代阻燃剂的微生物修复具有一定的指导意义。     

Enrichment of a Microbial Culture Capable of Reductive Debromination of the Flame Retardant Tetrabromobisphenol-A, and Identification of the Intermediate Metabolites Produced in the Process

Tetrabromobisphenol-A is a reactive flame retardant used in the production of many plastic polymers. In previous research, it was demonstrated that anaerobic microorganisms from contaminated sediment debrominate tetrabromobisphenol-A to bisphenol-A, but an enrichment culture was not established. The current study was carried out to identify the intermediate metabolites in this process and to determine the factors facilitating enrichment of debrominating microorganisms. During the enrichment process in an anaerobic semi-continuous batch reactor, tetrabromobisphenol-A debromination gradually slowed down with concurrent accumulation of three intermediate products. These compounds were tentatively identified using GC-MS as tri-, di-, and mono-brominated bisphenol-A. GC-MS and HPLC analyses showed one dominant metabolite of dibromobisphenol-A, and NMR analysis identified it as 2,2'-dibromobisphenol-A. Addition of sterile sediment(15% wt/wt) to the reactor stimulated debromination of tetrabromobisphenol-A.Furthermore, different solid amendments such as surface soil and pulverized gray chalk from the site subsurface (100 m below ground) were also stimulating agents.We conclude that organic matter is involved in stimulation since the stimulationeffect of the sediment, soil and gray chalk was abolished after it was heat-treatedto 550 °C. Our study suggests that the debrominating culture requires someorganic components found in the sediment, soil, and chalk in order to sustain activityand perhaps to survive. The possible mechanisms of stimulation by these solids arediscussed.     

Teratogenic effects of tetrabromobisphenol A on Xenopus tropicalis embryos

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is the most widely used brominated flame retardant and a known thyroid disruptor. We reported exposing Xenopus tropicalis embryos (NF10) to 0.01, 0.1 or 1 mg/L of TBBPA with or without 70 µg/L triiodothyronine (T₃). Compared with the controls, 1 mg/L of TBBPA significantly reduced the body length of embryos after 24, 36 and 48 h of exposure. Embryos treated with TBBPA showed multiple malformations, including: abnormal eyes, skin hypopigmentation, enlarged proctodaeum, narrow fins and pericardial edemas. The effect of abnormal eyes manifested itself in the loss of pigmentation, reduction in size, or absence of external eyes. The degree of eye malformations was quantified with the index of eye malformations (IEM) with 0 being normal and 3 being severe. In the 1 mg/L TBBPA treatment groups, the incidence of total malformations (ITM) was 68–93%, and IEM was 0.8–0.9. T₃ showed no teratogenic effects on embryos, but it significantly enhanced TBBPA-induced teratogenic effects. In the T₃ + 1 mg/L TBBPA treatment groups, ITM was 91–99%, and IEM was 1.8–1.9. Histological observations showed that the retinas were generally smaller, and the lenses were underdeveloped or even absent. These results indicate that TBBPA at relatively high concentration has teratogenic effects on X. tropicalis embryos. The results also suggest that thyroid hormone signaling might be involved in TBBPA induced-teratogenicity.
