Biosorption of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate by seaweed biomass 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Samples of various Sargassum species were collected in the Hong Kong marine environment and used for studies on biosorption of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP). Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to determine the removal capacity and removal efficiency of the biosorbents. The DEHP removal ability was similar among beached seaweed and three freshly collected Sargassum species. Different physico-chemical factors were evaluated in order to enhance the performance of the biosorbents. Under optimized conditions (25 mg biomass, initial pH 4, 25 °C, 40 mg L–1 DEHP), the mean removal capacity of beached seaweed and Sargassum siliquastrum was 5.68 and 6.54 mg g–1, respectively. Examination of the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms showed that the biosorption phenomenon by these biosorbents could well be described by these models. Desorption of DEHP was also assessed with methanol, which showed the most satisfactory desorbing ability. Further study in multiple adsorption–desorption of DEHP by the biosorbents demonstrated the reusability of both beached seaweed and S. siliquastrum for biosorption of DEHP. 相似文献

Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a toxic phthalate ester, is a ubiquitous contaminant due to its extensive use and persistence. No available treatment method can cost-effectively remove it from industrial wastewater. In a previous study, DEHP was effectively removed from aqueous solution by adsorption onto the biomass of selected seaweed, i.e., beached seaweed and Sargassum siliquastrum. Since biosorption cannot detoxify DEHP, the degradation (and detoxification) of desorbed DEHP from seaweed biomass by photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) was attempted. The first part of this study was to optimize the conditions for the degradation of desorbed DEHP in aqueous solution by PCO. Under optimized conditions, a total degradation of 20 mg/L of DEHP was achieved within 45 min. The degradation intermediates/products such as phthalic anhydride and 2-ethyhexanol were identified by GC-MS analysis. Total organic carbon analysis was also used to ensure the complete mineralization of DEHP. The Microtox® test was used to assess the toxicities of the parent and degraded compounds. In the second part of this study, DEHP was first removed and concentrated by adsorption onto seaweed biomass under the conditions optimized in the previous study. It was then desorbed from seaweed biomass and degraded by PCO. Results indicate that the treatment for DEHP by integrating biosorption and PCO is feasible. 相似文献

The effects of ethylene on the elongation of radish hypocotyls and on dry matter partitioning between tubers and shoots were analysed in order to gain insight into the possible role of ethylene in the regulation of tuberization. Treatment of very young seedlings with ethylene results in heavier tubers (Vreugdenhil et al. 1984). Here we report that addition of ethylene or ethephon two days after germination inhibited the elongation of the hypocotyl; trapping of endogenously produced ethylene had a stimulative effect on elongation. Ethephon, sprayed at a later stage, changed the partitioning of assimilates between tubers and shoots, resulting in lower tuber weights. It is concluded that ethylene had a dual effect on tuberization in radish: at a very early stage of development it inhibited elongation of the hypocotyl, resulting in earlier tuber formation and heavier tubers. At a later stage, it had a negative effect on tuber weight by changing dry matter partitioning. 相似文献

A simple, rapid and sensitive reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method with UV detection was developed for the quantification of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in parenteral nutrition admixtures containing fat emulsion and in plasma samples of children daily treated by total parenteral nutrition. The analyte and the internal standard, di-n-heptyl phthalate, were extracted twice using hexane and the organic layer separated and dried under nitrogen. The residues were reconstituted with acetonitrile and 20 μl was injected into a Waters Spherisorb C18 column, the UV detector was set at 202 nm. The mobile phase was acetonitrile–aqueous buffer (triethylamine 0.08% adjusted to pH 2.8 with 1 M phosphoric acid) mixture (88:12, v/v) and it was pumped at 1 ml/min. Average recoveries were 97% or greater. This method was successfully used to investigate the amounts of DEHP which can leach from bags and tubing into fat emulsion and which could contaminate children under long-term parenteral nutrition. On the other hand, the circulating DEHP concentrations were estimated in four children under regular long-term parenteral nutrition. 相似文献

The degradation of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and its intermediary hydrolysis products 2-ethylhexanol (2-EH) and mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) was investigated in a methanogenic phthalic acid ester-degrading enrichment culture at 37°C. 2-Ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA), a plausible degradation product of 2-EH, was also studied. The culture readily degraded 2-EH via 2-EHA to methane which was formed in stoichiometric amounts assuming complete degradation of 2-EH to methane and carbon dioxide. MEHP was degraded to stoichiometric amounts of methane with phthalic acid as a transient intermediate. DEHP remained unaffected throughout the experimental period (330 days).Abbreviations 2-EH

Shoot cultures were established from seedling shoot tips of Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus Bailey cv. Gungjung, (Japanese radish) cultured on a Murashige-Skoog medium supplemented with ca. 4.5–135 M kinetin or N6-benzyladenine. The latter cytokinin supported overall better growth, and 22.2 M was adopted for maintenance of established cultures. The nitrate: ammonium levels in the medium proved optimal for growth and shoot proliferation and both these parameters were significantly increased by addition of adenine sulfate or sodium phosphate. Rooting of excised shoots was achieved on auxin containing medium. Indole-3-butyric acid (ca. 5 or 10 M) also enhanced shoot growth. Plants were easily established in soil, appeared morphologically normal, and flowered. 相似文献

The effect of the plasticizer di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate on the intracellular membranes of hepatocytes was investigated. Supplementation of the diet with 2% plasticizer resulted in the appearance of a large number of peroxisomes, and the number of mitochondria was also greatly increased. No significant change in the amount or appearance of the endoplasmic reticulum was detected. The oxidation of palmitoyl-CoA in peroxisomes and the activities of carnitine-acyltransferases are increased to a great extent in both mitochondria and peroxisomes. Intact respiratory control and oxidative phosphorylation indicated that mitochondrial integrity was maintained during the induction. In microsomes, cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase are elevated. The increased incorporation of glycerol into phospholipids indicated an increased rate of synthesis. The induction of peroxisomal and mitochondrial membranes and enzymes, but not of the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum, by phthalate esters is an unusual and valuable induction pattern not seen with other inducers. 相似文献

Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate and trisodium nitrilotriacetate monohydrate, two apparently nongenotoxic carcinogens, were tested for effects on gap-junctional communication between Chinese hamster V79 lung fibroblasts. Both compounds inhibited gap-junctional communication in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibiting effects of these chemicals on gap-junctional communication in vitro correlate with their tumor-promoting activity. Such results further support the hypothesis that inhibition of gap-junctional communication is an in vitro biomarker for some tumor-promoting chemicals.Abbreviations CAS

ASDs (autism spectrum disorders) are a complex group of neurodevelopment disorders, still poorly understood, steadily rising in frequency and treatment refractory. Extensive research has been so far unable to explain the aetiology of this condition, whereas a growing body of evidence suggests the involvement of environmental factors. Phthalates, given their extensive use and their persistence, are ubiquitous environmental contaminants. They are EDs (endocrine disruptors) suspected to interfere with neurodevelopment. Therefore they represent interesting candidate risk factors for ASD pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of the primary and secondary metabolites of DEHP [di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate] in children with ASD. A total of 48 children with ASD (male: 36, female: 12; mean age: 11±5 years) and age- and sex-comparable 45 HCs (healthy controls; male: 25, female: 20; mean age: 12±5 years) were enrolled. A diagnostic methodology, based on the determination of urinary concentrations of DEHP metabolites by HPLC-ESI-MS (HPLC electrospray ionization MS), was applied to urine spot samples. MEHP [mono-(2-ethylhexenyl) 1,2-benzenedicarboxylate], 6-OH-MEHP [mono-(2-ethyl-6-hydroxyhexyl) 1,2-benzenedicarboxylate], 5-OH-MEHP [mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) 1,2-benzenedicarboxylate] and 5-oxo-MEHP [mono-(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) 1,2-benzenedicarboxylate] were measured and compared with unequivocally characterized, pure synthetic compounds (>98%) taken as standard. In ASD patients, significant increase in 5-OH-MEHP (52.1%, median 0.18) and 5-oxo-MEHP (46.0%, median 0.096) urinary concentrations were detected, with a significant positive correlation between 5-OH-MEHP and 5-oxo-MEHP (rs = 0.668, P<0.0001). The fully oxidized form 5-oxo-MEHP showed 91.1% specificity in identifying patients with ASDs. Our findings demonstrate for the first time an association between phthalates exposure and ASDs, thus suggesting a previously unrecognized role for these ubiquitous environmental contaminants in the pathogenesis of autism. 相似文献

The role of phagocytosis in eliminating apoptotic spermatogenic cells caused by mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) was studied. Twenty-one-day-old C57Bl/6N male mice were given a single dose of 800 mg/kg MEHP in corn oil by oral gavage and sacrificed at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 days after initial exposure. At the same time, the role of phagocytosis in MEHP related apoptosis was examined using microinjection of annexin V into the seminiferous tubules of living mice. Results showed that mice treated with MEHP had a lower rate of testis weight gain (lower regression line) and a significant TUNEL-positive spermatogenic cell number compared to control. However, this incident was reversible, and the number of TUNEL-positive cells returned to normal after 9 days. Mice microinjected with annexin V and later treated with MEHP showed a large amount of TUNEL-positive cells compared to mice treated with MEHP only. This clearly proves that phagocytosis plays an efficient and highly important role in eliminating dead cells in the injured testis of mice treated with MEHP. 相似文献

The photo-Fenton coupled with a biological system for the removal of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in wastewater was analyzed. The toxicity of DEHP-containing wastewater was found to be reduced after pretreatment by the photo-Fenton reaction. The effect of different factors, such as DEHP, Fe3+ and H2O2 concentrations and the reaction time, on degradation efficiency was investigated. The optimal time to stop the pretreatment process and introduce the effluent to the biological system was 60 min. The results show that effluent of DEHP-containing wastewater pretreated by the photo-Fenton method is biodegradable and that mineralization can be completed when the wastewater is subsequently treated in a biological system. The coupled Fenton and biological treatment system for the degradation of DEHP-containing wastewater can be successfully performed in a semi-continuous mode. These results indicate that the coupled photo-biological system is an effective and potential method for the treatment of DEHP-containing wastewater. 相似文献

Background and Aims
Variability in embryo development can influence the rate of seed maturation and seed size, which may have an impact on offspring fitness. While it is expected that embryo development will be under maternal control, more controversial hypotheses suggest that the pollen donor and the embryo itself may influence development. These latter possibilities are, however, poorly studied. Characteristics of 10-d-old embryos and seeds of wild radish (Raphanus sativus) were examined to address: (a) the effects of maternal plant and pollen donor on development; (b) the effects of earlier reproductive events (pollen tube growth and fertilization) on embryos and seeds, and the influence of embryo size on mature seed mass; (c) the effect of water stress on embryos and seeds; (d) the effect of stress on correlations of embryo and seed characteristics with earlier and later reproductive events and stages; and (e) changes in maternal and paternal effects on embryo and seed characteristics during development.Methods
Eight maternal plants (two each from four families) and four pollen donors were crossed and developing gynoecia were collected at 10 d post-pollination. Half of the maternal plants experienced water stress. Characteristics of embryos and seeds were summarized and also compared with earlier and later developmental stages.Key Results
In addition to the expected effects of the maternal plants, all embryo characters differed among pollen donors. Paternal effects varied over time, suggesting that there are windows of opportunity for pollen donors to influence embryo development. Water-stress treatment altered embryo characteristics; embryos were smaller and less developed. In addition, correlations of embryo characteristics with earlier and later stages changed dramatically with water stress.Conclusions
The expected maternal effects on embryo development were observed, but there was also evidence for an early paternal role. The relative effects of these controls may change over time. Thus, there may be times in development when selection on the maternal, paternal or embryo contributions to development are more and less likely. 相似文献18.
We have recently shown that MEHP induces spermatogenic cell apoptosis in guinea pigs at prepubertal stage in vitro. To evaluate the effects of MEHP on the testicular tissues of guinea pigs in vivo, we conducted this research work. Five weeks old male guinea pigs were used in this experiment. They received a single oral dose of 2000 mg/ml of MEHP in corn oil by gavage at a volume equal to 4 ml/kg. Control group received a similar volume of corn oil vehicle. Vehicle- and MEHP-treated guinea pigs were sacrificed at the interval of 3, 6, and 9 h, and the testicular tissues were processed for histopathological studies. Distinct histopathological changes were recognized in testes. Detachment and displacement of spermatogenic cells, thin seminiferous epithelia, vacuolization of Sertoli cells were prominent at 6 h after MEHP treatment. The lumina of the efferent ductules were frequently occupied with sloughed seminiferous epithelia from 6 to 9 h after MEHP treatment. Apoptotic spermatogenic cells appeared at 3 h in the control group. The incidence of apoptotic spermatogenic cells significantly increased (*p<0.05) from 3 to 9 h, and the maximal increase of apoptotic spermatogenic cells were observed at 9 h after MEHP treatment. Time-dependent increases of apoptotic spermatogenic cells was recognized throughout the experimental period. It may be suggested here that MEHP also induces spermatogenic cell apoptosis in guinea pigs in vivo and guinea pigs may be considered as a useful animal model for sensitivity test of the reproductive toxicity to some phthalate esters at their earlier stage in vivo. 相似文献

Growth of carrot and radish seedlings in nutrient culture was inhibited by pretreatment with three calmodulin inhibitors. There was little selective effect on specific organs, shoots, tap root and fibrous roots over a range of concentrations. Although pretreatment with CaCl2 (0.5 mM) did not affect growth of untreated seedlings, it partially reduced the inhibitory effects of trifluoperazine over the concentration range 0.01–0.05 mM. Trifluoperazine reduced the growth of GA3-treated seedlings but did not overcome the modifying effect of GA3 in favouring shoot/root ratio; ABA exacerbated its inhibitory effect on overall seedling growth and particularly on tap root development.Abbreviations GA3

实验条件下,研究邻苯二甲酸二乙基己酯(DEHP)5个浓度组(0、0.38、1.92、9.60和48.00mg.L-1)长时间胁迫下翡翠贻贝(Perna viridis)内脏团和外套膜中抗氧化酶(SOD和CAT)活性和丙二醛(MDA)含量的变化,以及胁迫解除后这些指标的恢复情况。结果表明:在胁迫过程中,翡翠贻贝内脏团SOD活性表现为先显著升高,随后受抑制而逐渐降低(P<0.05),CAT活性则表现为先被抑制后受诱导,15d后恢复到对照组水平,MDA含量呈显著增加的趋势(P<0.05);外套膜中的SOD活性在胁迫初期在低浓度组被抑制,而在高浓度组则被诱导(P<0.05),4d后SOD活性逐渐恢复到对照组水平,各浓度组MDA含量均出现明显的增加(P<0.05);净化阶段,低浓度组(0.38mg.L-1)内脏团SOD活性和CAT活性逐渐恢复到对照组水平,但MDA含量升高;净化7d后,除高浓度组(48.00mg.L-1)外,其余浓度组外套膜中SOD活性均已经恢复到对照组水平,MDA含量也没有出现明显升高的现象。研究表明,DEHP对翡翠贻贝内脏团和外套膜抗氧化防御系统酶具有明显的影响,DEHP诱导引起2种组织内脂质过氧化损伤,并且短期内这种损伤无法消除。 相似文献
