Two capsulated, exopolysaccharide-producing cyanobacteria, Cyanospira capsulata and Nostoc PCC7936, were tested with regard to their metal removal capability by using copper as model metal. The experiments, carried out with the sole cyanobacterial biomass suspended in distilled water and confined into small dialysis tubings, showed that C. capsulata biomass is characterized by the best efficiency in metal removal, with a qmax (maximum amount of copper removed per biomass unit) of 96 ± 2 mg Cu(II) removed per g of protein in comparison with the value of 79 ± 3 of Nostoc PCC7936 biomass. The experimental data obtained with both cyanobacterial biomass best fit the Langmuir sorption isotherm. The sorption of copper started from the first minutes of contact with the metal and attained the equilibrium state, when no more copper removal was evident, after 5 and 6 hours, for C. capsulata and Nostoc PCC7936, respectively. The best efficiency in Cu(II) removal was obtained at pH 6.1–6.2, while the presence of Mg2+ or Ca2+ reduced copper removal capability of both species to 60–70% of their qmax. The results showed that the biomass of C. capsulata and Nostoc PCC7936 possesses a high affinity and a high specific uptake for copper, comparable with the best performances shown by other microbial biomass, and suggest the possibility to use the capsulated trichomes of the two cyanobacteria for the bioremoval of heavy metals from polluted water bodies. 相似文献

Melafen stimulating effect on cell growth of cyanobacteria Synechococcus sp. PCC 6301 cultures amounted to 30–45% at 1000 lx illumination. The melafen effect decreased when cell cultures were exposed
at the illumination of the saturation range (4000 lx). Growth rate and biomass increase of Anabaena variabilis, as well as the observed melafen stimulating effect, were higher on nitrogen-free medium compared to a nitrogen-containing
one by 20–25%. We conclude that melafen activates photosynthetic processes and, probably, stimulates fixation of the atmospheric
nitrogen in the cells. Opposite to the stimulating effect of melafen, ions of the heavy metal Cd2+ inhibited both biomass increase and the average number of the cells in the cyanobacteria A. variabilis colonies. The melafen added to the medium together with the Cd2+ ions decreased their negative effect. The other heavy metal ions, Cu2+, inhibited the growth of the cyanobacteria Synechococcus sp. PCC 6301 and green microalgae Chlorella vulgaris but had a stimulation effect on carbohydrate excretion by the cell cultures. Again, the melafen decreased the toxic effect
of Cu2+ in this case. We suppose that melafen has an antistress activity at heavy metal ions presence and reduces their toxic effect
on growth of phototrophic microorganisms. 相似文献

Magnetic particles of size 10 nm have been coated with silica to a mean diameter of 40 nm and charged with Cu2+ ions via a multidentate ligand, iminodiacetic acid (IDA), for the immobilization of His-tagged Bacillus stearothermopilus L1 lipase. Microporous (average pore diameter of 60 Å) silica gel with a mean particle diameter of 115 µm has been used as a comparative support material. The molar ratio of Cu2+ to IDA was found to be 1:1.14 and 1:1.99 in the silica gel and the silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (SiMNs), respectively. The specific activity of the immobilized enzyme was found to conform to the following order: Cu2+-charged SiMN>SiMN>Cu2+-charged silica gel>silica gel. When it was immobilized on the Cu2+-charged SiMNs, over 70% of the initial activity of the lipase remained after it had been reused five times. However, only 20% of the initial activity remained after the enzyme immobilized on the Cu2+-charged silica gel had been reused five times. For the enzyme immobilized on supports without Cu2+ cations, all activity was lost after threefold reuse. The differences in the specific activities and the efficiencies of reuse of the enzymes immobilized on the various support materials are discussed in terms of immobilization mechanisms (physical adsorption vs. coordination bonding), mass transfer of a substrate and a product of the enzyme reaction, and the status of the Cu (Cu bound to the IDA on the silica layer vs. Cu directly adsorbed on the silica layer). 相似文献

New Zealand ephemeral wetlands are ecologically important, containing up to 12% of threatened native plant species and frequently exhibiting conspicuous cyanobacterial growth. In such environments, cyanobacteria and associated heterotrophs can influence primary production and nutrient cycling. Wetland communities, including bacteria, can be altered by increased nitrate and phosphate due to agricultural practices. We have characterized cyanobacteria from the Wairepo Kettleholes Conservation Area and their associated bacteria. Use of 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing identified several operational taxonomic units (OTUs) representing filamentous heterocystous and non‐heterocystous cyanobacterial taxa. One Nostoc OTU that formed macroscopic colonies dominated the cyanobacterial community. A diverse bacterial community was associated with the Nostoc colonies, including a core microbiome of 39 OTUs. Identity of the core microbiome associated with macroscopic Nostoc colonies was not changed by the addition of nutrients. One OTU was highly represented in all Nostoc colonies (27.6%–42.6% of reads) and phylogenetic analyses identified this OTU as belonging to the genus Sphingomonas. Scanning electron microscopy showed the absence of heterotrophic bacteria within the Nostoc colony but revealed a diverse community associated with the colonies on the external surface. 相似文献

Possible roles of cell wall and cytoplasmic peptides in the tolerance of cells to Cu2+ and Cd2+ ions were studied in suspension-cultured cells of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Palace). Cu2+ and Cd2+ ions inhibited growth of wild type cells at concentrations more than 100 and 200 μM, respectively. Tomato cells readily developed
tolerance to Cd2+ ions up to 1 mM but not to Cu2+ ions, after repeated subculturings in the presence of the respective ions. Such a metal-specific adaptation of cells was
not due to the difference in the total uptakes between Cd2+ and Cu2+ ions by cells. Wild-type cells accumulated Cd2+ preferentially into the cytoplasmic peptide fraction and Cu2+ into the cell-wall fraction, when grown under the subtoxic metal conditions. Under excess metal conditions, Cd-tolerant cells
produced greater amounts of Cd-binding peptides in the cytoplasm and retained lesser amounts of Cd2+ ions in the cell wall than did wild-type cells. In contrast, tomato cells grown in the presence of Cu2+ ions synthesized no detectable amounts of Cu-binding peptides in the cytoplasm and retained most of the Cu2+ in the cell-wall fraction, irrespective of cell lines.
These results suggested that the cytoplasmic peptides rather than cell wall properties have a primary role in the response
of tomato cells to excess metal environments. 相似文献

重金属铜、锌、镉复合胁迫对麻疯树幼苗生理生化的影响 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
该研究以Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)、Cd~(2+)单一胁迫为对照,探讨不同浓度的Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)、Cd~(2+)复合胁迫对麻疯树幼苗生理生化指标的影响。结果表明:随着Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)、Cd~(2+)浓度的增加,麻疯树幼苗叶片中的蛋白质(Pro)、丙二醛(MDA)含量均逐渐增加,其叶片叶绿素含量随着Zn~(2+)胁迫浓度的增加呈现出先降后升的趋势,在中等浓度(100 mg·L-1)的Zn~(2+)胁迫时含量最低、随着Cu~(2+)胁迫浓度的增加叶绿素含量先升高后降低,在Cu~(2+)浓度为200 mg·L-1时含量最高,达到1 200 mg·g-1FW; Cd~(2+)胁迫对叶绿素含量和根系活力无明显影响。根系活力在Zn~(2+)浓度为100 mg·L~(-1)时最强,随着Cu~(2+)浓度的增加而减弱。低浓度的Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)、Cd~(2+)对过氧化物酶活性和可溶性糖含量都具有促进作用。Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)、Cd~(2+)复合胁迫时对可溶性蛋白、叶绿素和丙二醛含量均无明显影响,随着复合胁迫时浓度的增加,可溶性糖含量和根系活力先增后减。这表明麻疯树对三种重金属的胁迫具有一定的抗性,过高浓度的胁迫会影响麻疯树幼苗生理生化的一些指标,但是麻疯树可以通过自身的防御系统使伤害降到最小。此外,重金属复合胁迫可以在一定程度上减轻单一胁迫对麻疯树幼苗造成的毒害作用。 相似文献

This study investigated the characteristics of exudates from mangrove plant Avicennia marina seedling roots under 0, 200 and 600?mM NaCl treatments and their complexation behavior with trace metals using excitation emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectrometry. Two fulvic-like fluorescence peaks, namely peak A (Em = 440?nm, Ex = 250?nm, UV fulvic-like compounds) and peak B (Em = 440?nm, Ex = 340?nm, visible fulvic-like compounds) were identified. The fluorescence intensities of peak A and peak B were enhanced by increasing salinity. Furthermore, the fluorescence of both peaks could be quenched by the ions of copper (Cu2+), manganese (Mn2+) and cadmium (Cd2+). Conditional stability constant (logKa) exhibited that binding capacity of both peak A and peak B with trace metals are Cu2+?>?Mn2+?>?Cd2+ in the range from 2.21 to 4.01. Besides, Hill coefficient (n) >1 for Cu2+ but n?<?1 for Mn2+ and Cd2+. The results of high n and high logKa for Cu2+ rather than Mn2+ and Cd2+ indicate that the fulvic-like compounds in root exudates of A. marina have maximum potential for Cu2+ complexation compared to Mn2+ and Cd2+, suggesting the fulvic acids in root exudates of A. marina have strong complexation with Cu2+ rather than Mn2+ and Cd2+. 相似文献

In this study, dried and humid fruiting bodies of Tremella fuciformis and Auricularia polytricha were examined as cost-effective biosorbents in treatment of heavy metals (Cd2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+) in aqueous solution. The humid T. fuciformis showed the highest capacity to adsorb the four metals in the multi-metal solutions. The Pb2+ adsorption rates were 85.5%, 97.8%, 84.8%, and 91.0% by dried T. fuciformis, humid T. fuciformis, dried A. polytricha, and humid A. polytricha, respectively. The adsorption amount of Pb2+ by dried and humid T. fuciformis in Cd2+ + Pb2+, Cu2+ + Pb2+, Pb2+ + Zn2+, Cd2+ + Cu2+ + Pb2+, and Cd2+ + Zn2+ + Pb2+ solutions were not lower than that in Pb2+ solutions. The results suggested that in humid T. fuciformis, Cd2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ promoted the Pb2+ adsorption by the biomass. In the multi-metal solutions of Cd2+ + Cu2+ + Pb2+ + Zn2+, the adsorption amount and rates of the metals by all the test biosorbents were in the order of Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Cd2+. Compared with the pseudo first-order model, the pseudo second-order model described the adsorption kinetics much better,
indicating a two-step biosorption process. The present study confirmed that fruiting bodies of the jelly fungi should be useful
for the treatment of wastewater containing Cd2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+. 相似文献

A metallothionein-like gene, ThMT3, encoding a type 3 metallothionein, was isolated from a Tamarix hispida leaf cDNA library. Expression analysis revealed that mRNA of ThMT3 was upregulated by high salinity as well as by heavy metal ions, and that ThMT3 was predominantly expressed in the leaf. Transgenic yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) expressing ThMT3 showed increased tolerance to Cd2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, and NaCl stress. Transgenic yeast also accumulated more Cd2+, Zn2+, and NaCl, but not Cu2+. Analysis of the expression of four genes (GLR1, GTT2, GSH1, and YCF1) that aid in transporting heavy metal (Cd2+) from the cytoplasm to the vacuole demonstrated that none of these genes were induced under Cd2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, and NaCl stress in ThMT3-transgenic yeast. H2O2 levels in transgenic yeast under such stress conditions were less than half those in control yeast under the same conditions.
Three antioxidant genes (SOD1, CAT1, and GPX1) were specifically expressed under Cd2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, and NaCl stress in the transgenic yeast. Cd2+, Zn2+, and Cu2+ increased the expression levels of SOD1, CAT1, and GPX1, respectively, whereas NaCl induced the expression of SOD1 and GPX1. 相似文献

Metallothioneins (MTs) are low-molecular-weight proteins with high Cys content and high metal-chelating ability. CdMT and CuMT subfamilies present different characteristics in Tetrahymena. To explore the effect of the cysteine arrangement and sequence length of MTs for binding different metal ions, MTT1, truncated MTT1 (TM1), MTT2, and truncated MTT2 (TM2) were expressed in E. coli. The half-maximal inhibiting concentrations (IC50) of Cd2+ and Cu+ for the recombinant strains were different. Furthermore, E. coli cells expressing MTT1 and TM1 exhibited higher accumulating ability for Cd2+ than cells expressing MTT2 and TM2. However, the opposite is true for Cu+. The binding ability of the different recombinant proteins to Cd2+ and Cu+ were also different. MTT1 and truncated mutant TM1 were the preference for Cd2+, whereas MTT2 and truncated mutant TM2 were the preference for Cu+ coordination. These results showed that metal ion tolerance and accumulation ability not only depended on cysteine arrangement pattern but also on sequence length of MT in Tetrahymena. 相似文献

The plasmalemma vesicles isolated from cucumber and maize roots were used to study the effect of Cu2+ and Cd2+ on the hydrolytic and proton pumping activities of ATPase. In vivo application of metal ions to the plant growth solutions resulted in stimulation of the proton transport in maize. In cucumber
roots the action of metals was not the same: cadmium stimulated the H+ transport through plasmalemma whereas Cu2+ almost completely inhibited it. Copper ions decreased the hydrolytic activity of H+-ATPase in cucumber, without any effect on this activity in membranes isolated from maize roots. The effect of cadmium on
the hydrolytic activities was opposite: ATP-hydrolysis activity in plasmalemma was not altered in cucumber, whereas in maize
its stimulation was observed. The amount of accumulated metals was not the main reason of different influence of metals on
H+-ATPase activity in tested plants. In in vitro experiments Cu2+ inhibited H+ transport in the cucumber, to a higher degree than Cd2+ and both metals did not change this H+-ATPase activity of plasmalemma isolated from corn roots. Cu2+ added into the incubation medium reduced the hydrolytic activity of ATPase in the plasma membrane isolated from cucumber
as well as from corn roots. Cd2+ diminished the hydrolytic activity of ATPase in cucumber, and no effect of Cd2+ in the plasmalemma isolated from corn roots was found. Our results indicated different in vitro and in vivo action of both metals on H+-ATPase and different response of this enzyme to Cu2+ and Cd2+ in maize and cucumber. 相似文献

Biochemical responses to cadmium (Cd2+) and copper (Cu2+) exposure were compared in two strains of the aquatic hyphomycete (AQH) Heliscus lugdunensis. One strain (H4-2-4) had been isolated from a heavy metal polluted site, the other (H8-2-1) from a moderately polluted habitat.
Conidia of the two strains differed in shape and size. Intracellular accumulation of Cd2+ and Cu2+ was lower in H4-2-4 than in H8-2-1. Both␣strains synthesized significantly more glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys) and γ-glutamylcysteine
(γ-EC) in the presence of 25 and 50 μM Cd2+, but quantities and rates of synthesis were different. In H4-2-4, exposure to 50 μM Cd2+ increased GSH levels to 262% of the control; in H8-2-1 it increased to 156%. Mycelia of the two strains were analysed for
peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase, glutathione reductase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. With Cd2+ exposure, peroxidase activity increased in both strains. Cu2+ stress increased dehydroascorbate reductase activity in H4-2-4 but not in H8-2-1. Dehydroascorbate reductase and glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase activities progressively declined in the presence of Cd2+, indicating a correlation with Cd2+ accumulation in both strains. Cd2+ and Cu2+ exposure decreased glutathione reductase activity. 相似文献

Desmonostoc salinum CCM-UFV059 (Desmonostoc) is a novel cyanobacterial strain of the order Nostocales isolated from a saline-alkaline lake. The acclimation towards salt and desiccation stress of Desmonostoc was compared to the related and well-characterized model strain Nostoc sp. PCC7120 (Nostoc). Salt–stressed cells of Desmonostoc maintained low cellular Na+ concentrations and accumulated high amounts of compatible solutes, mainly sucrose and to a lower extent trehalose. These features permitted Desmonostoc to grow and maintain photosynthesis at 2-fold higher salinities than Nostoc. Moreover, Desmonostoc also induced sucrose over-accumulation under desiccation, which allowed this strain to recover from this stress in contrast to Nostoc. Additional mechanisms such as the presence of highly unsaturated lipids in the membrane and an efficient ion transport system could also explain, at least partially, how Desmonostoc is able to acclimate to high salinities and to resist longer desiccation periods. Collectively, our results provide first insights into the physiological and metabolic adaptations explaining the remarkable high salt and desiccation tolerance, which qualify Desmonostoc as an attractive model for further analysis of stress acclimation among heterocystous N2–fixing cyanobacteria. 相似文献

Comparison of DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms of Nostoc strains in and from cycads 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

DNA was prepared from cyanobacteria freshly isolated from coralloid roots of natural populations of five cycad species: Ceratozamia mexicana mexicana (Mexico), C. mexicana robusta (Mexico), Dioon spinulosum (Mexico), Zamia furfuraceae (Mexico) and Z. skinneri (Costa Rica). Using the Southern blot technique and cloned Anabaena PCC 7120 nifK and glnA genes as probes, restriction fragment length polymorphisms of these cyanobacterial symbionts were compared. The five cyanobacterial preparations showed differences in the sizes of their DNA fragments hybridizing with both probes, indicating that different cyanobacterial species and/or strains were in the symbiotic associations. On the other hand, a similar comparison of cyanobacteria freshly collected from a single Encephalartos altensteinii coralloid root and from three independently subcultured isolates from the same coralloid root revealed that these were likely to be one and the same organism. Moreover, the complexity of restriction patterns shows that a mixture of Nostoc strains can associate with a single cycad species although a single cyanobacterial strain can predominate in the root of a single cycad plant. Thus, a wide range of Nostoc strains appear to associate with the coralloid roots of cycads.Non-standard abbreviations bp

Microbialites are mineral formations formed by microbial communities that are often dominated by cyanobacteria. Carbonate microbialites, known from Proterozoic times through the present, are recognized for sequestering globally significant amounts of inorganic carbon. Recent ecological work has focused on microbial communities dominated by cyanobacteria that produce microbial mats and laminate microbialites (stromatolites). However, the taxonomic composition and functions of microbial communities that generate distinctive clotted microbialites (thrombolites) are less well understood. Here, microscopy and deep shotgun sequencing were used to characterize the microbiome (microbial taxa and their genomes) associated with a single cyanobacterial host linked by 16S sequences to Nostoc commune Vaucher ex Bornet & Flahault, which dominates abundant littoral clotted microbialites in shallow, subpolar, freshwater Laguna Larga in southern Chile. Microscopy and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy suggested the hypothesis that adherent hollow carbonate spheres typical of the clotted microbialite begin development on the rigid curved outer surfaces of the Nostoc balls. A surface biofilm included >50 nonoxygenic bacterial genera (taxa other than Nostoc) that indicate diverse ecological functions. The Laguna Larga Nostoc microbiome included the sulfate reducers Desulfomicrobium and Sulfospirillum and genes encoding all known proteins specific to sulfate reduction, a process known to facilitate carbonate deposition by increasing pH. Sequences indicating presence of nostocalean and other types of nifH, nostocalean sulfide:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (indicating anoxygenic photosynthesis), and biosynthetic pathways for the secondary products scytonemin, mycosporine, and microviridin toxin were identified. These results allow comparisons with microbiota and microbiomes of other algae and illuminate biogeochemical roles of ancient microbialites. 相似文献

Heavy metal contamination is a serious environmental problem. Understanding the toxicity mechanisms may allow to lower concentration of metals in the metal-based antimicrobial treatments of crops, and reduce metal content in soil and groundwater. Here, we investigate the interplay between metal efflux systems and the superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the purple bacterium Rubrivivax gelatinosus and other bacteria through analysis of the impact of metal accumulation. Exposure of the Cd2+-efflux mutant ΔcadA to Cd2+ caused an increase in the amount and activity of the cytosolic Fe-Sod SodB, thereby suggesting a role of SodB in the protection against Cd2+. In support of this conclusion, inactivation of sodB gene in the ΔcadA cells alleviated detoxification of superoxide and enhanced Cd2+ toxicity. Similar findings were described in the Cu+-efflux mutant with Cu+. Induction of the Mn-Sod or Fe-Sod in response to metals in other bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida, Vibrio cholera and Bacillus subtilis, was also shown. Both excess Cd2+ or Cu+ and superoxide can damage [4Fe-4S] clusters. The additive effect of metal and superoxide on the [4Fe-4S] could therefore explain the hypersensitive phenotype in mutants lacking SOD and the efflux ATPase. These findings underscore that ROS defence system becomes decisive for bacterial survival under metal excess. 相似文献

We have studied the effects of heavy metals (Hg2+, Cu2+, Cd2+) on growth hormone (GH) activation of tyrosine kinase and Ca2+ signaling in the trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) hepatoma cell line RTH-149. Molecular cloning techniques using primer designed on Oncorhynchus spp. growth hormone receptor (GHR) genes allowed to isolate a highly homologous cDNA fragment from RTH-149 mRNA. Thereafter, cells were analysed by Western blotting or, alternatively, with Ca2+ imaging using fura-2/AM. Exposure of cells to ovine GH alone produced a stimulation of the JAK2/STAT5 pathway and intracellular free Ca2+ variations similar to what has been observed in mammalian models. Cell pre-exposure to Cu2+, Hg2+ or Cd2+ affected cell response to GH by enhancing (Cu2+) or inhibiting (Cd2+) the phosphorylation of JAK2 and STAT5. Heavy metals induced the activation of the MAP kinase p38, and pre-exposure to Hg2+ or Cu2+ followed by GH enhanced the effect of metal alone. Image analysis of fura2-loaded cells indicated that pre-treatment with Hg2+ prior to GH produced a considerable increase of the [Ca2+]i variation produced by either element, while using Cu2+ or Cd2+ the result was similar but much weaker. Data suggest that heavy metals interfere with GH as follows: Hg2+ is nearly ineffective on JAK/STAT and strongly synergistic on Ca2+ signaling; Cu2+ is activatory on JAK/STAT and slightly activatory on Ca2+; Cd2+ is strongly inhibitory on JAK/STAT and slightly activatory on Ca2+; heavy metals could partially activate STAT via p38 independently from GH interaction.Published online: March 2005 相似文献

Prokaryotic enzymes formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg) and endonuclease VIII (Nei) and their eukaryotic homologs NEIL1,
NEIL2, and NEIL3 define the Fpg family of DNA glycosylases, which initiate the process of repair of oxidized DNA bases. The
repair of oxidative DNA lesions is known to be impaired in vivo in the presence of ions of some heavy metals. We have studied the effect of salts of several alkaline earth and transition
metals on the activity of Fpg-family DNA glycosylases in the reaction of excision of 5,6-dihydrouracil, a typical DNA oxidation
product. The reaction catalyzed by NEIL1 was characterized by values K
m = 150 nM and k
cat = 1.2 min−1, which were in the range of these constants for excision of other damaged bases by this enzyme. NEIL1 was inhibited by Al3+, Ni2+, Co2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Fe2+ in Tris-HCl buffer and by Cd2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, and Fe2+ in potassium phosphate buffer. Fpg and Nei, the prokaryotic homologs of NEIL1, were inhibited by the same metal ions as NEIL1.
The values of I50 for NEIL1 inhibition were 7 μM for Cd2+, 16 μM for Zn2+, and 400 μM for Cu2+. The inhibition of NEIL1 by Cd2+, Zn2+, and Cu2+ was at least partly due to the formation of metal-DNA complexes. In the case of Cd2+ and Cu2+, which preferentially bind to DNA bases rather than phosphates, the presence of metal ions caused the enzyme to lose the
ability for preferential binding to damaged DNA. Therefore, the inhibition of NEIL1 activity in removal of oxidative lesions
by heavy metal ions may be a reason for their comutagenicity under oxidative stress. 相似文献
