Volatile organic compounds produced by Lysinibacillus sp. FJAT-4748 possess antifungal activity against Colletotrichum acutatum

FJAT-4748 is a bacterial strain isolated from forest soil samples taken from Dongba Valley, Lijiang, Kunming, Yunnan Province, PR China. This strain was identified as Lysinibacillus sp. based on a 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. FJAT-4748 has been shown to possess antifungal activity against different fungi, including Colletotrichum acutatum, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium solani, Fusarium moniliforme and Fusarium oxysporum. The results of the present study indicate that this antifungal activity results from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by this strain. The observed inhibition rates of VOCs from FJAT-4748 against these fungi were 100%, 100%, 37.20%, 18.94% and 7.64%, respectively. GC-MS analysis identified 24 VOCs from FJAT-4748, which included different categories of compounds, such as aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbons and alkanes. Of these 24 VOCs, the most abundant compound was 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, which constituted 36.24% of the total VOCs based on the relative peak area. In the in vitro C. acutatum mycelial growth assay, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol exhibited the strongest activity, with an inhibitory rate of 100% using 10?µL/plate of this VOC. The activity of benzaldehyde was lower. 2-decanone showed the weakest activity among the compounds tested. The inhibitory activity of an artificial mixture of three VOCs against the C. acutatum increased with the amount of artificial mixture used. The inhibition rate reached 100% using 30?µL/plate of this artificial mixture in the plate test. Taken together, these results show that the antifungal VOCs produced by Lysinibacillus sp. FJAT-4748 are potentially useful as agents for controlling anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum acutatum.     

Ecological functions of volatile organic compounds in aquatic systems

In terrestrial ecosystems, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are widely acknowledged as an important group of infochemicals. They play a major role in pollinator attraction by terrestrial plants and as insect pheromones. Furthermore, they are the mediating agent of so-called 'tritrophic interactions'. When plants are attacked by herbivorous insects, volatile signal substances are emitted, which act as attractants for parasitoids that kill the herbivores, thereby protecting the plant from herbivory. Despite the generally acknowledged importance of VOCs in terrestrial chemical ecology, their functions in aquatic food webs are largely unknown. VOCs produced by algae and cyanobacteria are a major concern in water processing, since aquatic primary producers are the reason for regularly encountered taste and odour problems in drinking water. Only very recently, research in aquatic chemical ecology has started to investigate possible ecological functions for the production of VOCs by algae and cyanobacteria. Volatile aldehydes released by wounded cells of marine planktonic diatoms seem to act as defensive compounds against herbivorous copepods on the population level. Just recently, it was found that VOCs released from benthic algae and cyanobacteria can be utilised as food and/or habitat finding cues by aquatic invertebrates such as freshwater gastropods and nematodes. Here, I review concepts and recent experimental studies on the ecological functions of such VOCs in aquatic ecosystems. Understanding the factors that lead to the liberation of volatile compounds is an essential prerequisite to properly assessing their ecological functions. It appears that (similar to terrestrial plant-herbivore interactions) VOCs can also play a steering role for both attraction and defence in aquatic ecosystems.     

Comparison of volatile organic compounds from uninfested and Monochamus alternatus Hope infested Pinus massoniana Lamb.

Monochamus alternatus is a destructive stem‐boring herbivore of Pinus massoniana, and the principal vector of pine wood nematode. To investigate the impacts of boring by M. alternatus larvae on the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from their host trees, the VOCs from uninfested and M. alternatus larvae infested P. massoniana trees were observed using a gas chromatograph–mass spectrometer. We detected 12, 9, 18 and 14 volatile organic compounds from infested xylem, infested phloem, uninfested xylem and uninfested phloem, respectively. In P. massoniana xylem, the boring of M. alternatus larvae induced cyclosativene, and inhibited 4‐carene, humulene, styrene, α‐phellandrene, β‐myrcene, β‐phellandrene and γ‐terpinene. The relative amounts of camphene, copacamphene, longicyclene, longifolene, tricyclene and α‐longipinene were significantly increased, and the relative amounts of α‐pinene and β‐pinene were significantly decreased by the boring behaviors of M. alternatus larvae. In P. massoniana phloem, the boring of M. alternatus larvae induced 2‐bornanone, copacamphene, longicyclene and α‐longipinene, and inhibited 2‐carene, 4‐carene, styrene, α‐phellandrene, β‐myrcene, β‐phellandrene, β‐pinene, γ‐terpinene and ο‐cymene. The relative amounts of camphene, caryophyllene and longifolene were significantly increased by the boring behaviors of M. alternatus larvae. The results indicate that the boring behaviors of M. alternatus larvae changed both the sorts and contents of the VOCs from P. massoniana trees.     

Health risk assessment of volatile organic compounds in urban areas

The atmosphere is the first medium containing hazardous compounds entering the living environment. Metropolitan areas contain many industrial complex areas with high emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and consequently also large-scale exposure groups. As respiration is the most important part of the human exposure pathway, the atmosphere should be treated with greater importance than other media. It is therefore very important to monitor the emission of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and measure the concentration of VOCs in the atmosphere of such areas. It is essential to establish basic measures in order to protect public health as part of overall national safety management. This study utilized the national air pollution monitoring network data from Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi, and investigated the differences in risk levels for humans considering various factors of the receptors, including gender and age. A total of 13 VOCs were categorized into carcinogens and noncarcinogens for risk assessment. The carcinogens 1,3-butadiene and benzene demonstrated a high level of cancer risk, ranging between 10^?4 and 10^?6, respectively. Noncarcinogens did not exceed Hazard Quotient (HQ) 1 in any area. The results will serve as important references for managing urban air environments and setting air quality standards.     

Production of volatile organic compounds by an antagonistic strain Paenibacillus polymyxa WR-2 in the presence of root exudates and organic fertilizer and their antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum

The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by antagonistic microbes have great antifungal potential against soil-borne fungal pathogens. The VOCs produced by Paenibacillus polymyxa strain WR-2 in the presence of root exudates and organic fertilizer were identified and their effects on the growth and spore germination of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum were evaluated. The VOCs produced by WR-2 inhibited the growth of F. oxysporum by 38%, 36% and 40% in agar medium, sterilized soil and natural soil, respectively. This inhibitory effect was increased to 60%, 58% and 64% with the addition of organic fertilizer in agar medium, sterilized soil and natural soil, respectively. The addition of root exudates did not affect the production of antifungal VOCs by WR-2. The VOCs produced by WR-2 completely inhibited the germination of F. oxysporum spores. Out of 42 identified VOCs, seven VOCs; benzothiazole, benzaldehyde, undecanal, dodecanal, hexadecanal, 2-tridecanone and phenol were found to inhibit the growth of F. oxysporum. The results of these experiments suggest another significance of using organic fertilizer as a carrier material with the biocontrol agents to control soil-borne fungal pathogens.     

Characterisation of volatile organic compounds in stemwood using solid-phase microextraction

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME), hydrodistillation and dynamic headspace combined with GC and GC-MS were applied and compared for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from coniferous wood. The SPME conditions (type of fibre, size of wood sample, temperature and exposure time) were optimised, and more than 100 VOCs and semi-volatile compounds extracted and identified from the sapwood and heartwood of Norway spruce (Picea abies). The total number of mono- and sesquiterpenes eluted and identified was similar for the SPME and hydrodistillation methods, but more semi-volatile compounds were released by hydrodistillation. By applying dynamic headspace at room temperature, it was possible to analyse only the most volatile compounds. The qualitative composition of VOCs was similar in spruce sapwood and heartwood, although Z-beta-ocimene occurred only in sapwood while fenchol was present only in heartwood. SPME sampling coupled with GC, applied here to the analysis of VOCs released from stemwood of firs for the first time, is a convenient, sensitive, fast, solvent-free and simple method for the determination of wood volatiles. The technique requires much smaller sample amounts compared with hydrodistillation, and the total amount of VOCs extracted and identified is higher than that obtained by hydrodistillation or dynamic headspace. The relative ratios of the main mono- and sesquiterpenes and -terpenoids were similar using the SPME-GC and hydrodistillation methods.     

冷蒿挥发性有机化合物主要成分分析及其地上部分结构研究

Source analysis and health risk-assessment of ambient volatile organic compounds in automobile manufacturing processes

Abstract

The sources and process-specific emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from an automobile manufacturing plant in Beijing, China were explored and monitored to assess the health risk from VOCs to workers of the automobile manufacturing plant. Eleven VOCs were detected in the air samples collected from the 12 working posts of five workshops of the automobile manufacturing plant using a meteorological chromatographic analytical method. The health risks exposed to VOCs were assessed using the probabilistic risk-assessment method, and the sensitivity and uncertainty analysis were conducted using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The results showed that VOCs mainly originated from the use and volatilization of chemical raw materials. The total carcinogenic risks were large owing to the high concentrations of benzene and ethylbenzene in various processes, suggesting a definite risk. The total non-carcinogenic risk in the paint shop was the highest, and the topcoat post, mixing paint post and basecoat post contributed to more than 70% of the total risk of this workshop. Exposure duration and concentration of VOCs had a greater impact on the health risk. These research findings may provide scientific basis for policy toward improving the health status of workers in automobile manufacturing enterprise in China.     

Treatment of chlorinated volatile organic compounds in upflow wetland mesocosms

Sorption, biodegradation and hydraulic parameters were determined in the laboratory for two candidate soil substrate mixtures for construction of an upflow treatment wetland for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at a Superfund site. The major parent contaminants in the groundwater at the Superfund site were cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2-DCE) and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA). The two mixtures; one a mixture of sand and peat, the other a mixture of sand, peat and Bion Soil, a product derived from agricultural wastes; were selected from ten possible mixtures based on the results of hydraulic and geotechnical testing. The sand and peat mixture had an average hydraulic conductivity of 4.95×10⁻⁴ cm/s with a critical flow of 39.5 gpm/acre (368 l/min/ha) without fluidization of the bed. The sand, peat and Bion Soil mixture had an average hydraulic conductivity of 3.02×10⁻⁴ cm/s with a critical flow of 36.8 gpm/acre (344 l/min/ha) without fluidization of the bed. Retardation coefficients ranged from 1 to 7.3 for target VOCs with higher coefficients observed in the mixture containing the Bion Soil. Consistently higher spatial and temporal first-order removal rate constants were observed in the sand, peat and Bion Soil mixture (cis-1,2-DCE, 0.84±0.36/day; 1,1,1-TCA, 6.52±3.12/day) than in the sand and peat mixture (cis-1,2-DCE, 0.37±0.13/day; 1,1,1-TCA, 1.48±0.42/day). Results from anaerobic microcosm studies confirmed that biodegradation was occurring in the columns and that the sand, peat and Bion Soil mixture had higher degradation rate than the sand and peat mixture. Vinyl chloride (VC) was identified as a ‘design’ contaminant since it is a proven carcinogen and had the lowest removal rate constant for both substrate mixtures. Effective wetland bed depths for VC removal of 900 and 210 cm will be required for peat and sand alone and sand, peat and Bion Soil mixtures, respectively.
