Bio-oxidation of tripropylene glycol under aerobic conditions

Aerobic biodegradation of tripropylene glycol (PG3) was investigated under the conditions of the OECD screening test 301E and the Continuous Flow Activated Sludge Simulation test (CFAS). A modified two-chamber facility with a denitrification stage was used for the CFAS test. Primary PG3 biodegradation was measured by the HPLC with fluorimetric detection and analyte derivatisation. Metabolites were identified by LC-MS with electrospray ionisation and GC-MS with electron impact ionisation, as well as semiquantitatively determined by the LC-MS technique. PG3 was found to be inherently biodegradable and it exhibits a strong poisonous effect on activated sludge after exceeding the threshold concentration (10 mg l⁻¹). Metabolite accumulation onto the activated sludge is probably responsible for this poisonous effect. Probable biotransformation products of tripropylene glycol under the aerobic conditions include metabolites with a single terminal aldehyde or a ketone group and metabolites with two terminal aldehyde or ketone groups. Their concentration rises at the end of the OECD screening test.     

In-vitro anti-<Emphasis Type="Italic">Vibrio</Emphasis> spp. activity and chemical composition of some Tunisian aromatic plants

The chemical composition of five aromatic plants (Mentha longifolia, M. pulegium, Eugenia caryophyllata, Thymus vulgaris and Rosmarinus officinalis) frequently used in food preparation in Tunisia was analysed by GC-MS. The antimicrobial effect of the essential oils obtained from these plants was tested against Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio fluvialis strains. Thyme oil exhibited a high level of antimicrobial activities against Vibrio spp. strains. The diameter of the zones of growth inhibition for V. parahaemolyticus species was interestingly high (ranging from 14.66 to 28 mm). The MIC and MBC values were interestingly low for thyme oil (MIC 0.078–0.156 mg/ml) and (MBC >0.31–1.25 mg/ml). These results showed that these plants especially thyme and clove, can be to be used for seafood preparation to protect against contamination by Vibrio spp. strains.

Composition and in vitro antimicrobial activity of Populus buds and poplar-type propolis

The antibacterial activity of propolis has been widely investigated. Since reports dealing with antimicrobial activity of the origin of propolis are not available, this study was carried out aiming to analyse the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the methanol extracts of poplar type propolis and Populus (Populus nigra, P. alba, P. tremuloides) buds as its sources against standard strains of a panel of microorganisms by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The concentrations of the “poplar” phenolics were relatively high (4.5%) and some compounds typical for P. nigra such as pinobanksin and 4,3 acetyloxycaffeate were found in the propolis sample by GC-MS. The poplar type propolis and Populus bud exudates were found to inhibit most clinically important microorganisms in a wide spectrum including pathogenic yeasts but not Gram-negative bacteria.     

Identification of metabolic and biomass QTL in Arabidopsis thaliana in a parallel analysis of RIL and IL populations

Plant growth and development are tightly linked to primary metabolism and are subject to natural variation. In order to obtain an insight into the genetic factors controlling biomass and primary metabolism and to determine their relationships, two Arabidopsis thaliana populations [429 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) and 97 introgression lines (IL), derived from accessions Col-0 and C24] were analyzed with respect to biomass and metabolic composition using a mass spectrometry-based metabolic profiling approach. Six and 157 quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified for biomass and metabolic content, respectively. Two biomass QTL coincide with significantly more metabolic QTL (mQTL) than statistically expected, supporting the notion that the metabolic profile and biomass accumulation of a plant are linked. On the same basis, three out the six biomass QTL can be simulated purely on the basis of metabolic composition. QTL based on analysis of the introgression lines were in substantial agreement with the RIL-based results: five of six biomass QTL and 55% of the mQTL found in the RIL population were also found in the IL population at a significance level of P  ≤ 0.05, with >80% agreement on the allele effects. Some of the differences could be attributed to epistatic interactions. Depending on the search conditions, metabolic pathway-derived candidate genes were found for 24–67% of all tested mQTL in the database AraCyc 3.5. This dataset thus provides a comprehensive basis for the detection of functionally relevant variation in known genes with metabolic function and for identification of genes with hitherto unknown roles in the control of metabolism.

Simultaneous measurement of F2-isoprostane, hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid, hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, and hydroxycholesterols from physiological samples

Oxidative stress induced by various oxidants in a random and destructive manner is considered to play an important role in the pathophysiology of a number of human disorders and diseases. It is important to assess the oxidative injury in vivo accurately and inclusively. We have developed an improved method for the measurement of in vivo lipid peroxidation by using a single plasma or liver sample, where total 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2alpha) (t8-iso-PGF(2alpha)), total hydroxyoctadecadienoic acids (tHODEs), total hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (tHETEs), and total 7-hydroxycholesterol (t7-OHCh), as well as their parent molecules linoleic acid (t18:2) and cholesterol (tCh), are determined by LC-MS/MS (for t8-iso-PGF(2alpha), tHODE, and tHETE) and GC-MS (for t7-OHCh, t18:2, and tCh) analyses. The plasma and liver samples from human are reduced with sodium borohydride and saponified by potassium hydroxide after the addition of heavy isotopic standards. After extraction by chloroform/ethyl acetate (CHCl(3)/CH(3)COOC(2)H(5), 4:1), they are analyzed without any further sample processing. We applied this method to hepatitis C virus-infected patients (n=8, plasma and liver), hepatitis B virus-infected patients (n=2, plasma and liver), and controls (virus free, n=8, plasma and liver). It was found that in the plasma of patients and controls, the concentrations of oxidized lipids decreased in the following order: tHODE tHETE t7-OHCh > t8-iso-PGF(2alpha). As expected, the virus clearly increased these concentrations. The ratio of stereoisomers of HODE [(E,E)-HODE/(E,Z)-HODE], which reflects the antioxidant capacity in vivo, can also be determined by this method. A significant decrease in the stereoisomer ratio for the liver of patients was observed, indicating liver dysfunction. t8-iso-PGF(2alpha), tHODE, tHETE, and t7-OHCh are measured satisfactorily and inclusively by the current method from biological fluids and tissues, and they can account for a large portion of oxidized lipids in vivo.
