An Immunochromatographic Assay of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid and Simazine Using Monoclonal Antibodies Labeled with Colloidal Gold

A method of the competitive immunochromatographic assay of the pesticides 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) and simazine (2-chloro-4,6-bis(N-ethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine) in aqueous samples was developed. Monoclonal antibodies to these pesticides labeled with colloidal gold were used to visualize the results. The sensitivity of the 2,4-D and simazine assay is 12 ng/ml, and the time of analysis is 3–7 min. The method does not differ in sensitivity from the competitive EIA using conjugates of monoclonal antibodies to the pesticides with horseradish peroxidase; however, the time of the EIA is 1.5 h. The immunochromatographic method of the pesticide detection is available and simple and may be recommended for the development of assays of any other low-molecular compounds.

Gold immunochromatographic assay for simultaneous detection of carbofuran and triazophos in water samples

Using a simple test for rapid identification and quantification of pesticide multiresidues in food and environmental samples is a long-cherished approach for practical monitoring purposes. Here two gold-based lateral-flow strips (strip A and strip B) were investigated for simultaneous detection of carbofuran and triazophos. For the strip A format, a bispecific monoclonal antibody (BsMcAb) against both carbofuran and triazophos was employed to prepare the immunogold probe. For the strip B format, anti-carbofuran monoclonal antibody (McAb) and anti-triazophos McAb separately labeled with colloidal gold were combined as detector reagents. By comparison of visual results from pesticide standard tests between the two formats, the strip B assay manifested higher sensitivities for both pesticides. Analysis of spiked water samples by the preferable strip indicated that the detection limits for carbofuran and triazophos were 32 and 4 μg/L, respectively. The strength of the portable one-step strip assay was in the simultaneous screening for two pesticides within a short time (8-10 min) without any equipment.

Habitat loss in the restricted range of the endemic Ghanaian cichlid Limbochromis robertsi

Remote sensing has become an integral and invaluable tool to inform biodiversity conservation and monitoring of habitat degradation and restoration over time. Despite the disproportionately high levels of biodiversity loss in freshwater ecosystems worldwide, ichthyofauna are commonly overlooked in favor of other keystone species. Freshwater fish, as indicators of overall aquatic ecosystem health, can also be indicators of larger scale problems within an ecosystem. As a case study with multi-temporal, multi-resolution satellite imagery, we examined deforestation and forest fragmentation around the Atewa Forest Reserve, Ghana. Within small creeks, Limbochromis robertsi, a unique freshwater cichlid with an extremely limited distribution range, can be found. Historically, the land cover in the area has undergone substantial deforestation for agriculture and artisanal small-scale mining. In the 1389-km² study area, we found deforestation accelerated along with increased forest fragmentation in the 2014–2017 period (167.4 km² of deforestation) with the majority of the forest loss along the river and creek banks due to small-scale mining operations and increased agriculture. Field visits indicated a decrease in the total L. robertsi population by approximately 90% from the early 1990s to 2018. Its distribution has been reduced to higher elevations by anthropogenic habitat barriers at low elevations and the presence of predatory species. Loss of riparian forest through land use and cover change to mining and agriculture contributes to the habitat degradation for this endemic species. Fine spatial- and temporal-scale studies are required to assess habitat characteristics are not captured by global- or continental-scale datasets.     

Intranucleolar visualization of nucleic acids and acidic proteins in inhibited and reactivated pea cotyledonary buds

Summary Nuclease-colloidal gold complexes and silver staining were used to visualize intranucleolar nucleic acids and argyrophilic proteins of the nucleolar organizers in bud cotyledonary cells ofPisum sativum. In the G_0–1 inhibited bud, a few RNA molecules were detected in the fibrillar component and in the unique fibrillar centre, close to the boundary with the fibrillar component of the nucleolus. DNA was present in the fibrillar component, in the fibrillar centre and in a few fibres crossing the perinucleolar halo. The acidic proteins were localized at the periphery of the fibrillar component but they were also present in the unique fibrillar centre. In the reactivated bud, RNA was particularly concentrated in the granular component and along fibres crossing the perinucleolar halo; a few RNA molecules were also detected at the boundary between the small fibrillar centres and the fibrillar component. DNA was localized in the same nucleolar component as in the inhibited bud, but it was distributed between several fibrillar centres. Acidic proteins coated these DNA loci. In the inhibited and reactivated bud connections between nucleolar DNA containing structures were displayed. The data are discussed in relation to the present knowledge of the functional architecture of the nucleolus.Abbreviations DNA deoxyribonucleic acid - DNase deoxyribonuclease - G_0–1 phase G₁ phase of the cell cycle indefinitely prolonged - PEG polyethylene glycol - RNA ribonucleic acid - RNase ribonuclease - S and G₂ phases synthetic and postsynthetic phases of the cell cycle - SPB saline phosphate buffer
