Isolation of dieldrin- and endrin-degrading bacteria using 1,2-epoxycyclohexane as a structural analog of both compounds 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
This report describes the selective isolation of dieldrin- and endrin-degrading bacteria from soil with high degradation activity
toward dieldrin and endrin. Several enrichment cultures from the soil were arranged with several structural analogs of dieldrin
and endrin as a growth substrate and examined for their degradation activities toward dieldrin and endrin. An enrichment culture
with 1,2-epoxycyclohexane (ECH) was found to aerobically degrade dieldrin and endrin. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis
(DGGE) indicated that three types of bacteria were predominant in the ECH enrichment culture. Of the three major bacteria,
two isolates, Burkholderia sp. strain MED-7 and Cupriavidus sp. strain MED-5, showed high degradation activity toward dieldrin and endrin. The degradation efficiencies of strain MED-7
and MED-5 were 49% and 38% toward dieldrin, respectively, and 51% and 40% toward endrin, respectively, in the presence of
ECH for 14 days. These results indicated that ECH was a useful substrate for selective and efficient isolation of dieldrin-
and endrin-degrading bacteria from soil containing numerous bacteria. Interestingly, the two isolates could also degrade dieldrin
and endrin even in the absence of ECH. These are the first microorganisms demonstrated to grow on dieldrin and endrin as the
sole carbon and energy source under aerobic conditions. 相似文献

The process of an outbreak of the citrus flat-headed borer, Agrilus auriventris in Nagasaki Prefecture was described with some ecological considerations on causative factors. This outbreak which showed a typical “Gradation”, initiated around 1958, and terminated in 1963. The peak year was seen in 1961. At first attack by the borer was restricted to old and weak trees, but it was also found in young and healthy trees in the peak year. Some environmental conditions in orchards were examined in relation to the intensity of infestation by the borer. Soil management and drought seemed to have remarkable correlations with the borer's infestations. Probably, this outbreak was caused by the weakening of citrus tree by gummosis and abnormal defoliation, aging of orchard trees, and drought in the summer of 1959∼1960. Interrelation between these causes and processes are shown schematically in Fig. 12. 相似文献

Dieldrin and endrin are persistent organic pollutants that cause serious environmental problems. Although these compounds
have been prohibited over the past decades in most countries around the world, they are still routinely found in the environment,
especially in the soil in agricultural fields. Bioremediation, including phytoremediation and rhizoremediation, is expected
to be a useful cleanup method for this soil contamination. This review provides an overview of the environmental contamination
by dieldrin and endrin, along with a summary of our current understanding and recent advances in bioremediation and phytoremediation
of these pollutants. In particular, this review focuses on the types and abilities of plants and microorganisms available
for accumulating and degrading dieldrin and endrin. 相似文献

The distribution of iron and calcium in hepatic subcellular fractions of female rats treated with endrin (1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 10-hexachloro-6, 7-epoxy-1, 4, 4α, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8α-octahydroendo, endo-1, 4:5, 8-dimethanonaphthalene) was determined. Endrin in corn oil was administered orally to rats in single doses of 3, 4.5, or 6 mg/kg, and the animals were killed at 0, 12, 24, 48, or 72 hr posttreatment. Iron and calcium were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The administration of endrin increased the iron content of mitochondria and decreased the iron content of microsomes and nuclei. Significant increases occurred in the calcium content of mitochondria, microsomes, and nuclei. Thus, the results indicate that with respect to the subcellular distribution of iron and calcium, endrin produces differential effects. Vitamin E succinate administration partially prevented the endrin-induced hepatic alterations in iron and calcium homeostasis. Endrin also produced dose- and time-dependent increases in the liver and spleen weight/body weight ratios, while decreasing the thymus weight/body weight ratios. The altered distribution of calcium and iron may contribute to the broad range of effects of endrin. 相似文献

Endrin, a poly-halogenated cyclic hydrocarbon, induces hepatic lipid peroxidation, modulates calcium homeostasis, decreases membrane fluidity, and increases nuclear DNA damage. Little information is available on the neurotoxicity of endrin. The effects of endrin on lipid peroxidation, DNA damage, and regional distribution of catalase activity were assessed in rat brain and liver 24 h following an acute oral dose of 4.5 mg endrin/kg. Lipid peroxidation associated with whole brain mitochondria increased 2.4-fold, whereas microsomal lipid peroxidation increased 2.8-fold following endrin administration. Lipid peroxidation also increased 2.0-fold both in hepatic mitochondria and microsomes. Catalase activity decreased 24% in the hypothalamus, 23% in the cortex, 38% in the cerebellum, and 11% in the brain stem in response to endrin. A 4.3-fold increase in brain nuclear DNA-single strand breaks (SSB) was observed in endrin-treated rats. Pretreatment of rats intraperitoneally with the lazaroid U74389F (16-desmethyl tirilazad) (10 mg/kg in two doses) attenuated the biochemical consequences of endrin-induced oxidative stress. The administration of U74389F in citrate buffer (pH 3.8) provided better protection than administering the lazaroid in corn oil, decreasing endrin-induced lipid peroxidation by 50–80% and DNA-SSB by approximately 72% in liver and 85% in brain, while ameliorating the suppressed catalase activity. The data suggest an involvement of an oxidative stress in the neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity induced by endrin, which can be attenuated by the lazaroid U74389F. 相似文献
