[PMID: 33396110 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.111587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Revised: 10/25/2020] [Accepted: 10/28/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Metalaxyl and Metalaxyl-M are the fungicides that widely used in many countries. In this study, the environmental behaviors between metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M in Tubifex tubifex (T. tubifex) were quantitative analyzed by using a high performance liquid chromatography with photo-diode-array-detector (HPLC-DAD). Results demonstrated that there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in the concentration of metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M in T. tubifex during the exposure process. However, the dissipation behaviors of metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M in T. tubifex were different (p < 0.05) during the non-exposure culture process. Meanwhile, the toxic effects were also evaluated by comparing the different influences of these two compounds on related physiological indicators, and functional enzyme activities. The survival rates of T. tubifex were 63.33 ± 15.28% (20 mg L-1), 63.33 ± 5.77% (200 mg L-1) treated with metalaxyl and were 50.00 ± 10.00% (20 mg L-1), 46.67 ± 11.55 (200 mg L-1) treated with metalaxyl-M at the non-exposure culture process. The autotomy rates were increased significantly compared with the initial in all treatments. Besides, the activities of CAT, SOD, and GST in T. tubifex were also inhibited by metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M treatments. Finally, the high-throughput transcriptome sequencing technology was applied to investigate the metabolic pathways of target analytes in T. tubifex, and results proved that the metabolic pathways associated with human diseases (such as viral myocarditis) were up-regulated expression for metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M treatments, and metalaxyl-M up-regulated more significantly. All the results demonstrated that metalaxyl-M had a higher toxicity than metalaxyl on T. tubifex.

Abstract
Dufulin is a new type of chiral antiplant virus agent independently developed in China. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of different concentrations of rac-dufulin and dufulin enantiomers (1, 5, and 10 mg/L) on oxidative stress in Tubifex after exposure for 3, 7, and 14 d. Results showed that rac-dufulin and individual enantiomers had no significant effects on total protein content and glutathione reductase activities. Increased superoxide dismutase demonstrated the generation of superoxide anion radical. The increase in glutathione S-transferase may be due to detoxification mechanisms. The different changes in catalase activities could be due to oxidative stress. The increase in malondialdehyde may be due to the accumulation and toxicity of contaminations. The degradation behavior of dufulin enantiomers was studied through spiked-water and spiked-soil tests. The degradation rate of S-(+)-dufulin was faster than that of R-(-)-dufulin. The present study demonstrated the occurrence of enantioselectivity in the degradation and oxidative stress of dufulin to Tubifex. In spiked soil, the concentrations of dufulin enantiomers in underlying soil were significantly higher than those in overlying water; but after 5 d of degradation, the bioturbation of Tubifex could facilitate part of dufulin diffusing from the underlying soil into the overlying water and altered the partitioning of dufulin. The present study provided a basis for conducting environmental safety risk assessments and rationally using dufulin as a chiral pesticide. Environ Toxicol Chem 2020;39:2136-2146. © 2020 SETAC.

Sci Rep 2020; 10:18429.

Abstract
Tropical forests are fundamental ecosystems, essential for providing terrestrial primary productivity, global nutrient cycling, and biodiversity. Despite their importance, tropical forests are currently threatened by deforestation and associated activities. Moreover, tropical regions are now mostly represented by secondary forest regrowth, with half of the remaining tropical forests as secondary forest. Soil invertebrates are an important component to the functioning and biodiversity of these soil ecosystems. However, it remains unclear how these past land-use activities and subsequent secondary forest developments have altered the soil invertebrate communities and any potential ecological consequences associated with this. DNA metabarcoding offers an effective approach to rapidly monitor soil invertebrate communities under different land-use practices and within secondary forests. In this study, we used DNA metabarcoding to detect community-based patterns of soil invertebrate composition across a primary forest, a 23-year-old secondary forest, and a 33-year-old secondary forest and the associated soil environmental drivers of the soil invertebrate community structure in the Maquenque National Wildlife Refuge of Costa Rica (MNWR). We also used a species contribution analysis (SIMPER) to determine which soil invertebrate groups may be an indication of these soils reaching a pre-disturbed state such as a primary forest. We found that the soil invertebrate community composition at class, order, family, and ESV level were mostly significantly different across that habitats. We also found that the primary forest had a greater richness of soil invertebrates compared to the 23-year-old and 33-year-old secondary forest. Moreover, a redundancy analysis indicated that soil moisture influenced soil invertebrate community structure and explained up to 22% of the total variation observed in the community composition across the habitats; whereas soil invertebrate richness was structured by soil microbial biomass carbon (C) (Cmic) and explained up to 52% of the invertebrate richness across the primary and secondary forests. Lastly, the SIMPER analysis revealed that Naididae, Entomobryidae, and Elateridae could be important indicators of soil and forest recuperation in the MNWR. This study adds to the increasing evidence that soil invertebrates are intimately linked with the soil microbial biomass carbon (Cmic) and that even after 33 years of natural regrowth of a forest, these land use activities can still have persisting effects on the overall composition and richness of the soil invertebrate communities.

Abstract
Sediments are reservoirs and sources of DDTs to the aquatic ecosystem. However, the role of sediment particulate matter and benthic organisms in transferring DDTs remains unclear. In this study, microcosms were built up with different groups to simulate a freshwater system with DDT-contaminated sediment and organisms. The impacts of different exposure routes (water and sediment) on the changes of DDT and its metabolites (DDD and DDE) in carp (Cyprinus carpio) were investigated. The bioturbation of Tubifex tubifex (Oligochaeta, Tubificidae) was investigated to understand the fate and transfer of DDTs in aquatic environment. For the sediment treatment, the concentrations of o,p'-DDT in carp were significantly higher than those of p,p'-DDT, and the metallothionein (MT) content decreased. The bioaccumulation of DDTs in carp via sediment particulate matter was significantly higher/faster than that via overlying water. T. tubifex and sediment particulate matter accelerate DDT bioaccumulation in carp. Selective enrichment of the (+)-o,p'-DDT and (+)-o,p'-DDD was found in carp. These results help to reduce uncertainty in ecological and health risk assessments and to better understand the risk of DDTs in the environment.

Abstract
Personal care products are widely used in our daily life in considerable quantities and discharged via the down-the-drain route to aquatic environments, resulting in potential risks to aquatic organisms. We investigated bioaccumulation and biotransformation of two widely used personal care products, triclosan (TCS) and galaxolide (HHCB) spiked to sediment, in the oligochaete worm Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri in water/sediment microcosms. After 7 days of sediment exposure to 3.1 μg of TCS or HHCB/g of dry weight sediment, the accumulation of TCS and HHCB in L. hoffmeisteri reached equilibrium, at which point the biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs) were 2.07 and 2.50 for TCS and HHCB, respectively. The presence of L. hoffmeisteri significantly accelerated the dissipation of the levels of TCS and HHCB in the microcosms, with approximately 9.03 and 2.90% of TCS and HHCB, respectively, eliminated from the water/sediment systems after exposure for 14 days in the presence of worms. Two biotransformation products, methyl triclosan and triclosan O-sulfate, were identified for TCS in worm tissue, whereas only methyl triclosan was identified in the sediment. Unlike TCS, no evidence of biotransformation products was found for HHCB in either worm tissue or sediment. These experiments demonstrate that L. hoffmeisteri biotransformed TCS through methylation and sulfation, whereas HHCB biotransformation was undetectable.

Abstract
In this study, the stereoselective bioaccumulation of rac-dufulin, pure S-(+)-dufulin, and pure R-(-)-dufulin in Tubifex (Oligochaeta, Tubificida) were analyzed in spiked-water and spiked-soil systems at low and high dose levels. In the bioaccumulation experiments treated with rac-dufulin, the enantioselective behaviors of the enantiomers show that the concentrations of R-(-)-dufulin are higher than those of S-(+)-dufulin at two dose levels. However, when treated with solely pure S-(+)-dufulin and R-(-)-dufulin, no significant difference of concentrations was detected in Tubifex. Furthermore, the calculated accumulation factors in Tubifex indicated that dufulin (racemic or the pure enantiomers) in the spiked-soil treatments had higher bioaccumulation potential than in the spiked-water treatments. The spiked-soil experiments revealed that the dissipation of dufulin in soil was not enantioselective at the enantiomer levels and Tubifex could reduce the concentrations of dufulin in the underlying solid matrix and accelerate its repair and detoxification process.

Abstract
Microcosms containing DDT spiked-sediment, Tubifex tubifex and carp (Cyprinus carpio) were constructed to simulate a freshwater system. The accumulation, elimination and toxic effects of DDT (p,p'-DDT, o,p'-DDT), and its metabolites DDD (p,p'-DDD, o,p'-DDD) and DDE (p,p'-DDE, o,p'-DDE) were studied in T. tubifex and carp. Tissue/organ distributions of DDTs were also investigated in carp. The bioaccumulation and elimination of DDT differed in T. tubifex, carp and its tissues/organs. Unimodal or bimodal distributions were observed, and the concentrations of DDT metabolites (DDD and p,p'-DDE) increased over time. The carp organ with the highest concentrations of DDTs (DDT, DDD and DDE) was the gill. The largest mass distribution of DDTs was also in gill, followed by muscle and gastrointestinal tract. Maximum levels of DDTs in whole carp and carp muscle were 161 and 87 ng/g, respectively; therefore, the levels of DDTs observed in carp in this study were insufficient to constitute a health concern if present in fish for human consumption. Significant changes were observed in some biomarkers, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione, and carboxylesterase, in T. tubifex and carp tissues during DDT exposure. Tissue-specific accumulation of DDTs in carp can be a key indicator of exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 24:3618-3625.

Abstract
Efficacy and potential environmental risks should be considered when applying enantiopure pesticides. In this study, Tubifex tubifex and its oxidative stress biomarkers were assessed for the toxicity of metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M in sediment. The toxicity assessment was conducted with artificial sediment and reconstituted water. Five test concentrations (from 0 to 100 mg/kg) were set for the short-term (4 days) exposure. The long-term (28 days) exposure was conducted with the environmental concentration (from 0.5 to 5 mg/kg). For the short-term exposure, the increase of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was observed, and a clear concentration-response relationship was found in the metalaxyl treatments. The decrease of catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity could be caused by oxidative stress. The decrease of glutathione (GSH) content and the increase of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) might be due to antioxidation defense and detoxification mechanisms. The increase of malondialdehyde (MDA) might be due to the saturation of antioxidant systems and the accumulation and toxicity of contaminations. In the long-term exposure, the changes of biomarkers in T. tubifex reflected the oxidative stress and detoxification metabolisms. GSH and the related enzymes were important in detoxification processes and involved in the oxidative stress in toxicity mechanism. The long-term direct contact bioassay is sensitive and appropriate to reflect the lower concentration of contaminants.
