Insights from field and experimental studies. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2024; 200:116087. [PMID: 38335631 DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2024.116087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
Organotin compounds are persistent pollutants and are considered chemicals of high environmental concern. In the present study, the distribution and degradation of tributyltin were evaluated in field sediments and through an ex situ experiment. For this, sediment samples from two locations were analysed: Luis Piedrabuena Harbour, with higher maritime traffic, and Cerro Avanzado, which receives less impact from anthropogenic activities. The results indicated that pollution levels at Luis Piedrabuena Harbour have decreased compared with studies performed 9 years ago for the same area. On the contrary, traces of organotin compounds have been found for the first time at Cerro Avanzado. Moreover, the butyltin degradation index indicated that organotin compounds undergo an advanced degradation process in the collected samples at both sites. Ex situ experiments revealed a limited capacity of sediments to retain tributyltin, and suggested an active role of bioturbation activity in the degradation of these compounds. In addition, visualisation using chemometric techniques (principal components analysis) allowed a simpler analysis of two sediment characteristics: the degree of contamination and the degradation levels of organotin compounds.

Abstract
Textile industry effluents and landfill leachate contain chemicals such as dyes, heavy metals and aromatic amines characterized by their mutagenicity, cytotoxicity and carcinogenicity. The aim of the present study was investigation of the ascomycete fungus N. pironii isolated from urban postindustrial textile green space for its ability to grow and retain metabolic activity in the presence of the dye industry waste. Research focused mainly on dyes, heavy metals and aromatic amines, which had been detected in landfill leachate via HPLC-MS/MS analysis. Presence of all tested compounds as well as leachate in the growth medium clearly favored the growth of fungal biomass. Only slight growth limitation was observed in the presence of 50 mg L-1 o-tolidine. The fungus eliminated o-tolidine as well as dyes at all tested concentrations. The presence of metals slightly influenced the decolorization of the azo dyes; however, it was still similar to 90%. During fungal growth, o-tolidine was hydroxylated and/or converted to toluidine and its derivatives. Laccase and cytochrome P450 involvement in this process has been revealed. The results presented in the paper provide a valuable background for the development of a fungus-based system for the elimination of toxic pollutants generated by the textile industry.

Abstract
Atrazine, is one of major concern pesticides contaminating agricultural areas and ground water. Its microbial biodegradation seems to be the most efficient in terms of economic and environmental benefits. In the present work the cometabolic biodegradation of atrazine by the fungus Metarhizum robertsii IM 6519 during 10-day batch cultures was characterized. The herbicide was transformed to several hydroxy-, dechlorinated or dealkylated metabolites with the involvement of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases. The obtained metabolomics data revealed that atrazine induced oxidative stress (increased the levels of L-proline, L-ornithine, L-arginine, GABA and L-methionine), disruptions of the carbon and nitrogen metabolism (L-aspartic acid, L-asparagine, L-tyrosine, L-threonine, L-isoleucine, L-phenylalanine, 1-methyl-L-histidine, L-tryptophan, L-valine, L-alanine, O-phospho-L-serine, L-sarcosine or L-lysine) and caused an increase in the membrane fluidity (a rise in the phosphatidylcholines/phosphatidylethanolamines (PC/PE) ratio together with the growth of the taurine level). The increased level of hydroxyl derivatives of linoleic acid (9-HODE and 13-HODE) confirmed that atrazine induced lipid peroxidation. The presented results suggesting that M. robertsii IM 6519 might be applied in atrazine biodegradation and may bring up the understanding of the process of triazine biodegradation by Metarhizum strains.

Lipids, proteins and extracellular metabolites of Trichoderma harzianum modifications caused by 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid as a plant growth stimulator. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2020; 194:110383. [PMID: 32143105 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.110383] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2019] [Revised: 02/21/2020] [Accepted: 02/25/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Strains of Trichoderma harzianum are well-known producers of bioactive secondary metabolites and have a beneficial effect on plants. However, to the best of our knowledge, the effect of the commonly used pesticides on the activity of this fungus is not yet investigated. Therefore, in the present study, the effect of the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) on the lipidome and selected extracellular compounds synthesized by T. harzianum IM 0961 was examined. It was observed that the herbicide 2,4-D caused changes in the lipid composition of the mycelium and that the herbicide exhibited lipophilic properties. In addition, the herbicide disturbed the phosphatidylcholine (PC)/phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) ratio and increased membrane permeability. The higher amount of cardiolipin CL 72:7 and the lower amount of CL 72:8 could have been associated with a decreased ratio of 18:2 and 18:1 fatty acids in the herbicide-treated samples. Moreover, in the presence of 2,4-D, an increased lipid peroxidation (twofold), as well as a higher content of oxylipin (9-HODE and 13-HODE) and phosphatidic acid (PA), was noted, confirming that 2,4-D induced lipid peroxidation in the mycelium. The herbicide also exerted its toxic effect on the production of 14-aminoacid peptaibols and two compounds, harzianic acid and t22-azaphilone, exhibiting antibiotic and plant growth-promoting activity. During proteomic analysis, the synthesis of some proteins, such as calcineurin-like phosphoesterase metallophosphatases (MPPs), which modulate the properties of cell walls, was found to be inhibited by the herbicide. These presented findings may be of significant value in understanding the effect of 2,4-D on the activity of T. harzianum.

Assessment of oxidative stress and phospholipids alterations in chloroacetanilides-degrading Trichoderma spp. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2019; 184:109629. [PMID: 31509783 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2019.109629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2019] [Revised: 08/31/2019] [Accepted: 09/01/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
To investigate the induction of oxidative stress and antioxidant response in the chloroacetanilides-degrading Trichoderma spp. under alachlor and metolachlor exposure, a comparative analysis using popular biomarkers was employed. An increased intracellular level of reactive oxygen species (ROS; especially superoxide anion [O2-]) as well as products of lipid and protein oxidation after 24 h incubation with the herbicides confirmed chloroacetanilide-induced oxidative stress in tested Trichoderma strains. However, the considerable decline in the ROS levels and the carbonyl group content (biomarkers of protein peroxidation) in a time-dependent manner and changes in the antioxidant enzyme activities indicated an active response against chloroacetanilide-induced oxidative stress and the mechanism of tolerance in tested fungi. Moreover, the tested herbicides clearly modified the phospholipids (PLs) content in Trichoderma spp. in the stationary phase of growth, which was manifested through the difference in phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylcholines (PC) levels. Despite enhanced lipid peroxidation and changes in PLs in most tested fungi, only a slight modification in membrane integrity of Trichoderma spp. under chloroacetanilides exposure was noted. The obtained results suggest that the alterations in the antioxidant system and the PLs profile of Trichoderma spp. might be useful biomarkers of chloroacetanilide-induced oxidative stress.

Abstract
A proteomic study of Cunninghamella echinulata recovery during exposure to tributyltin was conducted with 2-D SDS-PAGE protein separation and profiling, MALDI-TOF/TOF protein identification, and PCA analysis. The presence of TBT resulted in an upregulation of enzymes related to energy production via cellular respiration. The unique overexpression of NADH dehydrogenase and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase, together with an increased level of cytochrome c oxidase, ATP synthase subunits, and inorganic pyrophosphatase, indicates a strong energy deficit in the cells, leading to an increase in the ATP production. The overexpression of Prohibitin-1, a multifunctional protein associated with the proper functioning of mitochondria, was observed as well. The data also revealed oxidative stress condition. Among reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging enzymes, only superoxide dismutase (SOD) showed active response against oxidative stress induced by the xenobiotic. The induction of a series of ROS-scavenging enzymes was supported by a microscopic analysis revealing a considerably large concentration of ROS in the hyphae. The overexpression of cytoskeleton-related proteins in the TBT presence was also noticed. The obtained results allow explaining the recovery strategy of the fungus in response to the energy depletion caused by TBT.

Abstract
The filamentous fungus Trichoderma koningii is capable of fast and effective eliminate alachlor (90% after 72 h when added separately and 80-60% in the presence of 1-5 mM of copper). After 168 h over 99% elimination of alachlor resulted in detoxification and was connected with the mitigation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Using MS/MS techniques, seven dechlorinated and hydroxylated metabolites were identified. Cytochrome P450 and laccase participate in biotransformation of the herbicide by this non-ligninolytic fungus. Laccase activity is stimulated both by copper and the mixture of copper and alachlor, which seems to be important for combined pollutants. T. koningii is characterized by high tolerance to copper (up to 7.5 mM). The metal content in mycelia reached 0.9-7.76 mg in 1 g of dry biomass. Our results suggest that T. koningii strain seems to be a promising tool for bioremediation of agricultural areas co-contaminated with copper-based fungicides and chloroacetanilide herbicides.
