Albarico FPJB, Lim YC, Chen CW, Chen CF, Wang MH, Dong CD. Linking seasonal plankton succession and cellular trace metal dynamics in marine assemblages. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 907:167805. [PMID: 37858810 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167805] [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: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023]
Abstract
Factors affecting trace metal dynamics in marine plankton still need to be fully understood. Underlying mechanisms affecting cellular metal distribution, seasonal changes, and the influence of plankton community structure are poorly explored. This study comprehensively analyzed the seasonal changes in environmental factors, plankton community structure, and their impact on plankton cellular metal dynamics. Plankton samples were isolated, and trace metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, Hg, and Pb) were analyzed with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Plankton community structure significantly changed with seasons (p < 0.05), which were mainly driven by temperature (seasonal change) and nutrients (eutrophication). Mean plankton cellular trace metals did not significantly change (p > 0.05) in the study area but were higher along estuaries likely due to differences in metal influx from rivers. However, their distribution patterns significantly differ between the wet and dry seasons, likely influenced by the changes in community structure and anthropogenic influx. Cellular trace metals, particularly in phytoplankton, strongly correlated with selected species suggesting the impacts of community structure in trace metal distribution. Hence, the influence of environmental factors in driving plankton succession may have caused a ripple effect on cellular trace metal distribution, especially in phytoplankton. However, both blooming species Skeletonema and Chaetoceros (diatoms) showed a contrasting relationship with cellular metals, suggesting the cooccurrence of bioaccumulation or biodilution mechanisms. This study shows the potential influence of community structure in cellular trace metal dynamics for marine plankton assemblages. However, more than plankton abundance and functional diversity, i.e., species diversity, might be needed to assess the community-level impacts on cellular metals.

Arsenic speciation in low-trophic marine food chain - An arsenic exposure study on microalgae (Diacronema lutheri) and blue mussels (Mytilus edulis L.). ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 334:122176. [PMID: 37437757 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122176] [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: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/14/2023]
Abstract
Microalgae and blue mussels are known to accumulate undesirable substances from the environment, including arsenic (As). Microalgae can biotransform inorganic As (iAs) to organoarsenic species, which can be transferred to blue mussels. Knowledge on As uptake, biotransformation, and trophic transfer is important with regards to feed and food safety since As species have varying toxicities. In the current work, experiments were conducted in two parts: (1) exposure of the microalgae Diacronema lutheri to 5 and 10 μg/L As(V) in seawater for 4 days, and (2) dietary As exposure where blue mussels (Mytilus edulis L.) were fed with D. lutheri exposed to 5 and 10 μg/L As(V), or by aquatic exposure to 5 μg/L As(V) in seawater, for a total of 25 days. The results showed that D. lutheri can take up As from seawater and transform it to methylated As species and arsenosugars (AsSug). However, exposure to 10 μg/L As(V) resulted in accumulation of iAs in D. lutheri and lower production of methylated As species, which may suggest that detoxification mechanisms were overwhelmed. Blue mussels exposed to As via the diet and seawater showed no accumulation of As. Use of linear mixed models revealed that the blue mussels were gradually losing As instead, which may be due to As concentration differences in the mussels' natural environment and the experimental setup. Both D. lutheri and blue mussels contained notable proportions of simple methylated As species and AsSug. Arsenobetaine (AB) was not detected in D. lutheri but present in minor fraction in mussels. The findings suggest that low-trophic marine organisms mainly contain methylated As species and AsSug. The use of low-trophic marine organisms as feed ingredients requires further studies since AsSug are regarded as potentially toxic, which may introduce new risks to feed and food safety.

Assessing indicators of arsenic toxicity using variable fluorescence in a commercially valuable microalgae: Physiological and toxicological aspects. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 452:131215. [PMID: 37001210 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131215] [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: 12/08/2022] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Indicators signaling Arsenic (As) stress through physiology of microalgae using non-destructive methods like variable fluorescence are rare but requisite. This study reports stress markers indicating arsenic (As) toxicity (in two concentrations 11.25 µg/L and 22.5 µg/L compared to a control) exposed to a microalga (Diacronema lutheri), using fast repetition rate fluorometry (FRRf). Growth and physiological parameters such as cell density, chl a and the maximum quantum yield Fv/Fm showed coherence and impeded after the exponential phase (day 9 - day 12) in As treatments compared to the control (p < 0.05). On contrary photo-physiological constants were elevated showing higher optical (aLHII) and functional [Sigma (σPSII)] absorption cross-section for the As treatments (p < 0.05) further implying the lack of biomass production yet an increase in light absorption. In addition, As exposure increased the energy dissipation by heat (NPQ-NSV) showing a strong relationship with the de-epoxidation ratio (DR) involving photoprotective pigments. Total As bioaccumulation by D. lutheri showed a strong affinity with Fe adsorption throughout the algal growth curve. This study suggests some prompt photo-physiological proxies signaling As contamination and endorsing its usefulness in risk assessments, given the high toxicity and ubiquitous presence of As in the ecosystem.

Advances from conventional to real time detection of heavy metal(loid)s for water monitoring: An overview of biosensing applications. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 307:136124.

Abstract
The rapid growth of the industrial sector has expedited the accumulation of heavy metal(loid)s in the environment at hazardous levels. The elements such as arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium and chromium are lethal in terms of toxicity with severe health impacts. With issues like water scarcity, limitations in wastewater treatment, and costs pertaining to detection in environmental matrices; their rapid and selective detection for reuse of effluents is of the utmost priority. Biosensors are the futuristic tool for the accurate qualitative and quantitative analysis of a specific analyte and integrate biotechnology, microelectronics and nanotechnology to fabricate a miniaturized device without compromising the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. The characteristic features of supporting matrix largely affect the biosensing ability of the device and incorporation of highly sensitive and durable metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are reported to enhance the efficiency of advanced biosensors. Electrochemical biosensors are among the most widely developed biosensors for the detection of heavy metal(loids), while direct electron transfer approach from the recognition element to the electrode has been found to decrease the chances of interference. This review provides an insight into the recent progress in biosensor technologies for the detection of prevalent heavy metal(loid)s; using advanced support systems such as functional metal-based nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, screen printed electrodes, glass beads etc. The review also delves critically in comparison of various techno-economic studies and the latest advances in biosensor technology.
