Physiological and biochemical response in green mussel Perna viridis subjected to continuous chlorination: Perspective on cooling water discharge criteria. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 359:142191. [PMID: 38697563 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142191] [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: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
Heavy infestation by Perna viridis has been observed in the sub-seabed seawater intake tunnel and CWS of a tropical coastal power station in-spite of continuous low dose chlorination regime (0.2 ± 0.1 mg L-1) (CLDC), indicating periodical settlement and growth. Continuous arrival of mussels (colonized in the sub seabed tunnel intake section) at the pump house indicated that the mussels were able to tolerate and survive in a chlorinated environment, for varying time periods and were dislodged when they become weak and subsequent death, leading to flushing out of the system. In the present study, effect of continuous chlorination [0.2 mg L-1 (in-plant use); 0.5 mg L-1 (shock dose) & 1.0 mg L-1 (high levels)] was evaluated on mussels to assess; (a) time taken for mortality, (b) action of chlorine on physiological, genetic, metabolic and neuronal processes. 100% mortality of mussels was observed after 15 (0.2 mg L-1); 9 (0.5 mg L-1) and 6 days (1.0 mg L-1) respectively. Extended valve closure due to chlorination resulted in stress, impairing the respiratory and feeding behavior leading to deterioration in mussel health. Pseudofaeces excretion reduced to 68% (0.2 mg L-1); 10% (0.5 mg L-1) and 89% (1.0 mg L-1) compared to controls. Genotoxicity was observed with increase in % tail DNA fraction in all treatments such as 86% (0.2 mg L-1); 76% (0.5 mg L-1) and 85% (1.0 mg L-1). Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) stress biomarkers increased drastically/peaked within the first 3 days of continuous chlorination with subsequent quenching by antioxidant enzymes. Gill produced highest generation of ROS; 38% (0.2 mg L-1); 97% (0.5 mg L-1); 98% (1.0 mg L-1). Additionally, it was shown that 84% (0.2 mg L-1), 72% (0.5 mg L-1), and 80.4% (1.0 mg L-1) of the neurotransmitter acetylcholinesterase activity was inhibited by chlorine at the nerve synapse. The cumulative impact of ROS generation, neuronal toxicity, and disrupted functions weakens the overall health of green mussels resulting in mortality.

Abstract
A multibiomarker approach helps assess environmental health as it provides a complete tool to understand the effects of environmental stressors on ecosystems and human health. We applied this approach in the central Atlantic Ocean of Morocco, an area subjected to the impact of many types of pollutants, threatening the durability of its resources. In this study, four biomarkers acetylcholinesterase (AChE), glutathione-s-transferase (GST), metallothioneins (MTs), and catalase (CAT) were measured in the digestive gland of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis collected from four sites: Imsouane (S1), Cap Ghir (S2), Imi Ouaddar (S3), and Douira (S4). These sites were chosen due to the diversity of impacts ranging from industrial to agricultural and touristic. We also assembled all the enzymatic responses (AChE, GST, CAT, and MTs), using the integrated biomarker response (IBR), to estimate the degree of impact of pollutants at the prospected sites to reveal all the complex interactions between biomarkers and to classify sites via the integrated approach. Results show a seasonal change in biomarker responses with variability between sites. We also recorded the highest levels of AChE inhibition and GST induction in S1, higher levels of catalase activity in S4, and a significant impact on metallothionein concentration in S1 and S3. This project highlights the interest in using a multibiomarker approach to ensure accurate interpretation of biomarker variation to protect the Moroccan coast and its resources.

Abstract
As an emerging environmental contaminant, di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is widely present in the aquatic environment, however, the effects and underlying mechanisms of DEHP on the aquatic organisms are poorly understood. This study systematically investigated the ecotoxicity induced by chronic exposure to environmental relevant concentrations of DEHP (0.03 mg/L, 0.1 mg/L, and 0.3 mg/L) on zebrafish brain. Results indicated that DEHP exposure significantly increased the levels of ROS and disturbance of the antioxidant enzymes activities in the brain, which may further enhance lipid peroxidation and DNA damage. Furthermore, acetylcholinesterase activity was first stimulated and inhibited by exposure to DEHP, and the antioxidant and apoptosis related genes were mainly upregulated. Risk assessment indicated that the ecotoxicity of DEHP on the zebrafish showed an "enhancement-reduction" trend as the exposure time was prolonged. Overall, these results provided new insights and useful information to ecological risk assessment and environmental management of DEHP pollution.

Abstract
Climate change (CC) induces significant worldwide alterations in salinity and temperature, impacting ecosystems and their services. Marine organisms, susceptible to these changes, may experience modified vulnerability to anthropogenic contaminants, including rare-earth elements (REEs) such as yttrium (Y) derived from electronic waste. This study investigated the influence of temperature and salinity changes on the impacts of Y in Mytilus galloprovincialis mussels. Organisms were subjected to Y (0 and 10 μg/L) for 28 days under three salinity scenarios (20, 30 (control), and 40, at a control temperature of 17 °C) or to two temperatures (17 and 22 °C, at the control salinity of 30). Under these conditions, Y bioaccumulation and different biomarkers were evaluated. Results showed that salinity and temperature did not affect Y accumulation, indicating effective detoxification mechanisms and physiological adaptations in the exposed organisms. However, in Y-exposed mussels effects were intensified under decreased salinity, evidenced by increased metabolism, defense enzyme activities, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) levels. Similar responses occurred under heat stress with enhanced metabolic capacity, AChE activity, and activation of defense mechanisms such as glutathione S-transferases. These defense mechanisms mitigated cellular damage caused by Y, but under the highest temperature and especially lower salinity, Y-exposed mussels exhibited increased oxidative stress and decreased efficiency of activated defense enzymes, resulting in cellular damage compared to their uncontaminated counterpart. The present study sheds light on the effects that interactions between temperature, salinity, and the presence of emerging contaminants like REEs may have on marine organisms. Such assessments are crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate the impacts of CC and protect the long-term health and resilience of marine ecosystems.

Abstract
The threat of climate change, which includes shifts in salinity and temperature, has generated a global concern for marine organisms. These changes directly impact them and may alter their susceptibility to contaminants, such as terbium (Tb), found in electronic waste. This study assessed how decreased and increased salinity, as well as increased temperature, modulates Tb effects in Mytilus galloprovincialis mussels. After an exposure period of 28 days, Tb bioaccumulation and biochemical changes were evaluated. Results indicated no significant modulation of salinity and temperature on Tb accumulation, suggesting detoxification mechanisms and adaptations. Further analysis showed that Tb exposure alone caused antioxidant inhibition and neurotoxicity. When exposed to decreased salinity, these Tb-exposed organisms activated defense mechanisms, a response indicative of osmotic stress. Moreover, increased salinity also led to increased oxidative stress and metabolic activity in Tb-exposed organisms. Additionally, Tb-exposed organisms responded to elevated temperature with altered biochemical activities indicative of damage and stress response. Such responses suggested that Tb effects were masked by osmotic and heat stress. This study provides valuable insights into the interactions between temperature, salinity, and contaminants such as Tb, impacting marine organisms. Understanding these relationships is crucial for mitigating climate change and electronic waste effects on marine ecosystems.

Abstract
This review uses the marine bivalve Crassostrea gigas to highlight redox reactions and control systems in species living in dynamic intertidal environments. Intertidal species face daily and seasonal environmental variability, including temperature, oxygen, salinity, and nutritional changes. Increasing anthropogenic pressure can bring pollutants and pathogens as additional stressors. Surprisingly, C. gigas demonstrates impressive adaptability to most of these challenges. We explore how ROS production, antioxidant protection, redox signaling, and metabolic adjustments can shed light on how redox biology supports oyster survival in harsh conditions. The review provides (i) a brief summary of shared redox sensing processes in metazoan; (ii) an overview of unique characteristics of the C. gigas intertidal habitat and the suitability of this species as a model organism; (iii) insights into the redox biology of C. gigas, including ROS sources, signaling pathways, ROS-scavenging systems, and thiol-containing proteins; and examples of (iv) hot topics that are underdeveloped in bivalve research linking redox biology with immunometabolism, physioxia, and development. Given its plasticity to environmental changes, C. gigas is a valuable model for studying the role of redox biology in the adaptation to harsh habitats, potentially providing novel insights for basic and applied studies in marine and comparative biochemistry and physiology.

Abstract
The increasing demand for electric and electronic equipment has led to a rise in potentially hazardous electronic waste, including rare-earth elements (REEs), such as terbium (Tb), which have been already detected in aquatic systems. This study investigated the biochemical effects of anthropogenic Tb on mussels over a 28-day period. The mussels were exposed to different concentrations of Tb (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 μg/L), and biomarkers related to metabolism, oxidative stress, cellular damage, and neurotoxicity were evaluated. Bioaccumulation of Tb in the mussels' tissue increased with exposure concentrations, but the bioconcentration factor remained similar between treatments. Exposure to Tb enhanced glycogen consumption and decreased metabolic capacity which could be seen as a physiological adaptation to limit Tb accumulation. Antioxidant defenses and glutathione S-transferases showed a more complex dose-response, with enzymatic responses increasing until 10 μg/L but then returning to control levels at 20 μg/L. At 40 μg/L, enzymatic responses were also enhanced but to a lower extent than at 10 μg/L. The presence of Tb had clearly an inhibitory effect on biotransformation enzymes such as carboxylesterases in a dose-dependent manner. Likely, thanks to biochemical and physiological adaptations, no cellular damage or neurotoxicity was observed in any treatments, confirming the mussels' ability to tolerate Tb exposure. Nevertheless, prolonged exposure to these concentrations could lead to harmful consequences when facing other environmental stressors, such as misallocating energy resources for growth, reproduction, and defense mechanisms.

Abstract
Scallops Aequipecten tehuelchus (Patagonia, Argentina) were exposed to 0, 2, 5 and 12 μg Cd/L for 7 and 14 days, causing in digestive gland a significant production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), induction of catalase (CAT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities and metallothioneins (MT) synthesis. In gills, there was inhibition of GST and induction of CAT, MT and α-tocopherol (α-Toc). In muscle, a significant increment of MT was also registered and inhibition of CAT. Lipid peroxidation, measured as TBARS, was not promoted in any tissue. More significant effects were observed in digestive gland than in gills and muscle, evidencing the critical role of digestive gland in Cd accumulation and metabolisation. This research would evidence dose-dependent effects of Cd on MT, GST, CAT and α-Toc in the three organs assayed, as well as a time-dependent effect of Cd on the response of CAT, GST and TBARS in digestive gland.

Abstract
Some atmospheric pollutants may affect aquatic ecosystems after settling, generating contamination, bioaccumulation, and threats to aquatic species. Metallurgical processes result in the emission of settleable atmospheric particulate matter (SePM), including metals and metalloids, along with rare earth elements (REE) that are considered emerging contaminants. We report the 30-day exposure of brown mussels (Perna perna) to SePM collected in a metallurgical area of southeast Brazil close to estuarine ecosystems, followed by a 30-day clearance period, to evaluate the toxic potential of SePM to this model mollusk. The bioaccumulation of 28 elements identified in SePM and the sublethal effects were evaluated. REEs were found in SePM (Ce, Y, and La). Significant bioaccumulation of eight metals (Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Cd, and Ba) was found in the bivalves and correlates with the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity, showing a dose-dependent mode and suggesting a pre-pathological condition that could lead to ecological disturbances over time. Conversely, the unchanged lipid-peroxidation level after SePM exposure could indicate the effectiveness of the antioxidant system in protecting gills and digestive glands. The clearance period was not enough to successfully reverse the negative effects observed. So far, the current results enhance the comprehension of the negative role of SePM on metal bioaccumulation and metal-induced toxicity to aquatic biota. Thus, this report adds innovative findings on the role of SePM in aquatic pollution in coastal areas affected by atmospheric pollution, which should be relevant for future public policies to verify and control the environmental pollution.

This study investigates Pb, Cd, and Cr in the suspended particulate matter (SPM), sediments, and green mussels from Cilincing and Kamal Muara, Jakarta Bay and estimates their potential human health risks. The results showed that the metal levels in SPM from Cilincing ranged from 0.81 to 1.69 mg/kg for Pb and 2.14 to 5.31 mg/kg for Cr, while in Kamal Muara ranged from 0.70 to 3.82 mg/kg for Pb and 1.88 to 4.78 mg/kg dry weight for Cr. The levels of Pb, Cd, and Cr in sediments from Cilincing ranged from 16.53 to 32.51 mg/kg, 0.91 to 2.52 mg/kg; and 0.62 to 1.0 mg/kg whereas in Kamal Muara ranged from 8.74 to 8.81 mg/kg; 0.51 to 1.79 mg/kg, and 0.27 to 0.31 mg/kg dry weight, respectively. The levels of Cd and Cr of green mussels in Cilincing ranged from 0.014 to 0.75 mg/kg and 0.003 to 0.11 mg/kg; while in Kamal Muara ranged from 0.015 to 0.073 mg/kg and 0.01 to 0.04 mg/kg wet weight, respectively. Pb was not detected in all samples of green mussels. The Pb, Cd, and Cr levels in the green mussels were still below the permissible limits set by international standards. However, the Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) for adult and children in several samples were higher than one indicating potential noncarcinogenic effects to consumers due to Cd accumulation. To reduce the detrimental effects of metals, we suggest maximum mussel consumption of 0.65 kg for adults and 0.19 kg for children in a week based on the highest level of metals.

The first use of LC-MS/MS proteomic approach in the brown mussel Perna perna after bacterial challenge: Searching for key proteins on immune response. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2023; 134:108622. [PMID: 36803779 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.108622] [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: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The brown mussel Perna perna is a valuable fishing resource, primarily in tropical and subtropical coastal regions. Because of their filter-feeding habits, mussels are directly exposed to bacteria in the water column. Escherichia coli (EC) and Salmonella enterica (SE) inhabit human guts and reach the marine environment through anthropogenic sources, such as sewage. Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) is indigenous to coastal ecosystems but can be harmful to shellfish. In this study, we aimed to assess the protein profile of the hepatopancreas of P. perna mussel challenged by introduced - E. coli and S. enterica - and indigenous marine bacteria - V. parahaemolyticus. Bacterial-challenge groups were compared with non-injected (NC) and injected control (IC) - that consisted in mussels not challenged and mussels injected with sterile PBS-NaCl, respectively. Through LC-MS/MS proteomic analysis, 3805 proteins were found in the hepatopancreas of P. perna. From the total, 597 were significantly different among conditions. Mussels injected with VP presented 343 proteins downregulated compared with all the other conditions, suggesting that VP suppresses their immune response. Particularly, 31 altered proteins - upregulated or downregulated - for one or more challenge groups (EC, SE, and VP) compared with controls (NC and IC) are discussed in detail in the paper. For the three tested bacteria, significantly different proteins were found to perform critical roles in immune response at all levels, namely: recognition and signal transduction; transcription; RNA processing; translation and protein processing; secretion; and humoral effectors. This is the first shotgun proteomic study in P. perna mussel, therefore providing an overview of the protein profile of the mussel hepatopancreas, focused on the immune response against bacteria. Hence, it is possible to understand the immune-bacteria relationship at molecular levels better. This knowledge can support the development of strategies and tools to be applied to coastal marine resource management and contribute to the sustainability of coastal systems.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The aquaculture showed high growth along with the increase in the consumption of animal protein from this sector. The processing industries facilitate the preparation of fish for the consumer; however, they generate large volumes of effluents with a high polluting potential. Environmental legislation establishes norms for the release of effluents, making it necessary to implement treatment systems to reduce the pollutants generated. The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of a compartmentalized anaerobic reactor (ABR) followed by an anaerobic filter (AF) treating fish processing effluent. The work was carried out in a slaughterhouse that had an effluent treatment station consisting of a static sieve, grease box, ABR reactor and anaerobic filter. Monitoring consisted of physical-chemical and biological analyzes of samples collected from the influent and effluents from each stage of treatment. The parameters evaluated were ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, NTK, phosphate and coliforms. The average results of the removal efficiency of these parameters, respectively, for the ABR reactor were 5, 40, 69, -19, -25 and 83%, and for the AF -0.5, 73, 53, 10, -17 and -17%. The system composed by the ABR reactor followed by the Anaerobic Filter showed high removal of nitrite, nitrate, and coliforms.

Abstract
Soil contamination with cresol is a problem of the 21st century and poses a threat to soil microorganisms, humans, animals, and plants. The lack of precise data on the potential toxicity of o-cresol in soil microbiome and biochemical activity, as well as the search for effective remediation methods, inspired the aim of this study. Soil is subjected to four levels of contamination with o-cresol: 0, 0.1, 1, 10, and 50 mg o-cresol kg-1 dry matter (DM) of soil and the following are determined: the count of eight groups of microorganisms, colony development index (CD) and ecophysiological diversity index (EP) for organotrophic bacteria, actinobacteria and fungi, and the bacterial genetic diversity. Moreover, the responses of seven soil enzymes are investigated. Perna canaliculus is a recognized biosorbent of organic pollutants. Therefore, microbial biostimulation with Perna canaliculus shells is used to eliminate the negative effect of the phenolic compound on the soil microbiome. Fungi appears to be the microorganisms most sensitive to o-cresol, while Pseudomonas sp. is the least sensitive. In o-cresol-contaminated soils, the microbiome is represented mainly by the bacteria of the Proteobacteria and Firmicutes phyla. Acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and urease can be regarded as sensitive indicators of soil disturbance. Perna canaliculus shells prove to be an effective biostimulator of soil under pressure with o-cresol.
