The dye decolorization activity of fungal pellets has been compared with another method based on the decolorization of dye by growing cells. The pellet method was more advantageous than the growing cell method. The growing cells of F. trogii decolorized 21% of the dye in distilled water medium and 16% in stock basal medium in 24 h. On the other hand, Funalia trogii pellets rapidly decolorized the Astrazon Red dye, mono-azo textile dye, in 24 h, without any visual sorption of any dye to the pellets. The effect of various supplements on longevity of decolorization by free pellets was also tested. Glucose and cheese whey supplementation improved dye decolorization performance of the pellets and remained high and stable for 10 days. We also tested the dye decolorization ability of pellets immobilized on activated carbon. These pellets showed the stable dye decolorization activity during the repeated batch experiments. The study revealed that dye decolorization by pellets is more effective method than the growing cell method.  相似文献

This work represents the first report of isolation of potential laccase producers by air sampling using media supplemented with 2,2‐azinobis (3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonate) and guaiacol for laccase production and secretion indicators. Nine fungal isolates showed positive reactions with 2,2‐azinobis (3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonate) and guaiacol. The isolate named TEM H2 exhibited the largest and intensive oxidation zones with 2,2‐azinobis (3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonate) (85 mm) and guaiacol (66 mm) and therefore it was selected for detailed investigations. The strain was identified as Trametes trogii TEM H2 due to the morphological characteristics and the comparison of internal transcribed spacer ribosomal DNA gene sequences. The laccase production was screened in different liquid cultures. The best laccase production medium was determined as soluble starch yeast extract medium in which laccase production was reached to a maximum level (989.6 U l–1) on the 8th day of cultivation. Effects of different initial pH values on laccase production were tested. Optimum pH value for laccase production in soluble starch yeast extract medium was determined as pH 3.0 with 15425.0 U l–1laccase production at 12th day of cultivation. In addition, effects of eight inducers (veratryl alcohol, ferulic acid, 1‐Hydroxybenzotriazole, syringic acid, 2,2‐azinobis (3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonate), 1 mmol l–1 CuSO4, 3% ethanol, guaiacol) were examined. Only cultures with 2,5‐xylidine exhibited 1.9 fold increase in laccase activity reaching to 28890.0 U l–1. (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)  相似文献

The toxicity of eight textile dyes was evaluated using two bioassays namely: Ames test and seed germination test. The Ames test is widely used for the evaluation of hazardous mutagenic effect of different chemicals, as a short-term screening test for environmental impact assessment. The eight-textile dyes and Eithidium bromide dye (as positive control) were tested with five "his" Salmonella typhimurium strains: TA 100; TA 98; TA 1535; TA 1537; TA 1538. Using six concentrations of each dye (2.5 microg/ml, 4.5 microg/ml, 9 microg/ml, 13.5 microg/ml, 18 microg/ml, and 22.5 microg/ml) revealed that, most of the dyes were mutagenic for the test strains used in this study. The high concentrations of dye eliminated microbial colonies due to the high frequency of mutation causing lethal effect on the cells.In this work the phytotoxicity of different soluble textile dyes was estimated by measuring the relative changes in seed germination of four plants: clover, wheat, tomato and lettuce. The changes in shooting percentages and root length as affected by dye were also measured. Seed germination percent and shoot growth as well as root length were recorded after 6 days of exposure to different concentrations of textile dyes in irrigation water. The results show that high concentrations of dyes were more toxic to seed germination as compared with the lower concentrations. However, the low concentrations of the tested dyes adversely affected the shooting percent significantly.  相似文献

Pleurotus ostreatus is a hetertothallic homobasidiomycete whose mating is controlled by a bifactorial tetrapolar genetic system. Although this mechanism is well accepted, there is a lack of knowledge about its molecular basis, as the incompatibility loci have not been cloned and sequenced. As a first step towards the elucidation of the molecular structure of the A-type incompatibility locus, molecular markers have been isolated which correspond to genomic sequences present in different strains of P. ostreatus but not in other higher basidiomycetae. These markers reveal single-copy genetic regions in which some degree of genetic variability can be detected. Received: 25 June / 3 October 1998  相似文献

Dead fungal biomass prepared from Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Funalia trogii was tested for their efficiency in removal of textile dyes. The effects of contact time, initial dye concentration, amount of dead biomass and agitation rate on dye removal have been determined. Removal of all dyes required a very short time (60 min). Experimental results show that, P. chrysosporium was more effective than F. trogii . An increase in the amount of dead biomass positively affected of the dye removal. The removal efficiency of different amount of biomass was in order 1 g > 0.5 g > 0.2 g > 0.1 g. The highest removal was obtained at 150-200 rpm. Slightly lower removing activities were found at lower agitation rates. This study showed that it was possible to remove textile dyes by dead biomass of P. chrysosporium .  相似文献

Phomopsis sapotae and P. psidii are known to cause severe fruit rot diseases of Achras sapota and Psidium quajava fruits respectively. Among all tested phenolic compounds, α-naphthol (50 ppm) and guaiacol (250 ppm) caused complete inhibition of mycelial growth of Phomopsis sapotae and P. psidii. Achras sapota and Psidium quajava fruits treated with α-naphthol (50 ppm) and guaiacol (250 ppm) did not show any disease symptoms and hence complete inhibition of polygalacturonase, pectinmethylgalacturonase and cellulase enzyme was recorded in both the fruits. Pyrocatechol and phloroglucinol were least inhibitory in checking the mycelial growth, rot development and enzyme secretion in both the tested fruits. Generally these parameters were decreased by increasing the concentration of each phenolic compound in both the cases.  相似文献

Lignin peroxidase (LiP), manganese peroxidase (MnP) and laccase activities in selected sub-tropical white rot fungal species from Zimbabwe were determined. The enzyme activities were assayed at varying concentrations of C, N and Mn2+. Manganese peroxidase and laccase activities were the only expressed activities in the fungi under the culture conditions tested. Trametes species, T. cingulata, T. elegans and T. pocas produced the highest manganese peroxidase activities in a medium containing high carbon and low nitrogen conditions. High nitrogen conditions favoured high manganese peroxidase activity in DSPM95, L. velutinus and Irpex spp. High manganese peroxidase activity was notable for T. versicolor when both carbon and nitrogen in the medium were present at high levels. Laccase production by the isolates was highest under conditions of high nitrogen and those conditions with both nitrogen and carbon at high concentration. Mn2+ concentrations between 11-25 ppm gave the highest manganese peroxidase activity compared to a concentration of 40 ppm or when there was no Mn2+ added. Laccase activity was less influenced by Mn2+ levels. While some laccase activity was produced in the absence of Mn2+, the enzyme levels were higher when Mn2+ was added to the culture medium.  相似文献

The reduction in hemozoin content is a well known feature of chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium berghei. Using NK65-derived lines displaying increasing resistance levels, we observed an inverse relationship between the hemozoin content, and the glutathione (GSH) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) levels. Treatment of highly chloroquine-resistant-infected mice with buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), which has previously been shown to partially reverse this chloroquine resistance, led to a significant increase in hemozoin production. In vitro studies on the polymerization of ferriprotoporphirin IX (FPIX) at pH 5.0 showed that GSH partially inhibited beta-hematin synthesis, while GST had a trivial and non specific effect. Furthermore, chloroquine-sensitive parasites invading reticulocytes displayed higher GSH level and GST activity, and reduced hemozoin synthesis and susceptibility to chloroquine. We conclude that, in chloroquine resistant P.berghei, GSH can detoxify hemin within the food vacuole, thus precluding its polymerization and preventing the activity of chloroquine and other quinoline-containing drugs. It is proposed that vacuolar GSH could be ascribed to an erythrocytic origin, since the resistant lines invade reticulocytes, which contain higher levels of GSH and GST than normocytes.  相似文献

We determined the complete nucleotide (nt) sequence (16,614 nt) of a large double-stranded (ds) RNA (referred to as L1 dsRNA), previously identified as the hypovirulence factor from strain V670 of the violet root rot fungus, Helicobasidium mompa. The positive-strand of L1 dsRNA contained a long open reading frame (ORF) potentially encoding a protein of 5,373 amino acids (molecular mass 603,080 Da) with conserved motifs characteristic of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and helicase. The ORF is the longest so far reported in the fungal kingdom. The putative RdRp and helicase were shown to be related to putative RdRps and helicases of members of the genus Endornavirus. As is the case with endornaviruses, the coding (sense) strand of L1 dsRNA contained a discontinuity (nick) at nt position 2,552. A region between the RdRp and helicase domains of the polyprotein also had an amino acid sequence, resembling UDP glycosyltransferases (UGTs) in Oryza sativa endornavirus and Phytophthora endornavirus 1. Regions in the L1 dsRNA-encoded protein presumed to contain putative helicase, UGT and RdRp motifs were present at comparable positions to those in other endornaviruses. L1 dsRNA of H. mompa strain V670 was assigned to the genus Endornavirus, and here, we designate it as H. mompa endornavirus 1-670 (HmEV1-670). This represents the first report of a fungal endornavirus whose complete nucleotide sequence has been determined.  相似文献

Fourteen textile and biological dyes, belonging to the azo, triphenylmethane, anthraquinone, heterocyclic, oxazine, and methine/polymethine groups, were degraded using the PhotoFenton treatment (PFT) and the Phanerochaete chrysosporium crude ligninase enzyme (ED) treatment. The genotoxicity of the dyes and of their degradation products were assessed with the rec-assay. We found that the genotoxicity depended on the dye and on the method of degradation. In general, PFT was better than ED in decreasing the genotoxicity. Basic dyes showed complete or maximum loss of genotoxicity, whereas the vat group was more resistant. The azo group showed varied results. Crystal Violet was the only dye whose genotoxicity increased after PFT. Our results suggest that PFT and ED are two effective treatment methods to reduce the genotoxicity of dyes in waste waters.  相似文献

Sympathetic stimulation induces beige adipocytes in white adipose tissue (WAT), known as browning of WAT. In this study, exposure of mice to cold ambient temperature (10 °C) for 24 h induced the mRNA expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a marker for beige adipocytes, in inguinal WAT, but not in perigonadal WAT. Thus, we examined the role of macrophages in depot-dependent WAT browning in mice. Flowcytometric analysis showed that total number of macrophages was higher in perigonadal WAT than in inguinal WAT. Cold exposure failed to change the expression of macrophage marker genes in inguinal WAT; however, it increased the mRNA expression of CD11c and tumor necrosis factor-α in perigonadal WAT, indicating that proinflammatory M1 macrophage is activated. The removal of macrophages using clodronate significantly enhanced cold-induced UCP1 mRNA expression in perigonadal WAT. These results suggest that M1 macrophages are involved in the phenotype of perigonadal WAT that hardly undergo browning.  相似文献

Eight Aspergillus strains were found to be successful in removing textile dyes from liquid media. These fungal strains were grown on medium containing: gelatine wastes and sucrose, as sources of nitrogen and carbon to test the possible speed up of the dyes removing while fungus biomass is building up in the media. The growth of fungal strains ranged from 10 to 110 mg biomass dry weight/100 ml medium. This growth induced high decolorization percentages, which ranged 33-95% within eight days. Two textile dyes Direct brown and Polar red were included in the study. The growth of the fungal strains as well as decolorization percentage of the dyes increased after 5, 6, and 8 days from incubation time with most tested strains. With Direct brown dye the strains number 2, 5, 31 and 37 recorded the highest percentage of decolorization (91, 92, 93 and 95 respectively) after incubation for 6 days. Fungal strains Aspergillus 5 and 31 gave the highest mycelium dry weight being 110 mg. Most of fungal strains induced 86 to 95 percentage of decolorization after 6 days incubation with Polar red dye. The possible toxicity of the remaining supernatant media after fungal biomass removal was tested by Ames test to assess the residual mutagenic agents remaining after dye removal, using three strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538). The results showed that the toxicity of the dyes, measured by Ames test could be removed by the dye absorption on the fungal biomass.  相似文献

CCl4-induced toxic damage to the liver in rats and rabbits is accompanied by inhibition of detoxifying functions of the liver and a decrease in plasma α1 content and core body temperature. Injection of pyrogenal stimulated detoxifying functions of the liver, elevated α1 content in the blood, and increased body temperature. Intravenous injection of α1 caused hyperthermia. No pyrogenal-induced hyperthermia was observed in animals with CC4-induced damage to the liver. These data indicate that functional activity of the liver and blood content of α1 play an important role in the mechanisms of thermoregulatory reactions to endotoxin.
