In this work, we have compared the physiological responses of alfalfa plants inoculated with either Sinorhizobium meliloti strain S412 (Cu-tolerant) or S112 (Cu-sensitive) in the presence or absence of 0.5 mM of CuSO4. The addition of copper (Cu) introduced a decrease of nodule number and their dry weight (DW) in both symbioses. The interaction established with the Cu-sensitive strain is more affected by Cu than that with the tolerant one. In fact, plants inoculated with the sensitive strain revealed a decrease of shoot and root DW, larger than that found in plants inoculated with the tolerant strain. However, under copper supply, Medicago sativa with the Cu-tolerant strain did not show any significant changes in both shoot and root biomass production. Under Cu excess, high levels of Cu were detected in different parts of the plant in the two symbioses and a high translocation of Cu to aerial parts was shown with the strain S412. Plants with S412 were able to accumulate large quantities of calcium (Ca) in their roots and nodules. While Ca content decreased drastically in shoot at 0.5 mM of Cu treatment. Moreover, nodulation with S412 allowed plants to maintain high levels of magnesium (Mg) in all tissues and high iron (Fe) levels in nodules. Results suggest that this symbiotic pair could be used in phytostabilization of Cu-contaminated soils. 相似文献

The present study evaluated the short-term toxicity of seven selected pesticides: four insecticides (chlorpyrifos, dieldrin, diazinon and pirimiphos-methyl) and three herbicides (diuron, alachlor and atrazine). With this aim, a standard toxicity test with the highly sensitive early life stages (ELS) of a marine fish was used. The turbot, Psetta maxima, is abundant in shallow estuarine and costal habitats and is currently the most commonly cultivated fish species in Galicia, NW Spain. According to the turbot ELS test results, chlorpyrifos was the most toxic pesticide tested for both embryos and larvae and was followed in order of decreasing toxicity by dieldrin, pirimiphos-methyl, diazinon, alachlor, atrazine and diuron. Larvae were more sensitive than embryos to the seven pesticides. The median lethal concentrations of the selected pesticides during a 48- and a 96-h exposure for turbot embryos and larvae were, respectively (in micrograms per litre): chlorpyrifos, 116.6 and 94.65; dieldrin, 146 and 97; pirimiphos-methyl, 560 and 452; diazinon, 1,837 and 1,230; alachlor, 2,177 and 2,233; diuron, 10,076 and 7,826; and atrazine, 11,873 and 9,957. According to their acute toxicity, the insecticides were more toxic than the herbicides. Furthermore, all insecticides and herbicides appear to be teratogenic to turbot ELS. 相似文献

Nasal swabs of 163 healthy sheep were obtained from two farms and one abattoir in Tunisia during 2010. Samples were inoculated in Baird Parker agar and ORSAB medium for Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) recovery, respectively. MRSA was detected in 5 of these 163 samples (3%) in ORSAB medium, and one isolate per sample was further studied. MRSA isolates were mecA-positive, typed as ST153-CC80-t044-agrIII, and contained blaZ, ant(6)-Ia, aph(3')-IIIa, erm(C), tet(K), and fusB genes encoding penicillin, streptomycin, kanamycin, erythromycin, tetracycline and fusidic acid resistance, respectively. These MRSA isolates showed indistinguishable or closely related PFGE-patterns and harboured the lukF/lukS gene encoding the Panton-Valentine leukocidin and the luk-ED, hla, hld, and hlg(v) genes. Methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) were recovered in 68 of the 163 samples (41.7%) and one isolate per sample was characterized. Most of MSSA (82.4%) showed susceptibility to the tested antibiotics with exceptions: penicillin (6%, carrying blaZ gene), tetracycline (19%, carrying tet(K) gene) and fusidic acid (9%). The following toxin-genes were identified among MSSA: tst (53 isolates), luk-M (52), luk-ED, hla, hlb, hld and hlg(v) (67), hlg (1), sec (49), sel (52), and the egc-cluster-like sen-sem-sei-seo-seg (1). Ten spa-types (two of them new ones) and nine sequence types (six new ones) were detected among the 73 S. aureus isolates, and they were ascribed to agr types I and III. All MRSA and MSSA isolates were able to coagulate bovine plasma and MRSA harboured the immune-evasion-gene-cluster type E. Conclusions. Nares of healthy sheep could be a reservoir of PVL-positive community-associated-MRSA and also of TSST-positive S. aureus isolates, with potential implications in public health. 相似文献

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are highly persistent anthropogenic contaminants found in trace amounts in many environmental compartments far from their source areas, posing a risk to aquatic ecosystems. Our objective was to determine the relative toxicities of three BDEs, BDE-47, BDE-99 and BDE-154 on marine phytoplankton algae Isochrysis galbana. For a highly sensitive endpoint: the 72-h inhibition of autotrophic growth rate was calculated according to standards methods. Actual PBDE concentration was measured by GC-MS and toxicity parameters were calculated on the basis of time-weighted mean actual concentrations. No observable effect concentration (NOEC) values were 2.53???g?L?1 for BDE-47, 3.48???g?L?1 for BDE-99 and 12.3???g?L?1 for BDE-154, and LOEC values were 5.06, 6.96 and 24.60???g?L?1 for BDE-47, BDE-99 and BDE-154, respectively. The calculated IC10 (the concentration inhibiting growth rate by 10?%) corresponded to 9.3, 12.78 and 54.6???g?L?1 for BDE-47, BDE-99 and BDE-154, respectively. The 50?% inhibitions of growth rate (IC50) values were: 25.7???g?L?1 BDE-47, 30.0???g?L?1 BDE-99 and 243.7???g?L?1 BDE-154. Therefore, the acute toxicity of PBDEs decreases as the degree of bromination increases, the order of toxicity is BDE-47?>?BDE-99?>?BDE-154. Significant (p?<?0.05) adverse effects were observed for all compounds at concentrations >15???g?L?1. Our results indicated that under laboratory conditions PBDEs inhibited the growth of marine phytoplankton at concentrations near 10???g?L?1. However, further work is required to investigate long-term effects in these and other aquatic organisms. 相似文献

Three genotypes of the model legume Medicago truncatula were assessed for symbiotic effectiveness in cross inoculation with two strains of Sinorhizobium meliloti under mannitol-mediated osmotic stress. Symbioses showed different tolerance levels revealed on plant growth, nitrogen-fixing capacity and indices of nodule functioning and protection. The variability of stress response was essentially correlated with performance at non-stressful conditions. Symbiosis attitude depended on bacterial partner, host-plant genotype and their interaction. Plant genotype manifested the highest contribution to symbiotic efficiency indices under osmotic stress, even for nodulation and nitrogen fixation where the bacterial strain effect is highly pronounced. Contrasting (tolerant/sensitive) associations were identified for tolerance behaviours, involving the same plant genotype with different rhizobial strains and vice versa. In nodules, osmotic stress leads to accumulation of oxidized lipids and decrease in total protein and leghaemoglobin contents. Antioxidant responses were manifested as induction of guaiacol peroxidase (POX, E.C. 1.11.1.7) and superoxide dismutase (E.C. 1.15.1.1). POX induction was higher in tolerant symbioses and both enzymes were suggested as contributors to the protection of nodule integrity and functioning under osmotic stress. In conclusion, symbiotic efficiency in M. truncatula–S. meliloti combinations under osmotic stress is determined by each symbiont's input as well as the plant–microbe genotype interaction, and POX induction could prove a sensitive marker of tolerant symbioses. 相似文献

The biochemical processes underlying the expression of resistance in the roots of Medicago truncatula against Aphanomyces euteiches infection was investigated, with emphasis on oxidative stress. The levels of H2O2, superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, soluble phenolics and lignin were measured in the roots
of two lines, A17 partially resistant and F83005.5 susceptible to A. euteiches at three infection stages; penetration of the epidermis (1 dpi), colonization of the cortex (3 dpi) and invasion of the root
stele (6 dpi). A rapid and large decrease of the H2O2 levels in A17 roots occurred. However, in F83005.5 roots, the decrease in H2O2 levels was delayed until 3 dpi. In A17 roots, the activities of ascorbate peroxidase, peroxidase and catalase were induced
as early as 1 dpi, whereas a general decrease in the activity of the four antioxidant enzymes was observed in F83005.5 roots.
The levels of soluble phenolics and lignin were increased in A17 roots at 3 and 6 dpi, respectively. The H2O2 levels were negatively correlated to ascorbate peroxidase, catalase and lignin production at 1, 3 and 6 dpi, respectively
in A17 roots. Physiological concentrations of H2O2 found in M. truncatula infected roots had no detrimental effect on the in vitro growth of this oomycete. Our data suggest that H2O2 does not have a direct antimicrobial effect on M. truncatula resistance to A. euteiches, but is involved in cell wall strengthening around the root stele, preventing pathogen invasion of the vascular tissues. 相似文献

Infection of equids by Leishmania (L.) parasites was previously described in both the Old and New World, particularly in Central and South America. Equine cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is caused by the Leishmania species, L. Viannia (V.) braziliensis and L. infantum, previously identified in humans and other parasite hosts living in the same geographic endemic areas. Sporadic autochthonous clinical cases, with no travel history, were documented in several countries including Germany, Portugal, Spain, Texas and Brazil; L. infantum and L. (Mundinia) martiniquensis were the infectious species. Prevalence of subclinical infections is extremely low and CL is observed in only a small proportion of infected animals with the appearance of single or multiple cutaneous lesions located on the head, external ear, scrotum, legs and the neck. To date, there has been no report of visceral abnormalities. However, the mild clinical profile of the disease and its spontaneous regression may indicate that skin lesions related to Leishmania infection is underdiagnosed. Importantly, although the prevalence of Leishmania infections in the equine population is low, a risk may rise from its potential involvement in the parasite transmission cycles as a source of infection for phlebotomine vectors and susceptible mammalian hosts. This review article summarises our current knowledge of the epidemiology, clinical presentation and diagnosis of Leishmania-infected equids. 相似文献
