There is a pressing need for high throughput methods to assess potential effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). released into the environment. Currently our ability to identify effects in vitro exceeds that for in vivo monitoring. However, only in vivo analysis provides the full spectrum of physiological impacts exerted by a given chemical. With the aim of finding a physiological system compatible with automatic plate reading we tested the capacity of early embryonic stage Xenopus laevis tadpoles to monitor thyroid hormone (TH) disruption. Fluorescent transgenic X. laevis embryos bearing a TH/bZIP-eGFP construct, placed in 96 well plates, were used for a physiological-based screen for potential TH signaling disruptors. Using stage NF-45 embryos (time of thyroid gland formation) allowed rapid detection of chemical interference with both peripheral TR signaling and production of endogenous TH. Nanomolar concentrations of TH receptor agonists could be detected within 72 h. Moreover, when testing against a 5nM T3 challenge, the effects of inhibitors of TH production were revealed, including inhibitors of TH synthesis, (methimazole: 1 mM or sodium perchlorate: 3.56 microM), as well as antagonists acting at the receptor level (NH3: 2 microM) and a deiodinase inhibitor (iopanoic acid: 10 microM). Finally, we show that the thyroid disrupting activities of BPA (10 microM) and TBBPA (1 microM) can also be detected in this rapid screening protocol. Finally, this noninvasive technology using an automatic reading system shows low variability (around 5%) and permits detection of subtle changes in signaling by EDCs that either inhibit or activate TH signaling in vivo. 相似文献

In Algeria, little information is available on the population structure of Aspergillus section Flavi in raw materials and resultant animal feeds. A total of 172 isolates belonging to Aspergillus section Flavi were recovered from 57 animal feeds and identified on the basis of macro and micro-morphological characters, mycotoxin production and genetic relatedness. For the molecular analysis, sequencing of the calmodulin gene (CaM) and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions were performed for representative isolates. Four distinct morphotypes were distinguished: Aspergillus flavus (78.5%), Aspergillus tamarii (19.2%), Aspergillus parasiticus (1.7%), and Aspergillus alliaceus (0.6%). All A. flavus isolates were of the L type and no correlation between sclerotia production and aflatoxigenicity was observed. Our results showed that 68% of the A. flavus strains produced aflatoxins B (AFB), and 72.7% were cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) producers. The three isolates of A. parasiticus were able to produce AFB and aflatoxins G but not CPA whereas, all the strains of A. tamarii produced only CPA. The obtained results revealed the presence of different species of Aspergillus section Flavi, among which were aflatoxin producers. This study provides evidence useful for considerations in aflatoxin control strategies. 相似文献

The lactic acid bacteria from dried El-Klila, an Algerian traditional cheese were studied, The cheese was also examined for chemical and physical characteristics. The isolated strains from sample K1 belonged to Enterococcus faecalis , Enterococcus faecium , Lactobacillus confusus and Streptococcus sp. Enterococci were the most frequently found. However, the isolates from sample K3 were identified as Pediococcus sp, Pediococcus acidilactici , Lactobacillus sp, Streptococcus sp and Leuconostoc sp. Pediococci were the predominant strains. The samples had high protein content (538·5 g kg−1 for K1 and 549·8 g kg−1 for K3) and considered as extra-hard cheese. 相似文献

This paper reports a study of pollution in the coastal waters of Jijel, Algeria, using algae Ulva lactuca and Corallina officinalis as bioindicators. Samples of seawater and algae were collected at four different stations from the coast of Jijel, during the period of April–June 2014. The heavy metal content (Pb and Zn) was determined in seawater and in the algae tissue by the technique of atomic absorption spectrophotometry. In seawater, the contents of heavy metals vary from 0.017 to 0.03 mg/l (Pb) and 0.235 to 0.873 mg/l. In the algae tissues, metals concentrations vary between 1.88 to 6.25 μg g?1 dry weight (Pb), and from 92 to 178.9 μg g?1 dry weight (Zn). These levels differ by site and species. The calculation of the bioconcentration factor (BCF) leads us to conclude that algae bioaccumulate significant levels of Pb and Zn metals in their tissues. Our results shows that the species of C. officinalis bioaccumulate the metals Pb and Zn more than U. lactuca, where, high biosorption of Zn was observed with BCF values between 203.21 and 238.40. Zn content in seawater and algae tissues appear higher than standards set by USEPA and guides values of Certified Reference Materials, but Pb levels appear lower than this standard. 相似文献

Composite materials that combine the lithium exchanging material LiCoO2 and the conductive polymer poly(aniline) (PANI) have been investigated regarding their possible application to electrode materials of lithium batteries. Such composite materials have been prepared by means of polymerization of aniline in acidic suspensions of LiCoO2 particles. PANI was synthesized by oxidative polymerization of aniline by ammonium persulfate in the presence of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) as a micellar template and dopant. The composite material consisted in LiCoO2 particles dispersed in a continuous matrix of PANI. The ribbon-like morphology of the powdered material was distinctly different of the morphologies of the parent materials. The conductive material had conductivity close to that of PANI because the LiCoO2 content of the composite material was low. The presence of the poorly conductive inorganic phase caused a significant loss of conductivity, showing that LiCoO2 blocked electronic transfers between PANI crystallites. Ammonium persulfate caused the loss of lithium from LiCoO2 when it was used at high concentration in the polymerization recipe. In this case a new phase made of Co3O4 formed by chemical decomposition of LixCoO2. Thin films prepared from stable suspensions of composite materials in water show comparable electrical performance to that measured for bulk materials. 相似文献

Peptides obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of fish proteins exhibit not only nutritional but also biological properties of dietary uses, or even therapeutic potential. The objective of the present study was to isolate and characterize peptides from the protein hydrolysates of barbel muscle with antibacterial activity against Gram-positive (Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus cereus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter sp.) bacteria. Barbel muscle protein hydrolysates (BMPHs), obtained by treatment with Alcalase® (DH = 6.6%), was fractionated by size exclusion chromatography on a Sephadex G-25 and purified by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The molecular masses and amino acid sequences of these peptides were determined using ESI–MS and ESI–MS/MS, respectively. Eleven peptides in FII-1, FII-2, FII-3 and FII-4 sub-fractions separated by RP-HPLC were identified. The most active peptide fraction (FII-3) contained three peptides: Ala–Ala–Ala–Leu; Ala–Ala–Gly–Gly–Val and Ala–Ala–Val–Lys–Met. 相似文献

Kaolin porous support ceramic was prepared from kaolin. The characterization of the porous properties and structure of the support synthesis was carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), absorption rate, shrinkage rate and Hg-porosimetry methods. The pore size distribution showed a unimodal pore size distribution with an average pore size of about 0.9 µm. The reliability of support was measured by filtration tests and removal of heavy metals.Filtration studies using porous tubular supports were performed for solutions containing methylene blue and Evans blue. The study of the liquid filtration and flow through these supports showed that the methylene blue rejection rate was 99% while the Evans blue rate reached 90% for a 90 minute filtration time under a pressure of 2 bar. We beforehand tested the flow rate for each support with distilled water and the results show that the support of kaolin gave a flux for distilled water of 31.0 L/h at the pressure of 2 bar. At a pressure of 3.5 bar an increase in the distilled water flux through the support was observed.The rejection rate of cadmium ions was more significant. A rejection rate of 99.99% using a 10− 4 mol/L solution of this heavy metal for two-hour treatment time was obtained. 相似文献

Crystals of NaEuP2O7 have been grown by the flux technique and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Single crystal structure of NaEuP2O7 has been solved, for the first time; it crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/n space group with lattice parameters : a = 5.238(2), b = 8.443(4), c = 12.486(6) Å, β = 91.404°(2), V = 552.0(4) Å3, Z = 4. The crystal structure has been refined yielding a final R(F2) =0.049 and Rw(F2) = 0.138 for 1313 independent reflections (Fo2 ≥ 2σ(Fo2)). In this structure, the PO4 tetrahedral are linked by bridging oxygen to give P2O7 groups, these groups are connected to the EuO8 polyhedron by sharing two oxygen corners to form three-dimensional framework in which channels are noticed and where the sodium ions are located. The frequencies of the vibrational modes of the crystal were obtained from measurements of the infrared spectra. 相似文献
