“…From relatively inert soil amendments like sulfur and lime to the transport of agricultural and industrial contaminants to foods, methods to measure and control various aspects of ecological stress are essential for crop production, water quality, and environmental health. 10 , 11 Upon exposure to 3-fluoro-4-nitrophenol, Bundy et al demonstrated that relative concentrations of trimethylamine N -oxide and succinate increased in the CF of E. veneta , while malonate and acetate concentrations decreased. The metabolomic impact of endosulfan on the CF and whole-tissue extract of E. fetida was measured via the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) filter paper test.…”

Earthworm metabolism is recognized as a useful tool for monitoring environmental insults and measuring ecotoxicity, yet extensive earthworm metabolic profiling using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been limited in scope. This study aims to expand the embedded metabolic material in earthworm coelomic fluid, coelomocytes, and tissue to aid systems toxicology research. Fifty-nine metabolites within Eisenia fetida were identified, with 47 detected in coelomic fluid, 41 in coelomocytes, and 54 in whole-worm samples and tissue extracts. The newly detected but known metabolites 2-aminobutyrate, nicotinurate, Nδ,Nδ,Nδ-trimethylornithine, and trigonelline are reported along with a novel compound, malylglutamate, elucidated using 2D NMR and high-resolution MS/MS. We postulate that malylglutamate acts as a glutamate/malate store, chelator, and anionic osmolyte and helps to provide electrolyte balance.

“…Pb, Cr, As, Sn, constantly enter ecosystems (waters, soils, and sediments) causing severe environmental and health problems ( Polti et al 2014;Wan et al 2015). Anthropogenic processes associated with domestic, municipal, agricultural, industrial, and military activities represent the major sources while PTEs can also be released from natural geological processes such as weathering and volcanic eruption (Vargas-García et al 2012;Griffith et al 2015). Pollution due to human activities is often the result of extensive histories of multiple land use which creates sites containing mixed pollutants.…”

The saprotrophic fungus Penicillium griseofulvum was chosen as model organism to study responses to a mixture of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers (α-HCH, β-HCH, γ-HCH, δ-HCH) and potentially toxic metals (vanadium, lead) in solid and liquid media. The P. griseofulvum FBL 500 strain was isolated from polluted soil containing high concentrations of HCH isomers and potentially toxic elements (Pb, V). Experiments were performed in order to analyse the tolerance/resistance of this fungus to xenobiotics and to shed further light on fungal potential in inorganic and organic biotransformations. The aim was to examine the ecological and bioremedial potential of this fungus verifying the presence of mechanisms that allow it to transform HCH isomers and metals under different extreme test conditions. To our knowledge, this work is the first to provide evidence on the biotransformation of HCH mixtures, in combination with toxic metals, by a saprotrophic non-white-rot fungus and on the metabolic synergies involved.
