“…The current research estimated that the total protein content increased after being treated with azo dyes. This result was comparable with the outcomes of Amamra et al [49], who observed an increase in the total protein rates in a dose-dependent approach when studying the impact of an insecticide, cypermethrin, on the ciliate Paramecium tetraurelia. The presence of xenobiotics in the cell promotes the protein synthesis of several enzymes and corresponds to their capacity to metabolize and detoxify harmful substances.…”

Azo dyes in textile industry effluent are one of the major toxic contaminants causing a severe threat to life. Bioremediation is the most cost-effective and environmentally beneficial innovative biotechnologically technique used to mitigate dyes’ toxic effects in aquatic environments. The purpose of the present study was to determine the azo dyes degradation potential of a ciliate, Paramecium caudatum, isolated from industrial wastewater. Under optimum conditions, P. caudatum was found to possess a 90.86% decolorizing ability of RR2 (reactive red), 83.06% of RB5 (reactive blue) and 85.43% of LY (Levafix reactive yellow) dyes. The P. caudatum showed maximum growth at 25 °C and pH 7.5 in the presence of azo dyes at a concentration of 20 ppm (0.02 mg/mL). After being exposed to RR2, RB5, and LY azo dyes, the level of GSH in P. caudatum increased for the control i.e., 54, 43, and 23%, respectively. Sequentially, the GSSG level decreased by 26% after treatment with the LY azo dye, while exposure to RR2 and RB5 enhanced the value by more than twofold and by 0.86%. The results for the decolorization and biodegradation of azo dyes indicated that P. caudatum is a potential candidate for the treatment of textile industry effluents.

The objective of this study was to assess the toxicity of two pesticides (Prosaro® XRT and Decis® EC 25) widely used in the agricultural region of El-Tarf located in northeastern Algeria, as well as their combinations on a variety of durum wheat “Triticum durum Desf”. The toxicity of these products was evaluated using physiological (chlorophyll) and biochemical parameters (proteins, glutathione, catalase activity and glutathione S-transferase, acetylcholine esterase, lipoxygenase). The recommended dose and its double were tested individually and in combination for this. It should be noted that the protocol used and the initial concentrations selected are the same as those used in the field. After D7 and D14 of exposure, all dosages were administered. The results obtained revealed a decrease in chlorophyll contents and Glutathione levels as well as an induction of total proteins and the different enzymatic activity (catalase, glutathione S-transferase, lipooxygenase) and this for the two root and leaf compartments. Thus, it turns out that the concentrations used in open fields are not harmful to the plant but generate free radicals which are taken care of by the latter’s defense system, thus allowing it to tolerate these stress conditions.
