ABSTRACT:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the consequences of bisphenol A (BPA) exposure in zebrafish (Danio rerio). Short-term effects at a testes level were assessed by means of different biomarkers in 60 male zebrafish exposed for 14 days in aquariums to different concentrations of BPA (1, 10, 100 and 1000 µg/l) in addition to a control batch. The LC-MS/MS method was used for the quantification of BPA. The BPA levels in the zebrafish tissues increased together with increasing exposure of fish to BPA. Several alterations were observed in the zebrafish testes. Particularly notable morphological changes included, a pronounced degeneration of all cell components, an increase in the percentage of the sustentacular (Sertoli) cells, and a marked decrease in the percentage of germ cells starting from concentrations of 100 µg/l of BPA. Our results indicate that histopathology and testes morphometry are sensitive biomarkers for the analysis of early effects of an environmental concentration of BPA in zebrafish experimental models. Our observations reveal that the nature and intensity of the morphological changes in the testes are concentration-dependent in the case of BPA, and manifest as adverse effects on the fish's reproductive health.

“…Bacterial community is readily catabolized to BPA, and BPA-degrading bacterial strains were isolated and identified from various environments (Kang et al 2006a). BPA degradation by bacterial strains played a major role in the decomposition of BPA in the environment (Dorn et al 1987;Staples et al 1998), and biodegradation has also been proved to be an effective way to remove BPA from water, sediment, and soil. The information about BPA degradation by bacteria can, not only supply new techniques to remove BPA from the environment, but also improve our understanding of the fate of BPA in the environment.…”

“…Bacteria-mediated BPA degradation BPA in the environment is mainly decomposed by a variety of microorganisms (Dorn et al 1987;Staples et al 1998). More and more BPA-degrading bacteria were isolated, identified, characterized, and used to treat BPA in WWTPs (Kang et al 2006a;Melcer and Klecka 2011).…”

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an important monomer in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics, food cans, and other daily used chemicals. Daily and worldwide usage of BPA and BPA-contained products led to its ubiquitous distribution in water, sediment/soil, and atmosphere. Moreover, BPA has been identified as an environmental endocrine disruptor for its estrogenic and genotoxic activity. Thus, BPA contamination in the environment is an increasingly worldwide concern, and methods to efficiently remove BPA from the environment are urgently recommended. Although many factors affect the fate of BPA in the environment, BPA degradation is mainly depended on the metabolism of bacteria. Many BPA-degrading bacteria have been identified from water, sediment/soil, and wastewater treatment plants. Metabolic pathways of BPA degradation in specific bacterial strains were proposed, based on the metabolic intermediates detected during the degradation process. In this review, the BPA-degrading bacteria were summarized, and the (proposed) BPA degradation pathway mediated by bacteria were referred.
