Endogenous phthalates as a prospective regulator of interspecific relations in a biocoenosis

Abstract: It is widely believed that phthalates are xenobiotic pollutants whose prevalence in the environment is associated with their facilitated diffusion from plastic materials. Studies into the effect of synthetic phthalates on living organisms revealed their extremely negative action on the metabolism of animals and humans. The acting mechanism of these compounds is realised through a ligand-receptor pathway. Along with dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls and similar compounds, phthalates are classified as endocrine… Show more

“…PAEs are usually considered to be industrial pollutants, exogenous substances that are hazardous to humans, but recently there has also been evidence of their biogenic origin. PAEs are reported to possess allelopathic, antimicrobial, insecticidal, and other biological activities, which might enhance the competitiveness of plants, algae, and microorganisms to better accommodate biotic and abiotic stress [20,47]. These compounds have been found in red [48] and freshwater algae, cyanobacteria [49], fungi [50], and higher plants of various families.…”

“…Water bodies pollution with household plastic is considered as one of probable PAEs sources in aquatic environment. However, as it was shown in model experiments [15], colonies of microorganisms, which recycle PAEs incoming from plastic develop in water bodies on plastic surfaces. As rates of PAEs diffusion and biodegradation are comparable, only a part of their amount diffuses into water.…”

“…Six PAEs: di-methyl phthalate (DMP), di-ethyl phthalate (DEP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and di-n-octyl phthalate (DOP) are considered as priority ones and are to be permanently controlled in the environment. It is shown at the same time that PAEs possess an allopathic activity, antimicrobial and insecticide properties, which increase competitiveness of plants, algae and microorganisms [15].…”

“…Recent studies suggest a probable biosynthesis of PAEs by different plants, freshwater algae, cyanobacteria, and fungi [15]. PAEs are reported to possess allopathic activity and antimicrobial and insecticide properties, which increase the competitiveness of plants, algae, and microorganisms [19]. PAEs detected in surface water at trace levels are evidently related not just to anthropogenic pollutants, as they can accumulate from both abiogenic and biogenic sources, and the contributions of these two may be comparable in magnitude.…”
