“…Polyfluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkyl, known by the abbreviation PFASs, are a family of emerging contaminants that have recently become a concern (Melzer et al 2010;Gallo et al 2012;Barry et al 2013;Vestergren and Cousins 2013;DeWitt 2015;Xiao 2017;Dong et al 2018;Lorenzo et al 2018;Brusseau 2019;Ng et al 2019;Klemes et al 2019;Pan et al 2020;Salthammer 2020). Perfluoroalkyl substances is a term used for a family of highly fluorinated chemicals (the term perfluorinated compounds can also be found in the literature).…”

“…In recent decades, thanks to significant advances in the analysis and detection of trace contaminants, emerging contaminants have also been detected in plants (due to soil and water pollution), food products, living organisms and protected species (e.g., birds, polar bears), even in areas where there is no human activity (Datta et al 2018;Routti et al 2019).

Over the past two decades, the presence of so-called emerging contaminants in various environmental compartments around the world, such as water, sediments, soils and atmosphere, and in a wide variety of consumer products has become a major concern for society, public health authorities, industry (namely food industry and water sector) and the agricultural sector. Some of these substances are endocrine disruptors and others are proven carcinogens and mutagens. In particular,

“…Chemicals interfering with the endocrine system known as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are pollutants that typically occur in aquatic environments as a result of municipal wastewater discharge, landfill leachates, and agricultural and urban runoff [1]. EDCs are considered a major cause of aquatic wildlife decline and loss of biodiversity [2].…”

An In Silico and In Vitro Study for Investigating Estrogenic Endocrine Effects of Emerging Persistent Pollutants Using Primary Hepatocytes from Grey Mullet (Mugil cephalus)

2021

There is growing concern about the environmentally relevant concentrations of new emerging persistent organic pollutants, such as perfluorinated compounds and pharmaceuticals, which are found to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms at concentrations suspected to cause reproductive toxicity due to the activation of estrogen receptor (ER) α and β subtypes. Here, we use a combined in silico and in vitro approach to evaluate the impact of perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) and Enalapril (ENA) on grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) hepatic estrogen signaling pathway. ENA had weak agonist activity on ERα while PFNA showed moderate to high agonist binding to both ERs. According to these effects, hepatocytes incubation for 48 h to PFNA resulted in a concentration-dependent upregulation of ER and vitellogenin gene expression profiles, whereas only a small increase was observed in ERα mRNA levels for the highest ENA concentration. These data suggest a structure–activity relationship between hepatic ERs and these emerging pollutants.

“…One of the greatest threats to global food security is the massive loss of staple crops to fungal disease (Dean et al, 2012;Fisher et al, 2012). To try to avoid devastating harvest losses, farmers apply increasing amounts of pesticides (Ng et al, 2019). As a result, synthetic pesticides are often found at high levels in soil and water, and accumulate in food webs with increasing toxicity (Damalas and Eleftherohorinos, 2011;Jorgensen et al, 2012;Silva et al, 2019).…”

Exploring the Potential for Fungal Antagonism and Cell Wall Attack by Bacillus subtilis natto

et al. 2020

To develop more ecologically sustainable agricultural practices requires that we reduce our reliance on synthetic chemical pesticides for crop protection. This will likely involve optimized biocontrol approaches -the use of beneficial soil microbes to attack potential plant pathogens to protect plants from diseases. Many bacterial species, including strains of Bacillus subtilis, have been explored for their biocontrol properties, as they can control the growth of harmful fungi, often by disrupting the fungal cell wall. A strain that is not often considered for this particular application is Bacillus subtilis natto, primarily known for fermenting soybeans via cell wall degradation in the Japanese probiotic dish "natto." Because deconstruction of the fungal cell wall is considered an important biocontrol trait, we were motivated to explore the possible anti-fungal properties of the B. subtilis natto strain. We show that B. subtilis natto can use complex fungal material as a carbon source for growth, and can effectively deconstruct fungal cell walls. We found degradation of fungal cell wall proteins, and showed that growth on a mix of peptides was very strong. We also found that intact fungal cell walls can induce the secretion of chitinases and proteases. Surprisingly, we could show that chitin, the bulk component of the fungal cell wall, does not permit successful growth of the natto strain or induce the secretion of chitinolytic enzymes, although these were produced during exposure to proteins or to complex fungal material. We have further shown that protease secretion is likely a constitutively enabled mechanism for nutrient scavenging by B. subtilis natto, as well as a potent tool for the degradation of fungal cell walls. Overall, our data highlight B. subtilis natto as a promising candidate for biocontrol products, with relevant behaviors that can be optimized by altering growth conditions. Whereas it is common for bacterial biocontrol products to be supplied with chitin or chitosan as a priming polysaccharide, our data indicate that this is not a useful approach with this particular bacterium, which should instead be supplied with either glucose or attenuated fungal material.
