“…For Ni2+, on the other hand, the literature is consistent with the findings of the present study. The cellular growth of Ankistrodesmus falcatus over 96 h has been found to be inhibited by Ni2+ concentrations of 30, 60, and 120 µg*L −1 ( Martínez-Ruiz & Martínez-Jerónimo, 2015 ). These concentrations are substantially below those applied in the present study.…”

The use of microalgae in biotechnological processes has received much attention worldwide. This is primarily due to the fact that they are inexpensive to grow, requiring only sunlight and CO2, whilst lending themselves to a range of uses, such as to reduce CO2 levels, as fish feed, in biofuel production, for the generation of secondary metabolites of interest, and in bioremediation. These features mean that microalgae are excellent candidates for the implementation of a range of eco-friendly technologies. Here, we investigated the behavior and feasibility of the use of the microalgal strain Tetraselmis marina AC16-MESO against heavy metal contamination focused on potential use in bioremediation. The following key parameters were recorded: (i) the sedimentation efficiency, which reached 95.6% after five hours of decantation; (ii) the ion tolerance (Ca2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Mn2+ and Ni2+) at concentrations of 0.1, 1.0, 5.0, 10.0 and 20.0 mg*L−1 and (iii) ion removal efficiency (Cu2+, Fe3+ and Mn2+). Our results indicated a higher tolerance for iron and calcium (20 ± 1.10 mg*L−1; 100 ± 8.10 mg*L−1), partial to nickel, manganese and copper (4.4 ± 0.10 mg*L−1; 4.4 ± 0.15 mg*L−1; 5 ± 1.25 mg*L−1) and less for cobalt (0.1 ± 0.20 mg*L−1). Moreover, removal efficiency of 40–90% for Cu2+, 100% for Fe3+, and 20–50% for Mn2+ over a 72 hours period, for ion concentrations of 1.0 and 5.0 mg*L−1.

“…Due to the variation in the mechanisms involved in the organisms when they are exposed to the pollutant, results interpretation from a combination of the biomarkers has more advantage than interpreting single biomarker results. As results interpretation from multi-biomarker could provide the overall impact of a specific pollutant (i.e., STX), the integrated biomarker responses (IBRs), as an indicator of environment stress, has been widely used in stress responses and ecological risk assessment of marine pollutants including toxins ( Beliaeff and Burgeot, 2002 ; Wang et al, 2011 , 2018 ; Pain-Devin et al, 2014 ; Yan et al, 2014 ; Martínez-Ruiz and Martínez-Jerónimo, 2015 , 2017 ; Nogueira et al, 2015 ; Meng et al, 2016 ; Teles et al, 2016 ; Vieira et al, 2016 ; Devin et al, 2017 ; Duarte et al, 2017 ; Li et al, 2017 ; Luna-Acosta et al, 2017 ; Sanchez-García et al, 2017 ; Sobjak et al, 2017 ; Valerio-García et al, 2017 ). In addition, the integrated approach combining conventional toxicological bioassays with predictive biomarkers in native mussels might represent an additional tool for Control Agencies and Administrators dealing with management of human risk and economical damage caused by STX secreted by harmful algal blooms ( Beliaeff and Burgeot, 2002 ).…”

Integrative Biomarker Assessment of the Influence of Saxitoxin on Marine Bivalves: A Comparative Study of the Two Bivalve Species Oysters, Crassostrea gigas, and Scallops, Chlamys farreri

et al. 2018

Harmful algae blooms have expanded greatly in recent decades, and their secreted toxins pose a severe threat to human health and marine ecosystems. Saxitoxin (STX) is a main paralytic shellfish poison naturally produced by marine microalgae of the genus Alexandrium. Despite numerous studies have assessed the impacts of STX on marine bivalves, comparative in vivo study on the toxicity of STX on bivalves with distinct accumulation ability (such as oysters and scallops) has been seldom investigated. The aim of this study was to identify whether distinct sensitivity exists between oysters, Crassostrea gigas, and scallops, Chlamys farreri under the same amount of STX exposure using multiple biomarker responses. The responses of different biochemical markers including oxidative stress markers (catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione S-transferase, and lipid peroxidation) and immunotoxicity biomarkers (hemocyte phagocytosis rate, reactive oxidative species production, and DNA damages) were evaluated in bivalves after 12, 48, and 96 h of exposure to STX. The integrated biomarker responses value combined with two-way ANOVA analysis suggested that STX posed slightly severer stress on scallops than oysters for the extended period of time. This study provided preliminary results on the usefulness of a multi-biomarker approach to assess the toxicity associated with STX exposure in marine bivalves.

“…Nickel (Ni) is essential for some enzymatic activities therefore indispensable for cyanobacteria, however, various reports suggests its negative impact at high concentrations through impairment of photosynthetic system and growth . Major anthropogenic sources responsible for increment in Ni 2+ level into environment are energy supplying power stations (coal burning power plants, petroleum combustion, and nuclear power stations), mining and associated activities, disposal of NiCd batteries, chemical industries (planting, metal finishing, pigment production, and cement manufacturing) .…”

In recent years, release of chemical pollutants has increased due to anthropogenic activities. Heterocystous filamentous cyanobacteria constitute dominant paddy microflora and are excellent biofertilizers augmenting rice productivity. Cyanobacteria are frequently exposed to toxic metals, nickel and arsenic are one of the major toxicants present. We exposed two species of diazotrophic cyanobacteria Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 and Anabaena doliolum, to sub-lethal concentrations (15.0 and 9.0 μM) of Ni and (17.0 and 11 mM) of arsenite (AsIII) and analyzed at different days of treatments (0, 1, 7, and 15 days) for oxidative damage and antioxidative biomarkers. Lipid peroxidation was enhanced (1.5- to 2.5-fold increase in MDA content), indicating damaging effects of Ni and As(III) on membrane. Although Ni and As(III), both induced oxidative stress in both species, Anabaena PCC 7120 experienced less stress than A. doliolum. This could be explained by a higher activity of antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR) in Anabaena PCC 7120 (4.6-, 2.0- and 1.4-fold [Ni ] 3.2-, 2.5-, and 2.08-fold [As]) compared to A. doliolum (4.2-, 2.5-, and 1.3-fold [Ni ] and 3.2-, 3.33-, and 1.8-fold [As]). Moreover, superoxide dismutase registered less inhibition in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 (1.5 and 1.8) compared to A. doliolum (1.8 and 2.3) under Ni and As(III) stress. In addition to, IBR revealed that As(III) imposes severe impact on both strain, however, A. doliolum suffers most. Therefore, the study demonstrates interspecies variation in survival strategy of two Anabaena species and difference in potential of two different toxicants to produce oxidative stress.
