Rapid Biotransformation of Arsenate into Oxo-Arsenosugars by a Freshwater Unicellular Green Alga,Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Abstract: We examined the short-term metabolic processes of arsenate for 24 h in a freshwater unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii wild-type strain CC-125. The arsenic species in the algal extracts were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography/inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry after water extraction using a sonicator. Speciation analyses of arsenic showed that the levels of arsenite, arsenate, and methylarsonic acid in the cells rapidly increased for 30 min to 1 h, and those of dimeth… Show more

“…In other pteridophytes, however, exposure to As resulted in increased chlorophyll and carotenoid production, in Pteris vittata, and a decrease in the content of these pigments in Pteris ensiformis (Sing et al, 2006). In the biotransformation test, the chlorophyll Potential of macrophyte for removing arsenic from aqueous solution contents of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells were reduced to zero in the presence of As (V), indicating that such cells were unable to grow under ≥ 0.5 mM after 12 h exposure (Miyashita et al, 2011).…”

“…The cells were solubilised as described previously. [24] Briefly, the cells were predigested in the presence of conc. HNO 3 , and then completely solubilised in a closed-vessel microwave digestion system (speedwave MWS-3 þ ; Berghof) after addition of hydrogen peroxide.…”

“…Total As analysis was accomplished by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS, ELAN DRC-e; PerkinElmer SCIEX Inc., Concord, Canada) following previously reported procedures. [24] The following ICP-MS conditions were applied for specific determination of As (as AsO þ at m/z 91) and zirconium (as ZrO þ at m/z 106): RF power, 1600 W; nebuliser gas flow, 1.05 L min À1 ; auxiliary gas flow, 1.4 L min À1 ; plasma gas flow, 18 L min À1 ; cell gas flow, 0.7 mL min À1 oxygen (purity: 99.999 %); rejection parameter a (RPa), 0; rejection parameter q (RPq), 0.25 (ZrO þ ) and 0.55 (AsO þ ); axial field voltage, 250 V. Dynamic reaction cell (DRC) mode was used for the speciation analysis as well as total As analysis. Both analyses were performed, after optimisation of the oxygen gas flow rate into the cell.…”
