Hu Y, Li J, Li R, Niu Y, Cao M, Luo J. Influence of magnetized water irrigation on characteristics of antioxidant enzyme, ferritin, and Cd excretion in Festuca arundinacea during phytoextraction. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 438:129527. [PMID: 35816798 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2021] [Revised: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/01/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The magnetic field can alter the hydrogen-bond structure and polarity characteristics of water; therefore, we hypothesize that magnetized water can affect plant physiological functions, including metal detoxification and excretion. In this study, the amount of Cd excreted on the leaves of Festuca arundinacea was estimated using magnetized water and normal water irrigation patterns. Irrigation with magnetized water improved the shoot dry weight and Cd content in F. arundinacea by 13.6% and 52.8%, respectively, compared to the control. Magnetized water irrigation also increased antioxidant enzyme activities in plant leaves, thereby alleviating the oxidative damage. The concentration of ferritin was 0.91 folds higher than that of the control, increasing the Fe sequestration and detoxification capacity of F. arundinacea. The amount of Cd excreted was significantly higher under magnetized water irrigation, thereby increasing the annual Cd removal by 109.7% from soil by leaf washing compared with that of the control. In contrast, F. arundinacea irrigated with magnetized water excreted 38.1% less Fe owing to the increase in ferritin levels, compared with that of the control. This study suggests a novel pathway of Cd phytoremediation by rinsing excreted Cd from the leaf surface without harvesting and replanting F. arundinacea.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 303:135046. [PMID: 35618056 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
As magnetic fields constantly act on living and biochemical processes, it is reasonable to hypothesize that magnetic field treatment of plant seeds would enhance the uptake capacity of non-essential elements. To verify this hypothesis, seeds of Brassica juncea were treated with 50, 100, 150, 200, and 400 mT fields, and the dry weight, Cd uptake capacity, ferritin content, antioxidant enzyme activity, and phytoremediation effects of the plant were compared at the end of the experiment. Relative to the control, low- and moderate-intensity fields (50-200 mT) enhanced the dry weight of plant leaves by 15.1%, 24.5%, 35.8%, and 49.1%, respectively, whereas the high-intensity field (400 mT) decreased the biomass yield by 18.9%. The content of Cd in the above-ground tissues of B. juncea enhanced with the increasing field intensity, accompanied by an increase in oxidative damage. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) increased with exposure to low (50 and 100 mT) and moderate (150 and 200 mT) intensities, followed by a reduction at a high intensity (400 mT). Catalase activity (CAT) and ferritin content exhibited an increasing trend with increasing intensity. The Cd decontamination index of B. juncea increased with the increasing magnetic field intensity until it reached a peak at 150 mT, after which the values remained constant. Considering the phytoremediation effect and energy consumption, 150 mT was the optimal scheme for magnetic-field-assisted phytoremediation using B. juncea. This study suggests that a suitable magnetic field can be regarded as an ecologically friendly physical trigger to improve the phytoextraction effect of B. juncea.

Comprehensive characterization and molecular insights into the salt tolerance of a Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase from an Indian Mangrove, Avicennia marina. Sci Rep 2022; 12:1745.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutases are important group of antioxidant metallozyme and play important role in ROS homeostasis in salinity stress. The present study reports the biochemical properties of a salt-tolerant Cu, Zn-superoxide from Avicennia marina (Am_SOD). Am_SOD was purified from the leaf and identified by mass-spectrometry. Recombinant Am_SOD cDNA was bacterially expressed as a homodimeric protein. Enzyme kinetics revealed a high substrate affinity and specific activity of Am_SOD as compared to many earlier reported SODs. An electronic transition in 360-400 nm spectra of Am_SOD is indicative of Cu2+-binding. Am_SOD activity was potentially inhibited by diethyldithiocarbamate and H2O2, a characteristic of Cu, Zn-SOD. Am_SOD exhibited conformational and functional stability at high NaCl concentration as well in alkaline pH. Introgression of Am_SOD in E. coli conferred tolerance to oxidative stress under highly saline condition. Am_SOD was moderately thermostable and retained functional activity at ~ 60 °C. In-silico analyses revealed 5 solvent-accessible N-terminal residues of Am_SOD that were less hydrophobic than those at similar positions of non-halophilic SODs. Substituting these 5 residues with non-halophilic counterparts resulted in > 50% reduction in salt-tolerance of Am_SOD. This indicates a cumulative role of these residues in maintaining low surface hydrophobicity of Am_SOD and consequently high salt tolerance. The molecular information on antioxidant activity and salt-tolerance of Am_SOD may have potential application in biotechnology research. To our knowledge, this is the first report on salt-tolerant SOD from mangrove.

Abstract
A catalase-producing thermophilic bacterium, Ureibacillus thermosphaericus FZSF03, was isolated from high-temperature compost. Catalase production in this strain increased 31 times and reached 57,630U/mL after optimization in a shake flask, which might represent the highest catalase activity level among reported wild strains. This catalase was further purified and identified. The purified enzyme showed a specific activity of 219,360U/mg, higher than many other catalases. The molecular weight of this enzyme is 52kDa according to sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and the enzyme was identified as a monofunctional haeme catalase of Ureibacillus thermosphaericus by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)/MS. The optimal reaction temperature for this catalase was found to be 60°C. Stability was observed at 60°C and at a pH of 10.0, indicating the superiority of this enzyme at a high temperature and under alkaline conditions. Therefore, this catalase is a prospective candidate for industrial production and applications. The gene encoding this catalase is 1503bp. As the amino acid sequence shows low similarity with other catalases, we suggest that this is a novel monofunctional haeme catalase.

Abstract
Catalases are widely used in many scientific areas. A catalase gene (Kat) from Geobacillus sp. CHB1 encoding a monofunctional catalase was cloned and recombinant expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli), which was the first time to clone and express this type of catalase of genus Geobacillus strains as far as we know. This Kat gene was 1,467 bp in length and encoded a catalase with 488 amino acid residuals, which is only 81% similar to the previously studied Bacillus sp. catalase in terms of amino acid sequence. Recombinant catalase was highly soluble in E. coli and made up 30% of the total E. coli protein. Fermentation broth of the recombinant E. coli showed a high catalase activity level up to 35,831 U/mL which was only lower than recombinant Bacillus sp. WSHDZ-01 among the reported catalase production strains. The purified recombinant catalase had a specific activity of 40,526 U/mg and K m of 51.1 mM. The optimal reaction temperature of this recombinant enzyme was 60°C to 70°C, and it exhibited high activity over a wide range of reaction temperatures, ranging from 10°C to 90°C. The enzyme retained 94.7% of its residual activity after incubation at 60°C for 1 hour. High yield and excellent thermophilic properties are valuable features for this catalase in industrial applications.

Purification and characterization of catalase from marine bacterium Acinetobacter sp. YS0810. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 2014:409626.

Abstract
The catalase from marine bacterium Acinetobacter sp. YS0810 (YS0810CAT) was purified and characterized. Consecutive steps were used to achieve the purified enzyme as follows: ethanol precipitation, DEAE Sepharose ion exchange, Superdex 200 gel filtration, and Resource Q ion exchange. The active enzyme consisted of four identical subunits of 57.256 kDa. It showed a Soret peak at 405 nm, indicating the presence of iron protoporphyrin IX. The catalase was not apparently reduced by sodium dithionite but was inhibited by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and sodium azide. Peroxidase-like activity was not found with the substrate o-phenylenediamine. So the catalase was determined to be a monofunctional catalase. N-terminal amino acid of the catalase analysis gave the sequence SQDPKKCPVTHLTTE, which showed high degree of homology with those of known catalases from bacteria. The analysis of amino acid sequence of the purified catalase by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry showed that it was a new catalase, in spite of its high homology with those of known catalases from other bacteria. The catalase showed high alkali stability and thermostability.

Abstract
A catalase gene, ohktA, from an alkali- and halo-tolerant bacterium, Halomonas sp. SK1, on the pKK223-3, was expressed in the catalase-lacking Escherichia coli strain UM2. Highly purified catalase showing a single band on SDS-PAGE was obtained by two liquid chromatography steps on DEAE-Toyopear1 and Chelating-Sepharose Fast Flow. The enzyme, oHktA, shows high catalase activity with a pH optimum at 10, and the activity was stable in 4 M KC1. This enzyme is thermo-sensitive, showing a significant loss of activity within 5 minutes at 37 degrees C. To modify the stability of the catalase, the addition of domain II of the heat stable Mn catalase from Thermus thermophilus to the C-terminus was made. When coexpressed with a chaperone (PhFKBP29) gene product, peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, from a thermophilic bacterium, a chimeric catalase was produced in the soluble fraction. The stability of this catalase in the range of 37 degrees -45 degrees C was improved and it was stable for more than 1 h at 37 degrees C.

Abstract
Catalase plays an important role in the metabolism of marine bacteria and has potential impact on the marine environment. Four PCR primers were designed to amplify the catalase gene fragments in marine bacteria by applying metagenomic DNA from Yellow Sea surface water as the template. Of the four reproducible target PCR products, the longest one with 900 bp were chosen for catalase gene library construction by the T-vector and the white Escherichia coli colonies in the library was screened through restriction-digesting the reamplified insert fragments by the selected restriction endonuclease MboI, and then the bands of the resulting products were displayed in the agarose gel by electrophoresis. The unique restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) pattern was selected and the corresponding catalase gene fragments were sequenced, which verified that every unique RFLP pattern represented one type of catalase. This PCR-RFLP method above was established to investigate the bacterial catalase diversity in seawater.
