RESUMO

In this study, the biosorption ability of various potentially toxic elements from phosphate-processing effluent (PPE) using the indigenous bacterium Serratia rubidaea NCTC12971 immobilized in Ca-alginate beads was investigated. The experimental data analyzed by the Langmuir isotherm revealed that the optimum dose of 2 g·100 ml−1 of immobilized S. rubidaea NCTC12971 at pH 7 and a contact time of 48 h allowed the removal of 92.07%, 98.05%, 95.57%, and 88.39% of lead (Pb (II)), cadmium (Cd (II)), copper (Cu (II)), and zinc (Zn (II)), respectively. Moreover, under the Langmuir isotherm, the maximum single-layer adsorption capacity (qmax) of the biosorbent was estimated to 32.14 mg g−1, 45.87 mg g−1, 0.06 mg g−1, and 3.01 mg g−1 for Pb (II), Cd (II), Cu (II), and Zn (II), respectively, under the stated conditions. Alternatively, the regeneration and reuse of the Ca-alginate beads was evaluated. Indeed, after four consecutive adsorption–desorption cycles, there was no significant loss in the biosorption capacity. The effectiveness of the bacterial biosorption as treatment process was evaluated by assessing the phytotoxicity of the treated effluent (TE) on Medicago sativa and Lactuca sativa seed germination and their root elongation. Results exhibited a significant toxicity removal expressed by a notable increase in the germination indices (GI), which reach 80% and 70%, respectively, for Medicago sativa and Lactuca sativa compared to the GI values of 46.6% and 16.6% of the same species in presence of the untreated effluent (PPE).(AU)

RESUMO

The effect of oxygen on the germination and culturability of aerobic Bacillus atrophaeus spores was investigated in this study. Under oxic or anoxic conditions, various nutritional and non-nutritional germinants were utilized to induce germination. Tb3+-dipicolinic acid fluorescence assay and phase-contrast microscopy were used to track the germination process. The final germination level, germination half time, and germination speed were used to define germination kinetics. Colony-forming unit enumeration was used to assess the culturability of germinated spores germinated with or without oxygen. The results show that in the absence of oxygen, the final germination level was unaffected, germination half time decreased by up to 35.0%, germination speed increased by up to 27.4%, and culturability decreased by up to 95.1%. It is suggested that oxygen affects some germinant receptor-dependent germination pathways, implying that biomolecules engaged in these pathways may be oxygen-sensitive. Furthermore, spores that have completed the germination process in either anoxic or oxic conditions may have different culturability. This research contributed to a better understanding of the fundamental mechanism of germination.(AU)

RESUMO

La división Ascomycota comprende alrededor del 75% de las especies fúngicas descritas e incluye especies de enorme importancia médica, fitosanitaria, agrícola y biotecnológica. La capacidad para propagarse, explorar y colonizar nuevos sustratos es una característica de vital importancia para este grupo de organismos. En ese sentido, procesos como la germinación conidial, la extensión de las hifas y la esporulación constituyen el eje central del desarrollo en la mayoría de los hongos filamentosos. Estos procesos requieren de una maquinaria morfogénica especializada, coordinada y regulada por mecanismos que aún están siendo dilucidados. En los últimos años se ha avanzado sustancialmente en la comprensión del papel que desempeña la ruta de señalización mediada por proteínasG heterotriméricas en los procesos biológicos básicos de diversos hongos filamentosos. Por lo anterior, esta revisión se enfoca en el papel que desempeñan las subunidades alfa de dichas proteínas en los procesos morfogénicos de los hongos filamentosos de la división Ascomycota (AU)


The phylum Ascomycota comprises about 75% of all the fungal species described, and includes species of medical, phytosanitary, agricultural, and biotechnological importance. The ability to spread, explore, and colonise new substrates is a feature of critical importance for this group of organisms. In this regard, basic processes such as conidial germination, the extension of hyphae and sporulation, make up the backbone of development in most filamentous fungi. These processes require specialised morphogenic machinery, coordinated and regulated by mechanisms that are still being elucidated. In recent years, substantial progress has been made in understanding the role of the signalling pathway mediated by heterotrimericG proteins in basic biological processes of many filamentous fungi. This review focuses on the role of the alpha subunits of heterotrimericG proteins in the morphogenic processes of filamentous Ascomycota (AU)

RESUMO

La microencapsulación de organismos ha sido considerada como una alternativa de inmovilización de células, a fin de que éstas puedan ejercer sus funciones en forma gradual. El objetivo del presente estudio fue elaborar microesferas de Bacillus subtilis ya sea en forma esporulada como vegetativa.Microesferas de Bacillus subtilis son preparadas utilizando alginato de sodio. Algunas propiedades típicas del sistema microencapsulado, tales como contenido de microorganismos, tamaño de partícula y tiempo de germinación han sido estudiados. Las microesferas se prepararon mediante el método de coaservación-separación de fases, utilizando una etapa intermedia de emulsión múltiple. Las condiciones de preparación han sido lo suficientemente benignas para no producir cambios en las propiedades biológicas generales del sistema, pero con la protección que le otorga la matriz del hidrogel, la cual evita la directa comunicación con el medio externo.La viabilidad demostrada por las microesferas con las formas esporuladas fue significativamente superior a las de las formas vegetativas (AU)
