RESUMO

Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world. There is still no complete clarity about the degree of its genotoxicity and mutagenicity. In addition, its effect on bacterial biofilms, the main life form of soil microbial communities, has not been adequately studied. Toxicity and mutagenicity, as well as changes in the bacterial biofilm biomass, physiological activity, and the number of living cells in its composition in the presence of glyphosate were assessed using the Escherichia coli model. To assess damage to cellular components under the action of this pesticide, luminescent whole-cell bacterial lux-biosensors were used. Changes in the level of mutagenesis were studied by the method of rifampicin mutants. High integral toxicity of glyphosate, the average level of increased oxidative stress and protein damage were shown with the help of bacterial biosensors. All the studied concentrations of the pesticide completely or partially suppress the matrix and structure of the E. coli CDC F-50 biofilm formation, as well as the bacterial cells metabolic activity in the biofilm. At the concentrations of 6.7 and 0.67 g/L, glyphosate suppresses mutagenesis, probably due to general suppression of metabolism, and at the concentration of 0.0067 g/L, it enhances mutagenesis by six times compared with the spontaneous level. Suppression of bacterial biofilms formation, toxic effects on microorganisms, and mutagenesis enhancement by glyphosate can lead to negative consequences for natural microbiomes.

RESUMO

For a better understanding of the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in natural microbial communities, it is necessary to study the factors influencing it. There are not enough studies showing the connection of some pollutants with the dissemination of ARGs and especially few works on the effect of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAHs) on the spread of resistance in microbiocenosis. In this respect, the aim of the study was to determine the effect of bioaccessible PAHs on soil resistome. The toxicity and the content of bioaccessible PAHs and ARGs were studied in 64 samples of soils of different types of land use in the Rostov Region of Russia. In most soils, a close positive correlation was demonstrated between different ARGs and bioaccessible PAHs with different content of rings in the structure. Six of the seven studied ARGs correlated with the content of 2-, 3-, 4-, 5- or 6-ring PAHs. The greatest number of close correlations was found between the content of PAHs and ARGs in the soils of protected areas, for agricultural purposes, and in soils of hospitals. The diverse composition of microbial communities in these soils might greatly facilitate this process. A close correlation between various toxic effects identified with a battery of whole-cell bacterial biosensors and bioaccessible PAHs of various compositions was established. This correlation showed possible mechanisms of PAHs' influence on microorganisms (DNA damage, oxidative stress, etc.), which led to a significant increase in horizontal gene transfer and spread of some ARGs in soil microbial communities. All this information, taken together, suggests that bioaccessible PAHs can enhance the spread of antibiotic resistance genes.

RESUMO

The present study aims to analyze the level and total toxicity of the most common pollutants in surface sediments and assess their impact on the occurrence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the Sea of Azov. Biotesting using the whole-cell bacterial lux-biosensors showed high integral toxicity of surface sediments and the presence of genotoxicants and substances that cause oxidative stress and protein damage. Using cluster analysis, it was shown that the distribution of pollutants in the Sea of Azov depends on the type of surface sediments. The relative abundance and distribution of 14 ARGs in surface sediments were shown. Principle component analyses results suggest that non-corresponding contaminants do not exert direct influence on the ARGs abundance in the surface sediments of the Sea of Azov. Thus, the need to investigate the significance of non-corresponding pollutants in the selection and distribution of ARGs in the aquatic environment remains a pressing problem.
