Evaluation of the Relevance of Myriophyllum alterniflorum (Haloragaceae) Cadmium-Sensitive Biomarkers for Ecotoxicological Surveys

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology
Raphaël DecouDavid Delmail

Abstract

Toxicity caused by trace metal elements in water is a major concern, leading to environmental disturbances and public health problems. The effect of cadmium on clonal macrophyte populations is poorly documented despite its high level of toxicity among aquatic organisms. Our aim here is to highlight the strong relationship existing between the physiological responses of Myriophyllum alterniflorum and the cadmium level over a long exposure period. Nine potential biomarkers of cadmium stress are tested, with three of them appearing to be highly sensitive: free proline, Hsp70, and malondialdehyde. Long-term follow-up analysis after metal exposure (27 days) also proves to be quite beneficial by providing a detailed overview of ecotoxicological events that is more complete and extensive than data recordings conducted over a few days. Taken together, these results support our initial hypothesis that leads to recommending biomarker analyses over at least 2 weeks of metal exposure.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
