High Tolerance of Hydrogenothermus marinus to Sodium Perchlorate.

ABSTRACT: On Mars, significant amounts (0.4-0.6%) of perchlorate ions were detected in dry soil by the Phoenix Wet Chemistry Laboratory and later confirmed with the Mars Science Laboratory. Therefore, the ability of Hydrogenothermus marinus, a desiccation tolerant bacterium, to survive and grow in the presence of perchlorates was determined. Results indicated that H. marinus was able to tolerate concentrations of sodium perchlorate up to 200 mM ( 1.6%) during cultivation without any changes in its growth pattern. After the addition of up to 440 mM ( 3.7%) sodium perchlorate, H. marinus showed significant changes in cell morphology; from single motile short rods to long cell chains up to 80 cells. Furthermore, it was shown that the known desiccation tolerance of H. marinus is highly influenced by a pre-treatment with different perchlorates; additive effects of desiccation and perchlorate treatments are visible in a reduced survival rate. These data demonstrate that thermophiles, especially H. marinus, have so far, unknown high tolerances against cell damaging treatments and may serve as model organisms for future space experiments.

Transcriptomic fingerprints of C. elegans exposed to sodium perchlorate.

Project description:The excessive perchlorate utilization as an oxidizer in rocket propellants and blasting agents had led to the contamination of surface and ground waters. This chemical is known to compete with iodine for binding to the thyroid membrane receptors potentially causing hypothyroidism and fetal retardation in pregnant women. Nevertheless, to date, its biological effects are not completely understood. We have investigated the molecular mechanisms responsive to perchlorate in the nematode C. elegans to nominate a candidate gene for further peruse in the development of a C.elegans perchlorate biosensor. Perchlorate (1 mg/mL) affected the transcriptional response of Regulation of developmental process, growth, defense mechanisms and stress response, among other biological processes.

(4,7,13,16,21,24-Hexaoxa-1,10-diaza-bicyclo-[8.8.8]hexa-cosa-ne)sodium perchlorate.

Project description:The title compound, [Na(C(18)H(36)N(2)O(6))]ClO(4), was isolated and crystallized to understand more fully the ligand's binding specificity to cations. The cation and anion reside at an inter-section of crystallographic twofold and threefold axes. The carbon atoms in the cation are disordered over two positions in a 3:2 ratio, and the anion is equally disordered over two positions. The geometries of the cation and anion are typical. The compound packs in alternating sheets of discrete cations and anions stacked along the c axis, separated by a distance equal to one-sixth the length of the c axis.

Sodium perchlorate induces non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in developing stickleback.

Project description:Perchlorate is a pervasive, water-soluble contaminant that competitively inhibits the sodium/iodide symporter, reducing the available iodide for thyroid hormone synthesis. Insufficient iodide uptake can lead to hypothyroidism and metabolic syndromes. Because metabolism, obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are tightly linked, we hypothesized that perchlorate would act as an obesogen and cause NAFLD via accumulation of lipids in liver of developing threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus). We performed an upshift/downshift exposure regime (clean water to perchlorate treated water or perchlorate treated water to clean water) on stickleback embryos at two concentrations (30 mg/L and 100 mg/L) plus the control (0 mg/L) over the course of 305 days. Adult stickleback were euthanized, H&E stained and analyzed for liver morphology. Specifically, we counted the number of lipid droplets, and measured the area of each droplet and the total lipid area of a representative section of liver. We found that perchlorate treated fish had more and larger lipid droplets, and a larger percentage of lipid in their liver than control fish. These data indicate that perchlorate causes NAFLD and hepatic steatosis in stickleback at concentrations commonly found at contaminated sites. These data also indicate the potential of perchlorate to act as an obesogen. Future studies should investigate the obesogenic capacity of perchlorate by examining organ specific lipid accumulation and whether perchlorate induces these effects at concentrations commonly found in drinking water. Work is also needed to determine the mechanisms by which perchlorate induces lipid accumulation.

Pulverization-Tolerance and Capacity Recovery of Copper Sulfide for High-Performance Sodium Storage.

Project description:Finding suitable electrode materials is one of the challenges for the commercialization of a sodium ion battery due to its pulverization accompanied by high volume expansion upon sodiation. Here, copper sulfide is suggested as a superior electrode material with high capacity, high rate, and long-term cyclability owing to its unique conversion reaction mechanism that is pulverization-tolerant and thus induces the capacity recovery. Such a desirable consequence comes from the combined effect among formation of stable grain boundaries, semi-coherent boundaries, and solid-electrolyte interphase layers. The characteristics enable high cyclic stability of a copper sulfide electrode without any need of size and morphological optimization. This work provides a key finding on high-performance conversion reaction based electrode materials for sodium ion batteries.

Sodium perchlorate effects on the helical stability of a mainly alanine peptide.

Project description:Sodium perchlorate salt (NaClO(4)) is commonly used as an internal intensity standard in ultraviolet resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy experiments. It is well known that NaClO(4) can have profound effects on peptide stability. The impact of NaClO(4) on protein stability in UVRR experiments has not yet been fully investigated. It is well known from experiment that protein stability is strongly affected by the solution composition (water, salts, osmolytes, etc.). Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to understand the physical basis on which the presence of salts and osmolytes in the solution impact protein structure and stability. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of NaClO(4), on the helical stability of an alanine peptide in water. Based upon replica-exchange molecular dynamics data, it was found that NaClO(4) solution strongly stabilizes the helical state and that the number of pure helical conformations found at room temperature is greater than in pure water. A thorough investigation of the anion effects on the first and second solvation shells of the peptide, along with the Kirkwood-Buff theory for solutions, allows us to explain the physical mechanisms involved in the observed specific ion effects. A direct mechanism was found in which ClO(4)(-) ions are strongly attracted to the folded backbone.

Developmental timing of sodium perchlorate exposure alters angiogenesis, thyroid follicle proliferation and sexual maturation in stickleback.

Project description:Perchlorate, a common aquatic contaminant, is well known to disrupt homeostasis of the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis. This study utilizes the threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) fish to determine if perchlorate exposure during certain windows of development has morphological effects on thyroid and gonads. Fish were moved from untreated water to perchlorate-contaminated water (30 and 100mg/L) starting at 0, 3, 7, 14, 21, 42, 154 and 305 days post fertilization until approximately one year old. A reciprocal treatment (fish in contaminated water switched to untreated water) was conducted on the same schedule. Perchlorate exposure increased angiogenesis and follicle proliferation in thyroid tissue, delayed gonadal maturity, and skewed sex ratios toward males; effects depended on concentration and timing of exposure. This study demonstrates that perchlorate exposure beginning during the first 42 days of development has profound effects on stickleback reproductive and thyroid tissues, and by implication can impact population dynamics. Long-term exposure studies that assess contaminant effects at various stages of development provide novel information to characterize risk to aquatic organisms, to facilitate management of resources, and to determine sensitive developmental windows for further study of underlying mechanisms.

High pressures increase α-chymotrypsin enzyme activity under perchlorate stress.

Project description:Deep subsurface environments can harbour high concentrations of dissolved ions, yet we know little about how this shapes the conditions for life. We know even less about how the combined effects of high pressure influence the way in which ions constrain the possibilities for life. One such ion is perchlorate, which is found in extreme environments on Earth and pervasively on Mars. We investigated the interactions of high pressure and high perchlorate concentrations on enzymatic activity. We demonstrate that high pressures increase α-chymotrypsin enzyme activity even in the presence of high perchlorate concentrations. Perchlorate salts were shown to shift the folded α-chymotrypsin phase space to lower temperatures and pressures. The results presented here may suggest that high pressures increase the habitability of environments under perchlorate stress. Therefore, deep subsurface environments that combine these stressors, potentially including the subsurface of Mars, may be more habitable than previously thought.

The use of sodium perchlorate in deproteinization during the preparation of nucleic acids.

Project description:Sodium perchlorate in high concentrations will remove from solution the detergent sodium dodecyl sulphate and protein complexed with it. This and the failure of proteins to be precipitated by ethanol from solutions containing a high concentration of sodium perchlorate can be utilized as efficient, rapid and simple deproteinization procedures during the preparation of nucleic acids.

Bis[trans-di-fluorido-tetra-kis-(pyridine-?N)chromium(III)] sodium tetra-chlorido-zincate perchlorate from synchrotron data.

Project description:The title salt, Na[CrF2(C5H5N)4]2[ZnCl4]ClO4, consists of two cationic Cr(III) complexes, an Na(+) cation, one [ZnCl4](2-) anion and one ClO4 (-) anion. The Cr(III) atoms are coordinated by four pyridine (py) N atoms and two F atoms in a trans arrangement, displaying a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The mean Cr-N(py) and Cr-F bond lengths are 2.086?(8) and 1.864?(14)?Å, respectively. The [ZnCl4](2-) anion has a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The most notable feature of the crystal packing is the formation of weak pyridine-perchlorate C-H?O hydrogen bonds, resulting in supra-molecular chains along the b-axis direction. The perchlorate anion was disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.868?(3):0.132?(3) ratio.
