Project description:Reduces chlorinated hydrocarbons in contaminated subsurface environments.

Project description:Bioavailability of electron acceptors is probably the most limiting factor in the restoration of anoxic, contaminated environments. The oxidation of contaminants such as aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly in aquifers, often depends on the reduction of ferric iron or sulphate. We have previously detected a highly active fringe zone beneath a toluene plume at a tar-oil contaminated aquifer in Germany, where a specialized community of contaminant degraders co-dominated by Desulfobulbaceae and Geobacteraceae had established. Although on-site geochemistry links degradation to sulphidogenic processes, dominating catabolic (benzylsuccinate synthase alpha-subunit, bssA) genes detected in situ appeared more related to those of Geobacter spp. Therefore, a stable isotope probing (SIP) incubation of sediment samples with 13C7-toluene and comparative electron acceptor amendment was performed. We introduce pyrosequencing of templates from SIP microcosms as a powerful new strategy in SIP gradient interpretation (Pyro-SIP). Our results reveal the central role of Desulfobulbaceae for sulphidogenic toluene degradation in situ, and affiliate the detected bssA genes to this lineage. This, and the absence of 13C-labelled DNA of Geobacter spp. in SIP gradients preclude their relevance as toluene degraders in situ. In contrast, Betaproteobacteria related to Georgfuchsia spp. became labelled under iron-reducing conditions. Furthermore, secondary toluene degraders belonging to the Peptococcaceae detected in both treatments suggest the possibility of functional redundancy amongst anaerobic toluene degraders on site. 2 samples examined from the different electron-acceptors (sulphate or ferric iron) incubates at the time point of maximal toluene degradation.

Project description:Evidence from confocal microscopic reconstruction of maize anther development in fertile, mac1 (excess germ cells) and msca1 (no germ cells) flowers indicates that the male germ line is multiclonal and uses the MAC1 protein to organize the somatic niche. Furthermore, we identified redox status as a determinant of germ cell fate, defining a mechanism distinct from the animal germ cell lineage. Decreasing oxygen or H2O2 increases germ cell numbers, stimulates superficial germ cell formation, and rescues germinal differentiation in msca1 flowers. Conversly, oxidizing environments inhibit germ cell specification and cause ectopic differentiation in deeper tissues. We propose that hypoxia, arising naturally within growing anther tissue, acts as a positional cue to set germ cell fate. key words: anther development, maize, male-sterile Two replicates of laser microdissected pre-meiotic cells were compared to two replicates of whole anthers, which contains pre-meiotic cells and somatic cells, from the same developmental stage and individual wild type plants. In another experiment, laser microdissected pre-meiotic cells from wild type (mac1-heterozygous) anthers were compared to laser microdissected pre-meiotic cells from mac1 (mutant) anthers.

Project description:Hemoglobin (Hb) is released from red blood cells (RBC) during intravascular hemolysis. Cell free Hb has been implicated to play a pathogenic role in hemolytic diseases such as sickle cell anemia or malaria. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the most prevalent reactive oxygen species which is produced in excess during inflammation or tissue injury and has been included as a potential mediator of oxidative stress related cell and tissue damage. The biologic significance of Hbs peroxidase activity as an anti-oxidant is controversial as the radicals and higher oxidation iron species which are potentially released during these reactions could be a source of exaggerated oxidative damage. Using a cell culture model of low-flux continuous H2O2 generation by glucose-oxidase (GOx) Hb revealed the potential to protect vascular smooth muscle cells and macrophages from H2O2 mediated glutathione depletion and cell death. As revealed by gene array analysis, Hb effectively abolished H2O2 induced oxidative stress response in these cells. Through electron microscopy and quantitative mass spectrometry extensive oxidation of specific Hb amino acid residues, polymerization and precipitation was defined. This may be a consequence of potential protective mechanism within Hb. The net biologic effect of Hb, when present in oxidative rich environments, is likely a result of the balance of H2O2 consumption (protection) on one hand and the production of free radicals (damage) on the other hand. Further the extensive structural changes occurring during the reaction of ferrous Hb with H2O2 could 'absorb' a significant amount of oxidative impact and thereby further protect the environment from heme derived free radical damage. The intrinsic peroxidase activity of hemoglobin seems to be a constitutive 'enzymatic' function of Hb which adds a novel facet to the multivalent role played by the abundant oxygen carrier protein.
