2.Application of Microorganisms in the Degradation of Polluted Chemicals in Aquatic Environments
Microbiology 2008;35(5):809-814
Every year, waters on earth receive large quantities of wastewater from industry, agriculture, fish and poultry raising, and municipal sewage treatment plants. Consequently, the aquatic environment on the earth is under a serious challenge from a very large quantity of pollutants such as antibiotics, insecticides, herbicides, hydrocarbons, etc., contained in the domestic wastewater, industrial and agricultural waste water and illegal effluents. In particular, with the development of intensive aquiculture and poultry, the effluent pollution has recently become more and more serious with more attentions. Furthermore more and more chemical pollutants discharged into aquatic environment have been detected with the advancement of analytical techniques. These chemicals can cause toxic effects on water habitats after discharged into aquatic environment. However, microorganisms have many key functions in pollution control. In this review, applications of microorganism in the degradation of chemicals in aquatic environments are reviewed. It was concluded that most applications of microorganisms degrading chemicals focused on aquaculture waters, whereas other aquatic systems (such as river, lake, sea, coastal waters) have been scarcely studied.

Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2000;0(01):-
Aim The release process of an anticancer agent, DOX_HAP in rabbit liver was observed.Methods DOX and DOX_HAP were separately injectoed into rabbit livers under the guide of B type ultrasound. Dox concentrations in plasma and liver tissue of the rabbits in both groups were measured by fluorescent stectrophotometer and compared. Results The concentration of complex could existed in the liver tissue about 5 d(1 000 ng?g-1) when it was given in a dose of 2 mg?g-1. At the 10 min the concentration in plasma would be reduced about 1/2 as compared with that in the control group. Conclusions The DOX_ HAP complex not only could increase and insist in an effective concentration of DOX at the local injecting area of liver tissue, but also reduce its concerntration in the plasma. Therefore, it could decrease the toxicity and side_effect of DOX.

In order to enhance the survival rate of abalone larvae, antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed on the bacteria isolated from whitened postlarvae, biofilm and the pond water of abalone (Haliotis diversicolor superteta) and proven to be virulent pathogens by challenge tests. API tests indicated that the isolates were mainly comprised of Vibrio alginolyticus, vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, the total Vibrio number of which was seventeen and made up about 50% of the total population. Among vibrios, Vibrio alginolyticus was the dominant strain (11 isolates) and made up 70%. Antibiotic susceptibility tests demonstrated that while majority isolates exhibited relatively high sensitivities toward streptomycin, erythromycin and gentamycin, they nevertheless displayed resistance to tetracycline and novobiocin. Results clearly indicated that streptomycin, erythromycin and gentamycin could be potentially used to suppress vibrio growth and hence improve abalone postlarval survival rate.
