“…For example, growth of D. radiodurans was inhibited at 1.8 mM Cd(II) and 2.5 mM U(VI); while growth of P. putida was inhibited at metal concentrations ranging from 50 mM Ni(II) to 1.7 mM U(VI) to 240 mM Fe(III). Similarly high concentrations of U caused growth inhibition in similar earlier liquid culture studies [102,103].…”

SummaryPlutonium has no known biological utility, yet it has the potential to interact with bacterial cellular and extracellular structures that contain metal-binding groups, to interfere with the uptake and utilization of essential elements, and to alter cell metabolism. These interactions can transform plutonium from its most common forms, solid, mineral-adsorbed, or colloidal Pu(IV), to a variety of biogeochemical species that have much different physico-chemical properties. Organic acids that are extruded products of cell metabolism can solubilize plutonium and then enhance its environmental mobility, or in some cases facilitate plutonium transfer into cells. Phosphate- and carboxylate-rich polymers associated with cell walls can bind plutonium to form mobile biocolloids or Pu-laden biofilm/mineral solids. Bacterial membranes, proteins or redox agents can produce strongly reducing electrochemical zones and generate molecular Pu(III/IV) species or oxide particles. Alternatively, they can oxidize plutonium to form soluble Pu(V) or Pu(VI) complexes. This paper reviews research on plutonium-bacteria interactions and closely related studies on the biotransformation of uranium and other metals.

“…Deheyn et al [24] assessed 11 metals with three cell-based bioassays based on marine organisms: the bacterium Photobacterium Phosphoreum of the Microtox bioassay, an environmental strain of P. Phosphoreum, and photocytes isolated from Brittlestar Ophiopsila Californica. In all three assays, the elements Cd and Hg exhibited similar speciation, as well as similar toxicity profiles.…”

Recent events have heightened awareness concerning potential hazardous threats to U.S. populace. The causes of concern include a possible contamination of water systems through harmful chemical agents resulting in sickness or death among consumers. To forestall the consequences of high-risk chemical contaminants that can potentially pollute our water resources, swift intervening measures need to be taken as a first line of defense.This aspect of environmental protection involves the design, testing, and installation of detection devices that protect U.S. water supply systems from toxic chemicals. These sensing devices are based on physical, chemical, biological, and radiological methods of detection. Traditional analytical tools are rather cumbersome, time-consuming, and expensive to operate. On the other hand, contemporary trends in the fight against toxic chemical threats to domestic and industrial water facilities comprise of sensors designed to achieve rapid, highly sensitive, and cost-effective detection, and intervention. This paper samples the state-of-the-art in detection techniques for toxic chemical antagonists with emphasis on heavy metals and cyanide compounds that can be potentially deleterious to U.S. water systems. The goal is to identify rapid, realistic and reliable methods, as early warning systems, to mitigate the effects of toxicants in water systems.

“…Copyright Elemental sulfur inhibited bacterial luminescence and increased respiration of Vibrio fischeri at 2.2 ppm by reversibly modifying luciferase at sites sensitive to redox agents and by affecting electron transport processes (Cetkausakaite et al, 2004). The Microtox bioassay, an environmental strain of Photobacterium phosphoreum, and photocytes from the brittlestar were used to compare metal toxicity (Deheyn et al, 2004). Hyporheic microbial communities were found to be more sensitive indicators of heavy metal contaminants in streams than aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages in a 7 day exposure study (Feris et al, 2004).…”

This review is of the literature of 2004 and is organized according to 1).the effect of disinfectants on bacteria, 2) the effect of disinfectants on other microorganisms, 3) the effect of other chemicals on bacteria, and 4) the effect of other chemicals on other microorganisms. Effect of Disinfectants on BacteriaThe main oxidizing species in the photoferriooxalate system responsible for microorganism inactivation was shown to be the OH radical (Cho et al., 2004).The marine bacterium, Vibrio fischeri was 3 orders of magnitude more sensitive to the alkylphenols than higher trophic level organisms. Significant differences in toxicity were observed for the various phenols and their toxicity was additive (Choi, et al., 2004). Inactivation of K. pneumonia cultures by chlorine was highly sensitive to changes in temperature and concentrations of MgSO4 and FeCl3 unlike inactivation by chloramines (Goel and Bouwer, 2004). Chlorate reductase and chlorite dismutase were shown to be constitutively expressed by Pseudomonas under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions independently of the presence of 2720 Copyright © 2005 Water Environment Federation.
