“…These results are consistent with the present study, since the concentrations found to cause luminescence inhibition with the groundwater samples in the present investigation were within the same range reported by Girotti et al (2002). A recent comparative study on the sensitive of bacteria A. fischerii and the microcrustacean Daphnia magna to water-soluble fractions of diesel and biodiesel showed the greater impact of exposure on bacterial luminesce, almost 4-fold that of Daphnids (Braun et al 2019). Conversely, in our study, the microcrustacean species D. similis was extremely sensitive to groundwater samples relative to A. fischerii and, excepting for the control group, all samples caused acute toxicity to the organism.…”

“…However, it depends of several factors, such as (i) amount of the spill, (ii) physicochemical characteristics of the LNAPL and soil, (iii) soil biological proprieties and (iv) environmental conditions (weather, rain, groundwater level) (Kuppusamy et al 2020;Logeshwaran et al 2018). Exposure to petroleum hydrocarbons causes several toxicological responses to exposed organisms, including carcinogenicity, genotoxicity and mutagenicity, among others (Logeshwaran et al 2018;Braun et al 2019;Ossai et al 2020;Akinola et al 2020;Kuppusamy et al 2020). In addition to petroleum hydrocarbon contamination, the presence of metals and trace elements, even at low concentrations in the environment, can cause toxic effects to human and environmental health, as reported by several previous studies (Wu et al 2016;Araujo et al 2019;Vardhan et al 2019).…”

To assess the ecological risk resulting from an accidental gasoline spill upstream from a wetland, groundwater and sediment sampling was carried out during two campaigns at the 48th and 52nd months after the spill had occurred. In total, 21 groundwater monitoring wells in the affected area were sampled plus an additional reference well located upstream from the accident location. Seven sediment sampling points were selected inside the wetland, plus a reference point upstream from the accident. Physicochemical parameters, BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m-xylene, p-xylene and o-xylene) and metal concentrations were analysed to estimate the chemical risk. Acute (Allivibrio fischeri, Daphnia similis, Hyalella azteca) and chronic (Artemia salina and Desmodesmus subspicatus) toxicity assays were performed with groundwater and sediments elutriate to determine the ecotoxicological risk. Results from groundwater indicated an extreme chemical level of risk in14 out of 21 monitoring wells. These 14 wells also exhibited free-phase gasoline and lead (Pb) concentrations above the threshold values adopted by this study. The presence of Pb, however, could not be associated with the gasoline accident. High acute and chronic toxicities were reported for the majority of wells. Conversely, the risks associated with the sediments were considered low in most sampling points, and the ecotoxicity found could not be related to the presence of gasoline. Groundwater flow modelling results have evidenced the migration of the contamination plume towards the wetland. Thus, to prevent contamination from reaching the protected area, more effective groundwater clean-up techniques are still required.

“…Muller, Melegari, Perreault, and Matias (2019) studied the aquatic microcrustacean, Daphnia magna , and the marine bacterium A. fischeri , to compare the toxicity of WAFs of diesel and biodiesel. The group examined acute ( D. magna and A. fischeri ) and chronic ( D. magna only) exposure to various concentrations of the two toxicants, calculating LC50, EC50, LOEC, and NOEC.…”

This review covers selected 2019 articles on the biological effects of pollutants, including human physical disturbances, on marine and estuarine plants, animals, ecosystems, and habitats. The review, based largely on journal articles, covers field, and laboratory measurement activities (bioaccumulation of contaminants, field assessment surveys, toxicity testing, and biomarkers) as well as pollution issues of current interest including endocrine disrupters, emerging contaminants, wastewater discharges, marine debris, dredging, and disposal. Special emphasis is placed on effects of oil spills and marine debris due largely to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil blowout in the Gulf of Mexico and proliferation of data on the assimilation and effects of marine debris microparticulates. Several topical areas reviewed in the past (e.g., mass mortalities ocean acidification) were dropped this year. The focus of this review is on effects, not on pollutant sources, chemistry, fate, or transport. There is considerable overlap across subject areas (e.g., some bioaccumulation data may be appeared in other topical categories such as effects of wastewater discharges, or biomarker studies appearing in oil toxicity literature). Therefore, we strongly urge readers to use keyword searching of the text and references to locate related but distributed information. Although nearly 400 papers are cited, these now represent a fraction of the literature on these subjects. Use this review mainly as a starting point. And please consult the original papers before citing them.

“…Aliivibrio fischeri é uma bactéria marinha luminescente, gram negativa, anaeróbia facultativa, que em condições favoráveis produzem luminescência naturalmente, necessitando de concentração de oxigênio maior que 0,5 mg/L (YAO et al, 2019;MULLER et al, 2019). A emissão de luminosidade desta espécie é resultante do fenômeno de comunicação celular onde é liberado no meio onde está inserida a bactéria moléculas que provocam a autoindução, onde permite a emissão de luminosidade, salientando que é dependente da densidade populacional no meio onde estão inseridos os organismos (ANTUNES, 2003).…”

“…A reprodução em condições favoráveis é por partenogênese, permitindo que a prole seja geneticamente uniforme, tendo o mesmo sexo da mãe. Porém, em condições adversas, pode ter reprodução sexuada, dando origem a ephipios, que são ovos de resistência(MULLER et al, 2019). É um consumidor primário, pode se alimentar dos produtores, sendo a dieta constituída basicamente de algas unicelulares(OLIVI;ESPINDOLA, 2008).…”

O presente artigo analisa três organismos para verificar qual deve ser empregado como biomonitor (método bottom-up). A partir da análise das seguintes espécies: Aliivibrio fischeri, Daphnia magna e Scenedesmus subspicatus. Foram verificadas as características: taxonômia bem definida, tamanho da espécie, identificação por não especialistas, distribuição geográfica, ser abundante, baixa variabilidade ecológica/gênica, possibilidade de uso em laboratório, baixa mobilidade, longo ciclo de vida e característica ecológica bem conhecida. A partir desta, a Daphnia magna foi a que apresentou melhor pontuação nos atributos analisados. Este organismo já é um biomonitor amplamente utilizado para o monitoramento de efluentes têxteis, visto que as análises dos demais organismos podem sofrer interferência da coloração do efluente.
