“…44 Lipofuscins, basically composed of non-oxidable lipids, represent one of the main cellular products accumulating in lysosomes as a result of the oxidative stress caused by pollutants. 35 , 45 , 46 Moreover, they are inferred to contribute to metal detoxification, being either enclosed within residual bodies or extruded into the extracellular space. 47 These organelles have been also recorded in a fresh water flagellated protist ( Euglena gracilis ), a mussel ( Mytilus galloprovincialis ), and a sea urchin.…”

The responses of Ammonia parkinsoniana (Foraminifera) exposed to different concentrations of lead (Pb) were evaluated at the cytological level. Foraminifera-bearing sediments were placed in mesocosms that were housed in aquaria each with seawater of a different lead concentration. On the basis of transmission electron microscopy and environmental scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectrometer analyses, it was possible to recognize numerous morphological differences between untreated (i.e., control) and treated (i.e., lead enrichment) specimens. In particular, higher concentrations of this pollutant led to numerical increase of lipid droplets characterized by a more electron-dense core, proliferation of residual bodies, a thickening of the organic lining, mitochondrial degeneration, autophagosome proliferation and the development of inorganic aggregates. All these cytological modifications might be related to the pollutant-induced stress and some of them such as the thickening of organic lining might suggest a potential mechanism of protection adopted by foraminifera.

“…Moreover, although exposure to metals and pesticides at low concentrations or for low time may induce CAT activity (Schreck et al, 2008;Gao et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2009), high concentrations or longer exposure times are believed to inhibit this enzyme activity (Zhang et al, 2009). Lipofuscins are markedly accumulated after exposure to pollutants (Gastaldi et al, 2007;Pasteris et al, 2008). Later on, earthworms died massively at day 5.…”

“…Oxidative stress due to pollutant exposure is known to promote lipofuscin accumulation in tissues (Viarengo and Nott, 1993). Particularly, lipofuscin accumulation has been only reported in the earthworm E. andrei after exposure to Cu (Gastaldi et al, 2007;Pasteris et al, 2008). In terrestrial molluscs the MET of the digestive diverticula is known to be reduced after metal exposure (Marigómez et al, 1986).…”

Phosphorus is an essential macronutrient that plays a crucial role in the regulation of the biological productivity and biogeochemical cycling of other biogenic elements. As a large tidal wetland dominated by reeds in Liaoning province, China, the Shuangtai estuary wetland is a unique ecosystem class. To better understand the spatial and temporal distributions of total phosphorus (TP) in the sediments of the Shuangtai estuary wetland during the period of reed growth, eight sampling sites were established within the wetland, approximately 11 to 24 km from Liaohe River. These sites were sampled once a month at multiple sediment depth intervals between April and October in 2018 and 2019, periods of time that corresponded with the reed growth period. An alkali fusion method was used to determine TP in the sediment samples. The results show that sediment TP content of wetland sediments ranged from 0.001 to 0.781 mg/kg, and decreases from southwest to northeast with the increase in sediment depth. The TP content reaches the maximum corresponding to the fastest growth stage of the reeds (June and July), while the minimum occurs in October (i.e., the maturity stage of reeds). The variation law of TP in cross-sectional sediment in the wetland is that the deeper the sediments are, the lower the content; its maximum content occurs in surface soil. The TP content of each site tends to be stable with increasing depth and has a regularly dynamic seasonal variation with the growth of reeds.
