“…The lack of sensitivity of Gram-negative bacteria towards cadmium (e.g. 15 min EC 50 V. fischeri 36.08 mg Cd/l, [16]) has been reported by many authors [16,24,36] and attributed to the presence of exopolysaccharides on the outer layer of the bacteria membrane, which have been found to adsorb and trap cadmium [36].…”

“…V. fischeri has been used for more than 30 years in whole effluent toxicity testing (WET) [4], waste water treatment efficiency evaluation [5,6], surface water and sediment quality monitoring [7][8][9], ground water studies [10], risk assessment [11], and also as a model organism for fundamental studies on mode of action and toxicological pathways of various substances and mixtures [12][13][14][15][16]. Researchers have reported a good correlation of bioluminescence assay based on V. fischeri, the first and the most employed luminescent strain, with toxicity bioassays such as those on algae, crustacean, fishes, etc.…”

Sensitivity of bacterial vs. acute Daphnia magna toxicity tests to metals

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the sensitivity of two bacterial tests commonly used in metal toxicity screening — the Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence inhibition test and the Pseudomonas putida growth inhibition test — in comparison to the standard acute Daphnia magna test, and to estimate applicability of the selected methods to the toxicity testing of environmental samples. The D. magna acute test proved to be more sensitive to cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn) than the two bacterial assays, whereas P. putida seems to be the most sensitive species to lead (Pb). Manganese appears to be slightly toxic to D. magna and non-toxic to the two selected bacteria. This leads to the conclusion that even in regions with high background concentrations, manganese would not act as a confounding factor. Low sensitivity of V. fischeri to heavy metals questions its applicability as the first screening method in assessing various environmental samples. Therefore, it is not advisable to replace D. magna with bacterial species for metal screening tests. P. putida, V. fischeri and/or other bacterial tests should rather be applied in a complex battery of ecotoxicological tests, as their tolerance to heavy metals can unravel other potentially present toxic substances and mixtures, undetectable by metal-sensitive species.

Abstract:The aim of the research was to evaluate the effect of temperature during the treatment process as well as the effect of adding plant materials to sewage sludge on selected chemical properties and Vibrio fischeri response. The mixtures were placed in a chamber furnace, under airless conditions. Two temperature procedures were applied: 300 and 600ºC; the exposure time in both cases was 15 minutes. Thermal treatment of sewage sludge without a plant component is not well-founded and may cause an increase in concentration of trace elements. Using the temperature of 300ºC caused significantly lower changes in the contents of total forms of trace elements than using the temperature of 600ºC. The metals extracted from the studied mixtures were not toxic for the Vibrio fischeri. In the case of the fractional composition of humic compounds, thermal treatment of mixtures of sewage sludge and plant materials is not beneficial in terms of labile fractions, but it had a beneficial effect on stabilizing the durable bonds between C compounds in those mixtures.

“…To determine the 50% effective concentration (EC 50 ) (Tisler and Zagorc-Koncan, 2002;Flladosa et al, 2005) of fly ash samples, a dose-response test was conducted using ROTAS (leachable model) for eight typical Bulgarian fly ash samples collected from the first, second, and third rows of Republika and Bobov Dol TPPs, and from the two bulk samples collected from Maritza East 2 and 3 TPPs. Fly ash samples weighing 0.1 and 0.05 g were prepared separately.…”

A B S T R A C TCoal fly ash is a residue of coal-fired thermoelectric power plants (TPPs) and is mostly dumped in ash ponds or landfill sites, even though it potentially contains significant amounts of water-soluble hazardous contaminants. Bioassay using the bioluminescent bacterium Vibrio fischeri is known to be applicable for assessing the short-term and sublethal toxicity of complex mixtures without the need for precise chemical characterization. However, this type of bioassay is potentially adversely influenced by the pH-induced protein denaturation of cells. Because coal fly ash leachates often have alkaline or acidic properties, when applying the V. fischeri-based bioassay to the samples, we need to know potential effect of the leachates on the bioluminescence of the bacteria. This study accordingly aimed to investigate the feasibility of applying the V. fischeri bioassay to coal fly ash leachate as a screening method. Fly ash samples were collected from 12 TPPs located in three East European countries: Bulgaria, Greece, and Serbia. The fly ash samples were prepared in sterilized distilled water by ultrasonic extraction and filtration using 0.45-mmΦ membrane filters. The filtrates were then mixed with a solution of the test bacterium. The bioluminescence intensity was measured using a luminometer. The results showed the ostensible influence of pH on bioluminescence intensity pronounced when following the typical protocol using a 5.0-g/L solid:liquid ratio. Accordingly, the pH of water extracts should be adjusted to within a range of 6 to 9 by dilution to observe the inhibition of bioluminescence by coal fly ash leachate as the objective endpoint.
