Kaplan, Olcay; Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Yildirim, Numan; Tayhan, Nilgun
The drinking water quality is associated with the conditions of the water supply networks, the pollution and the contamination of groundwater with pollutants of both anthropogenic and natural origin. In this study, water samples were taken from four different waterworks in Tunceli, Turkey and heavy metals concentrations (As, Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni and Hg) were measured. Four sampling sites were pre-defined in different locations of the city. The obtained results showed that, the heavy metals concentrations in water samples did not exceed the values of WHO (World Health Organization), EC (Europe Community), EPA (Environment Protection Agency) and TSE-266 (Turkish Standard) guidelines.

Yildirim, Numan; Yildiz, Abdunnasir
Biodelignification of cotton stalk (CS) by Pleurotus eryngii collected from Tunceli and Elazig province of Turkey under solid state fermentation (SSF) was studied. The effect of the addition of varying concentration (5 & 10% w/w) of rice bran (RB) on lignin degradation and Carbon/Nitrogen (C/N) ratio were investigated. Klason lignin (KL) degradation was followed for 140 day. While substrate initially contained 28.66% KL, maximum lignin loss (69.68+/-1.05%), occurred on CS +5% RB, C/N ratio of non-fermented cotton stalk initially was 34.13+/-4.98% and after incubation this ratio decreased to 18.60+/-0.36% on CS without RB. It was concluded that P. eryngii strain collected from Tunceli province is very effective in delignifying cotton stalk. (C) 2011 Friends Science Publishers

Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Yildirim, Numan; Kaplan, Olcay; Tayhan, Nilgun
This study explored the chemical and microbiological contamination of drinking water from eight towns in Tunceli, Turkey Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and epichloridine were extracted by liquid solid extraction and analyzed by using HPLC, volatile organics were analyzed by GC-MS and acrylamide was analyzed by GC Escherichia coli and total conform detection followed a membrane filtration method Enterococci were detected and numerated by membrane filtration method Most commonly found chemical pollutants were benzene, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), 1-2 dichloroethane, epichloridine, tetrachloroethane, trihalomethane and acrylamide E coli, total conform and enterococci were also found in the drinking water Our results indicate that generally chemical and microbiological contaminations were found below the guidelines for drinking waters given by the World Health Organization, because of the fact that in the sampling area there is not any contaminating source So, according to results these water samples are fit for drinking (C) 2010 Friends Science Publishers

Fishes are largly used for the assessment of aquatic environment quality and are accepted as bioindicators of environmental pollution. This study evaluated haematological and biochemical responses of Capoeta trutta captured in Munzur River, Tunceli, Turkey. Blood and biochemical parameters (Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Phosphorus (P), Chlorine (Cl) and Iron (Fe)) were determined. The values of Red Blood Cell (RBC) Haemoglobin (Hb), Haemotocrit (Ht), Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Platelet Count (PLT), Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Plateletcrit (PCT), Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) from examined haematological parameters were found as 0.67+/-0.09 10(12) L(-1), 13.5+/-0.90 g dL(-1), 14.78+/-0.19%, 218.40+/-4.29 fL, 194.75+/-15.36 pg 108.52+/-1.09 g dL(-1), 34.12+/-5.89 10(9)L(-1), 11.92+/-1.65 fL, 0.061+/-0.01% and 19.77+/-1.71 fL, respectively. The values of Fe, Cl, P, Ca, K and Na from examined biochemical parameters were determined as 91.75+/-28.27 g dL(-1), 92.00+/-4.02 mmol L(-1), 13.20+/-1.26mg dL(-1), 11.65+/-0.74 mmol L(-1), 1.30+/-0.21 mmol L(-1) and 132.5+/-3.90 mg dL(-1) respectively. Observation of blood parameters allows the most rapid detection of changes in fish after the exposure to xenobiotics. It can conclude that hematological and biochemical parameters could be ranked as possible biomarkers of pollution.

Yildirim, Numan; Yildiz, Abdunnasir
The bioconversion of soy stalk (SS) lignocellulose by three different starins of Pleurotus eryngii from various origins by solid state fermentation was studied during 40 days. The effect of rice bran ratio, 5% or 10% (w/w), on lignin degradation and laccase activity were measured througout the fermentations while, total crude protein and C/N ratio of the remaining substrate were determined at the end of the fermentations. The degradation of lignocellulose was found by the determination of acid soluble lignin (Klason lignin) content. All the strains degraded lignin with different extents. The amount of lignin degradation was decreased by the addition of the higher quantities of rice bran (SS+10% RB). The highest lignin degradation was obtained as 24.43% by P eryngii var. ferulae (E) and the highest protein level was found to be %13.32 by P eryngii (H). We determined that the laccase activity was generally decreased by the addition of the higher quantities of rice bran (10%). Maximum laccase activity (204.39 U/L) was obtained by P. eryngii (E) on SS + 5% RB at the end of the fermentation. This study showed that, after fungal treatment soy stalk can be used as a feed for ruminants with its higher feeding value.

Yildirim, Numan; Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Yildiz, Abdunnasir
In this study, the ability to decolorize two chemically different synthetic dyes (methylene blue and crystal violet) by Pleurotus eryngii strains collected from geographically different regions of Turkey was evaluated on agar plates in static liquid cultures. For all strains, growth and decolorization halos were determined on malt extract agar plates containing 0.4 and 0.6 g/L of crystal violet (CV) or methylene blue (MB). Each P. eryngii strain showed certain decolorization capacities and was able to decolorize both MB and CV under static liquid culture conditions, but not to the same extent. The presence of the dyes in static liquid culture reduced the biomass production of all strains in comparison with control culture growing in the medium without dyes. In solid medium, a positive correlation was found between growth halo and decolorization halo.

Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Yürekli, Muhittin; Yildirim, Numan
Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the compensating effects of adrenomedullin on liver tissue after cold stress treatment. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups as control, adrenomedullin, cold stress and cold stress + adrenomedullin treated. Adrenomedullin was given by intraperitoneal injection (2 mg/g body weight) once a day for a week. For cold stress the rats were kept at 10 C for a week. Catalase, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities were measured in liver tissue. Results: Catalase activity was decreased significantly as compared to control in adrenomedullin treated group (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in superoxide dismutase activity (p>0.05). Glutathione peroxidase activity was increased in adrenomedullin treated group but this was statistically insignificant (p>0.05). All enzyme activities were decreased by cold stress (p<0.05). In Adrenomedullin+cold stress group, only the glutathione peroxidase activity was significantly decreased (p<0.05). Conclusion: It is concluded that cold stress induces decrease in catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities in rat liver. Adrenomedullin treatment corrected only glutathione peroxidase activity while decreasing catalase and superoxide dismutase activities further. The discrepancy may be explained by different responses of antioxidant systems to oxidative stress. It can be concluded that oxidative factors may display unexpected effects on the regulation of glutathione peroxidase activities in the adrenonmedullin case.

Yildirim, Numan; Asma, Dilek
The effect of different cadmium (Cd) concentrations (5 mu M and 500 mu M) on antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6), glutathione reductase (OR, EC 1.8.1.7) and glutathione S-transferase (GST, EC 2.5.1.18), and glutathione levels was studied in white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium (ME446), grown in liquid medium. Exposure to 500 mu M Cd resulted in significant induction of SOD actvity. Exposure to high (500 mu M) and low concentration (5 mu M) led to a clear induction of CAT activity with respect to control group. Exposure to 5 mu M Cd increased GR activity. GST activity was induced but GSH level reduced by exposure to 5 mu M Cd.
