Erguven, Gokhan Onder; Bayhan, Hurrem
The study is about the removal of herbicide Trifluralin as COD parameter and monitoring the population dynamic of isolated cultures. These cultures were isolated from soil samples taken from these areas for their identifications before the use of herbicide. Removal of Trifluralin was determined by microbiological degradation with these produced bacteria and fungi in liquid media. With these growing bacteria and fungi, removal rate by bioremediation method studies were carried out. In addition to biodegradation mechanism, with the measurements of the turbidity; the colony number of microorganisms is monitored with isolated bacteria and fungi species. The removal efficiency for Bacillus simplex was 95% and Clostridium tetani species was 86%, by the fungi Penicillium simplicissimum, and Metacordcyceps chlamydosporia species, were 59% and 80% respectively in five days. Bioremediation study results have shown differences with respect to species in liquid media. Degradation time of these herbicides in liquid culture media with isolated cultures varied between 5 min. and 135 min.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2016Scopus SJRQ3EFFECT OF SALICYLIC ACID AND SELENIUM ON ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEM OF AVENA SATIVA L. UNDER FENOXAPROP-P-ETHYL STRESS
Yigit, Emel; Akbulut, Gulcin Beker; Bayram, Dilek; Kaya, Armagan; Gok, Yetkin
The present study focuses on understanding the role of different antioxidants in plant defense against oxidative stress caused by fenoxaprop-p-ethyl herbicide. Besides ameliorative effect of exogenously applied salicylic acid (SA) and selenium (Se) on fenoxaprop-p-ethyl-induced toxicity was examined in Avena sativa L. It was determined that the MDA (malondialdehyde) content in the groups to which only herbicide was applied was higher than that of the groups to which SA and Se applied together with the herbicide. In plants exposed to fenoxaprop-p-ethyl, the activities of peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR) and content of glutathione (GSH) increased in the treatment groups compared to the control groups. The antioxidant activity increased in the control and treatment groups that were pre-treated with SA and Se compared to the groups that were not pre-treated with SA and Se. While catalase activity (CAT) decreased in SA pre-treated plants, it increased in Se pre-treated plants. These results indicate that the fenoxaprop-p-ethyl induces various plant defense responses in target plants and that treatment with exogenous SA and Se can increase stress resistance by altering these responses.

Can, Safak Seyhaneyildiz; Cirik, Semra; Koru, Edis; Turan, Gamze; Tekogul, Hatice; Subakan, Tugba
Efficient biofuel production from algae depends on the microalgal biomass production rate and lipid content. Both biomass production and lipid accumulation are limited by several factors, of which nutrients play a key role. In this study, the marine microalgae Dunaliella bardawil was used as a model organism. D. bardawil was cultured at two different sodium nitrate concentrations as 0 and 0.7 M, at six different amounts of salinity as 0.65, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.75 and 3.5 M, and at two different light intensity levels as 65 and 800 mu mol foton m(-2) s(-1) The study was done under pH 7. After 15-day growth period, the most efficient culture of D. bardawil for both biomass increase and lipid production was determined for the samples with 39.67 +/- 4.51 lipid rates cultured under 0.7 M nitrate concentration, 2.75 M salinity and 800 mu mol photon m(-2) sn(-1) light intensity. This high level of lipid production is sufficient to use D. bardawil for biodiesel production. Also after the evaluation of fatty acid results of GC-FID analysis, it was determined that D. bardawil contains high rate of medium length (C16-C18) fatty acid chains suitable for the production of biodiesel. These results are satisfactory to use D. bardawil in biodiesel production.

Can, Safak Seyhaneyildiz; Demir, Veysel; Can, Erkan
Wastewater generated daily in urban localities could provide nourishment to algae for potential production of biofuel and biochemicals. This study presents an integrated approach to the use of Spirulina platensis cultures for the treatment of domestic wastewater and lipid extraction. In this experimental approach, wastewater subjected only to the primary settling process was used as nutrient media at different concentrations of 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% wastewater diluted with distilled water, and Spirulina platensis was cultured in these mediums for 20 days. The inoculated medium was incubated at 30 degrees C in the presence of light (42 mu mol photon m(-2).s(-1)) by using light/dark cycle of 12 hours. S. platensis consumed nitrite, nitrate, phosphate and ammonium from wastewater, and it increased its biomass and its lipid amount. Although the highest biomass increase was observed at the wastewater medium without dilution (100% wastewater) (the control group was not included), the highest lipid production was found in 25% wastewater. On the other hand, the percent reduction in the level of nitrite, nitrate, phosphate and ammonium in 75% wastewater medium was 91%, 99%, 99% and 99%, respectively. Despite the low lipid content, since Spirulina platensis can live in harsh conditions and increase its biomass rapidly, they can be easily cultivated in wastewater. Therefore, their use in wastewater for biodiesel production was found appropriate. The resulting algae biomass after oil extraction can be also used in different industrial sectors.

Seker, Engin; Ispir, Unal; Yonar, Serpil Mise; Yonar, M. Enis; Turk, Cebrahil
We evaluated antioxidant responses of Oncorhynchus mykiss, experimentally exposed to different concentrations of hidrogen peroxide (H2O2). Different concentrations of H2O2 (50 and 100 ppm) were administrated to the fish for 30, 60 and 90 min. Samples of the gill were collected at the end of the experiment, and analysed for their oxidant antioxidant status, including the malondialdehyde (MDA) level, the catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity as well as the reduced glutathione (GSH) concentration. Results obtained showed that H2O2 significantly increased MDA level. Compared to controls, GSH level and GSH-Px and CAT activities were significantly reduced in the fish that were exposed to different concentrations of H2O2. The current data suggest that H2O2 has an oxidative-stress-inducing potential in fish. The various parameters studied in this investigation can also be used as biomarkers of exposure to H2O2.

Mutlu, Ekrem; Demir, Tugba; Kutlu, Bann
One of the pollutants leading to heavy metal pollution is the lead element. The studies on exposure of fish to lead have shown that this exposure leads to negative effects on body weight, and digestive enzymes and lipase. In humans, the symptoms of chronic lead toxicity are renal malfunction, anemia, brain and liver damage, cancer, hyperactivity, and general psychological impairment. For struggling with this heavy metal contamination, we have a useful tool named Zeolite. Zeolites are used in many fields such as agriculture, metal industry, energy sector, manufacturing industry, water treatment, animal husbandry, struggling with environmental pollution, and etc. In this study, we utilized the biochemical parameters of carp fish (Cyprinus carpio) in order to reveal the effects of zeolite on fish health and production. The experiments were performed within 100 L glass aquariums with 85x40x30 dimensions. The study was planned for 3 different durations as 35 days, 90 days, and 120 days. The subjects were divided into 4 groups for each of experiment durations. The groups were named Pb(NO3)(2) group, Pb(NO3)(2) + Zeolite group, Zeolite group, and control group. At the end of each of the experiment period (on 35(th), 90(th), and 120(th) days), the fish in groups were weighed, and the average growth rates of each of the groups were calculated. The parameters used in blood analyses are glucose (GLU), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), globulin (GLB), creatinine (CR), total bilirubin (TBIL), uric acid ([JA), and direct bilirubin (DBlL).

Kaya, Armagan; Yigit, Emel; Akbulut, Gulcin Beker; Ates, Burhan
In this study, the effects of Reactive Phthalocyanine Blue (RPB) changes on peroxidase, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and total chlorophyll content of Phaseolus vulgaris L. (bean) were examined. The beans were exposed to different concentrations of RPB between 200-1255 mg/L. In the analyzed plants, different effects were observed on peroxidase activity. When compared to the control group, a significant decrease was identified in the plants which were treated with RPB except for the 1255 mg/L application group. Besides the effects of RPB on MDA content were analyzed. MDA content was found to be lower in all application groups except for 439 mg/L. In addition, total chlorophyll content increased in all application groups except for 338 mg/L when compared to the control group. These findings indicated that RPB caused significant changes in peroxidase activity, MDA content and total chlorophyll. It was shown that the textile dye had a toxic effect on the plants.

Demir, Veysel; Bin-Shafique, Sazzad
Batch tests were conducted on several Texas native bioretention media to estimate the removal capacity of lead and copper from contaminated water and to understand the effect of the presence of phosphate (due to application of phosphate based fertilizers in the watershed) on metal removal. The results show that the 77% of lead and 58% of copper precipitated as the phosphate added to the contaminated water even before adding any media. Cedar mulch and hardwood mulch performed best and removed 99.2% of lead and 97.5% of copper from aqueous solution. When phosphate was added, removal increased to 97.8% for copper and 100% for lead (under detection limits). The removal capacity of metals was with the order of cedar mulch > hardwood mulch > pine mulch > sawdust > loam soil > silica sand. The leaching of metals from the media was much lower than the original solution and decreased when phosphate was added.

Avci, Halim; Kaya, Gokce; Akdeniz, Ismail; Ince, Muharrem; Yaman, Mehmet
Levels of nickel and chromium in leaves of 14 plant species grown in industrial sites of Gaziantep and surrounding were examined for biomonitoring of atmospheric pollution using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS). The plant leaf samples were collected from different locations with different degrees of metal pollution. The metal levels in the plants were in the ranges of (with mean values) 0.4-28.0 (3.1) mg kg(-1) for Ni and 0.1-6.6 (1.5) mg kg(-1) for Cr. On the other hand, the Ni and Cr levels in the plant leaf samples collected from control) areas were in the ranges of 0.4-2.1 (1.1) and 0.1-1.4 (0.58) mg kg(-1), respectively. It was concluded that Pinus nigra L., Acacia robinia L., Platanus orientalis L., Nerium oleander L., Pyracantha coccinea M.Roem. and Populus nigra L. for Ni, Pinus nigra L., Acacia robinia L., Olea europaea L. and Nerium oleander L. for Cr could be biomonitors. Therefore, it was demonstrated that the plant leaves could be used for heavy metal air pollution monitoring in urban and industrial regions.

Altinterim, Basar; Gulec, Azime Kucukgul; Aksu, Onder
In this study, the safety dose of Eucalyptus camaldulensis hydrosol on carp (Cyprinus carpio) was investigated. Powdered eucalyptus leaves were mixed with deionized water and then distilled. The hydrosol was added into aquariums at doses of 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 ml L-1 Temperature, pH, hardness and dissolved oxygen level of the water were recorded before and after hydrosol adding. The control and test experiments were repeated three times. Data obtained from the safety dose tests of E. camaldulensis hydrosol were evaluated using the Probit Analysis Statistical Method. The 5-h LC50 value (95 % confidence limit) of the safe dose of E. camaldulensis hydrosol was estimated to be 0.93 ml L-1(0.03-0.11). It can be seen that 0.05 ml L-1 doses of eucalyptus hydrosol do not create any kind of mental disorder. In the fish exposed to 0.10 and 0.15 ml L-1 doses, some mental disorders (rolling, numbness) and, at the end of 5 h, mortality in all the trial fish have been determined. The number of dead fish was significantly exposed to E. camaldulensis hydrosol (P<0.05).

The present study aimed to determine and compare the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in two freshwater species of mussels Unio elongatulus eucirrus (Bourguignat, 1860) and Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas, 1771) in Keban Dam Lake, Turkey. The amount of Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb) and Uranium (U) were detected. Heavy metals concentrations (ppm) of these heavy metals in U. e. eucirrus and D. polymorpha were 1.071 and 1.376 for As, 0.174 and 0.335 for Cd, 0.004 and 3.817 for Cu, 0 and 0.267 for Pb, 0.004 and 0.267 for U, respectively. Arsenic concentrations in the tissues of both species have exceeded the maximum permission limits in all sampling sites. The concentrations of Cu and U were considerably greater in D. polymorpha specimens than in U. e. eucirrus (p<0.05). The results obtained from the present study showed that both species accumulated heavy metals generally in the following sequences: Cu > As > Cd > Pb >U. The present results indicated that D. polymorpha may be a better bioindicator of environmental pollution than U. e. eucirrus, since it showed a higher accumulation capacity.

Uslu, Gulsad; Gültekin, Gulden; Tanyol, Mehtap
The bioaccumulation of copper (II) and cadmium (II) ions by viable P. putida was studied as a function of initial pH, temperature, initial glucose and initial metal ion concentration. Optimum pH value for maximum metal ion accumulation was determined to be 3.0 +/- 0.5 and 4.5 +/- 0.5 at 25 and 30 degrees C for each metal ion, respectively. At a constant glucose concentration, although the increase in initial copper (II) and cadmium (II) ion concentration up to approximately 25 mg L-1 increased bioaccumulation capacity of P. putida for both, all metal ion concentrations tested inhibited the growth of P. putida. High microbial growth and copper (II) and cadmium (II) accumulation yields were found at low initial metal ion concentrations. The cell and bioaccumulated metal ion concentrations and uptake yields in-creased with increasing glucose concentration up to 10 g L-1 at a constant metal ion level for each of the metal ions. Although both metal ions caused on inhibition effect on the growth of the microorganism, P. putida was capable of removing copper (II) and cadmium (II) with maximum specific uptake of 58.42 mg g-(1) and 34.65 mg g(-1) at 25 mg L-1 initial copper(II) and cadmium(II) level, respectively. The results also indicated that, P. putida was more efficient in accumulating larger amounts of cadmium (II) than copper (II) ions.

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; Yurekli, Muhittin
The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of methylated adrenomedullin (met-AdM) on some antioxidant enzymes, such as catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-P-X) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in rat kidney and heart tissues after cold stress treatment. Male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups (control, met-AdM, cold stress and cold stress + met-AdM treatments). The rats were kept at room temperature, exposed to a 16/8-hours light/dark cycle. The rats were maintained at ad libitum (free) feeding habit. In met-AdM treated group, animals received intraperitoneal injection of met-AdM (2 mg/g body weight) once a day during a week. For the cold stress exposure, the rats were kept in separate cages at 10 degrees C for a week. Control group rats were kept at laboratory conditions. CAT, GSH-P-X and SOD enzyme activities were investigated in kidney and heart tissues. In kidney tissue compared to control, CAT and GSH-P-X enzyme activity was decreased but SOD was increased in met-AdM-treated group. In met-AdM+cold stress group, only the SOD enzyme activity was significantly increased but CAT and GSH-P-X decreased. SOD and GSH-P-X enzyme activities were increased by cold stress but CAT was decreased in kidney. In heart tissue, CAT and GSH-P-X activities were decreased but SOD was increased in met-AdM-treated group compared to control. All enzyme activities were decreased in met-AdM+cold stress group as well as by cold stress in heart, with regard to control. Cold stress can disrupt the balance in an oxidant/antioxidant system and cause oxidative damage to kidney and heart tissues by altering the enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant status. We can suggest that met-AdM has possible roles in regulation of stress but we need further studies revealing responses of met-AdM in different tissues.

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.

Pb, Cd and Cu concentrations in leaves of Nerium oleander L. and Robinia pseudoacacia L. plants collected from industrial areas in Gaziantep-Turkey were examined for biomonitoring of atmospheric pollution using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The Pb levels in the leaves of Nerium oleander L. and Robinia pseudoacacia L. collected at a distance of 50 m from the battery plant were observed to be 2820 and 1860 mg kg(-1), respectively. The Pb, Cd, and Cu concentrations in the soils studied were in the range of 17-602, 0.142-0.656 and 12-38 mg kg(-1), respectively. Lead concentrations described above for plant leaves were found to be about 2000-fold higher than those in the same plants collected from the control area (1.0 mg Pb kg(-1) for both plant species). Similarly, Cd levels in Robinia pseudoacacia L. collected from polluted area were observed to be about 40 times higher than those from control area. Consequently, it is observed that the leaves of Neriurn oleander L. can be used for biomonitoring of Pb, and Robinia pseudoacacia L. for biomonitoring of both Pb and Cd pollution.
