Biodegradation of organic chemicals emitted to the environment is carried out by mixed microbial communities growing on multiple natural and xenobiotic substrates at low concentrations. This study aims to (1) perform simulation type biodegradation tests at a wide range of mixture concentrations, (2) determine the concentration effect on the biodegradation kinetics of individual chemicals, and (3) link the mixture concentration and degradation to microbial community dynamics. Two hundred ninety-four parallel test systems were prepared using wastewater treatment plant effluent as inoculum and passive dosing to add a mixture of 19 chemicals at 6 initial concentration levels (ng/L to mg/L). After 1-30 days of incubation at 12 °C, abiotic and biotic test systems were analyzed using arrow solid phase microextraction and GC-MS/MS. Biodegradation kinetics at the highest test concentrations were delayed for several test substances but enhanced for the reference chemical naphthalene. Test concentration thus shifted the order in which chemicals were degraded. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing indicated that the highest test concentration (17 mg C/L added) supported the growth of the genera , , and , whereas no such effect was observed at lower concentrations. The chemical and microbial results confirm that too high mixture concentrations should be avoided when aiming at determining environmentally relevant biodegradation data.

Using fluorescence anisotropy to monitor chaperone dispersal of RNA-binding protein condensates.

Haneul Yoo D Allan Drummond

STAR Protoc 2022 Jun 18;3(2):101409. Epub 2022 May 18.

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA.

Heat stress triggers a specific set of proteins in budding yeast to form solid-like biomolecular condensates, which are dispersed by molecular chaperones. Here, we describe a protocol to study the kinetics of chaperone-facilitated condensate dispersal using biochemical reconstitution and fluorescence anisotropy. Although the current protocol is tailored to study heat-induced condensates of poly(A)-binding protein (Pab1), the protocol can be modified to study any protein which shows differential substrate binding activity upon condensation.

The identification and validation of biomarkers of food intake (BFIs) is a promising approach to develop more objective and complementary tools to the traditional dietary assessment methods. Concerning dairy, their evaluation in terms of intake is not simple, given the variety of existing foods, making it difficult to establish the association between specific dairy products consumption and the effects on human health, which is also dependent on the study population. Here, we aimed at identifying BFI of both milk (M) and yogurt (Y) in 14 healthy young (20-35 years) and 14 older (65-80 years). Read More

Laboratory of Experimental Medicine and Pediatrics, University of Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium.

Introduction: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a lethal cancer for which early-stage diagnosis remains a major challenge. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath proved to be potential biomarkers for MPM diagnosis, but translational studies are needed to elucidate which VOCs originate from the tumor itself and thus are specifically related to MPM cell metabolism.

Methods: An model was set-up to characterize the headspace VOC profiles of six MPM and two lung cancer cell lines using thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Read More

Background: Adiposity and mitochondrial dysfunction are related factors contributing to metabolic disease development. This pilot study examined whether in vivo and ex vivo indices of mitochondrial metabolism were differentially associated with body composition in males and females.

Methods: Thirty-four participants including 19 females (mean 27 yr) and 15 males (mean 29 yr) had body composition assessed by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Read More
