Comparative immune responses of blue mussel and zebra mussel haemocytes to simultaneous chemical and bacterial exposure

Biomonitoring at the scale of the aquatic continuum and based on biomarkers, requires various representative species and a knowledge of their sensitivity to contaminants. Mussel immunomarkers are established tools for evaluating immunotoxic stress, but little is known about the consequences of an immune activation by local microorganisms on their response to pollution. This study aims to compare the sensitivity of cellular immunomarkers in two mussel species from different environments, the marine mussel Mytilus edulis (blue mussel) and the freshwater mussel Dreissena polymorpha (zebra mussel), to chemical stressors combined with bacterial challenge. Haemocytes were exposed ex vivo to the contaminants (bisphenol A, caffeine, copper chloride, oestradiol, ionomycin) for 4 h. The chemical exposures were coupled with simultaneous bacterial challenges (Vibrio splendidus and Pseudomonas fluorescens) to trigger activation of the immune response. Cellular mortality, phagocytosis efficiency and phagocytosis avidity were then measured by flow cytometry. The two mussel species had different basal levels since D. polymorpha showed higher cell mortality than M. edulis (23.9 ± 11% and 5.5 ± 3% dead cells respectively), and lower phagocytosis efficiency (52.6 ± 12% and 62.2 ± 9%), but similar phagocytosis avidity (17.4 ± 5 and 13.4 ± 4 internalised beads). Both bacterial strains led to an increase in cellular mortality (+8.4% dead cells in D. polymorpha, +4.9% in M. edulis), as well an activation of phagocytosis (+9.2% of efficient cells in D. polymorpha, +6.2% efficient cells and +3 internalised beads per cell in M. edulis). All chemicals triggered an increase in haemocyte mortality and/or phagocytotic modulations, except for bisphenol A. The two species differed in the amplitude of their response. The addition of a bacterial challenge significantly altered cell responses to chemicals with synergetic and antagonistic variations compared to a single exposure, depending on the compound used and the mussel species. This work highlights the species-specific sensitivity of mussel immunomarkers to contaminants, with or without bacterial challenge, and the necessity of considering the presence of in natura non-pathogenic microorganisms for future in situ applications of immunomarkers.

Socialization of The Processing of Liquid Waste Sea Cucumbers Into Local Microorganisms (MOL) To The Darmawisata Group In Benan Village, Lingga Regency, Riau Island

Benan is one of the islands located in Senayang District, Lingga Regency, Riau Islands. Most of the people on Benan Island work as sea cucumber fishermen, this is because the existence of sea cucumbers on the island is still abundant. The processing of liquid waste originating from post-harvest sea cucumbers in the form of wet sea cucumbers and dry sea cucumbers has not been carried out optimally, even though the more raw materials for sea cucumbers are prepared at the time of postharvest, the more waste generated will also be. The problem with partners is that the liquid waste originating from the post-harvest preparation of sea cucumbers has not been carried out optimally. The solution given to partners is education through socialization of liquid waste processing from the results of postharvest preparation of sea cucumbers into local microorganisms (MOL) in the Benan village field trip group, so that postharvest processing of sea cucumbers becomes zero waste. The methods in the activities carried out are discussion and socialization. The results obtained after this service is increasing public knowledge about sea cucumber wastewater treatment.

Bio Convective Flow of the Tangent-Hyperbolic Nano fluid Past a Flat Surface

There are many important applications of boundary layer flow of the nano fluids over the stretching sheet in manufacturing processes. A nanofluid is basically the mixture of nano particles contained in base fluid like water, glycol, and ethylene etc. nanofluid helps to improve the fluid’s thermal conductivity and also increases the rate of transfer of heat. In this research gyrotactic microorganisms are added along with nano particles within the base fluid. The governing problem flow is tackled numerically to explore velocity F'(η), temperature θ(η), concentration ϕ(η), motile microorganism density ξ(η), Nusselt number 〖 Nu〗 _x, Sherwood number 〖 Sh〗 _x and local Motile microorganism density parameter 〖 Nn〗 _x against pertinent physical parameters. Figure IV.10 and IV.11 is showing the results with various researches and it is showing the exact agreement with the paper results.

Numerical treatment of Casson nanofluid Bioconvectional flow with heat transfer due to stretching cylinder/plate: Variable physical properties

PurposeThe purpose of the current framework is to scrutinize the two-dimensional flow and heat transfer of Casson nanofluid over cylinder/plate along with impacts of thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects. Also, the effects of exponential thermal sink/source, bioconvection, and motile microorganisms are taken. Methodology/ApproachThe resulting non-linear equations (PDEs) are reformed into nonlinear ODEs by using appropriate similarity variables. The resultant non-linear (ODEs) were numerically evaluated by the use of the Bvp4c package in the mathematical solver MATLAB. FindingsThe numerical and graphical illustration regarding outcomes represents the performance of flow-involved physical parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration, and microorganism profiles. Additionally, the skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, local Sherwood number, and local microorganism density number are computed numerically for the current presented system. We noted that the velocity profile diminishes for the rising estimations of magnetic and mixed convection parameters. The Prandtl number corresponds with the declining performance of the temperature profile observed. The enhancement in the values of the Solutal Biot number and Brownian motion parameter increased in the concentration profile. OriginalityIn specific, this framework focuses on the rising heat transfer of Casson nanofluid with bioconvection by using a shooting mathematical model. The novel approach of the presented study is the use of motile microorganisms with exponential thermal sink/source in a Casson nano-fluid through a cylinder/plate. A presented study performed first time in the author’s opinion. Understanding the flow characteristics and behaviors of these nanofluids is crucial for the scientific community in the developing subject of nanofluids.

Differences in microbial community composition and factors affecting different particulate matter during autumn in three cities of Xinjiang, China

Environmental pollution has become an issue of increasing concern in China, owing to the country's rapid economic development. Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is known to be an important parameter in air quality monitoring; further, bioaerosol forms a crucial component of PM. As the climatic environments in the north and south of Xinjiang, China, are significantly different, here, atmospheric PM samples collected from three cities, Shihezi, Yining, and Tumushuk, located in different directions, were analysed for a better understanding of the spatial distribution patterns of microbial community composition of Xinjiang. The16s rDNA and 18 s rDNA were used to locate bacteria and fungi in PM2.5, PM10, and total suspended particulate matter (TSP) at the species level and genus level, and the microbial communities with the top 15 abundances were selected for analysis. The reports indicate that the most abundant group in Shihezi and Yining was Cenchrus_americanus, which belongs to Proteobacteria. The remaining 14 dominant species had their own distribution pattern in each city. The most dominant strain in Tumushuk was Bacillus_taeanensis, but this strain was not detected in Yining and Shihezi. Similarly, the most predominant fungus in Tumushuk (Microdorylaimus_miser under Myriophyllum) was not detected in the other two cities. The analysis of the effect of environmental impact factors on bacteria and fungi revealed that the impact factors such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed had a greater effect on microorganisms, while O3 had a negative correlation with most microorganisms, owing to its toxicity. Overall, the results of this study show that short-range transported air masses have a greater impact on local pollutants and microorganisms.

SOSIALISASI DAN PELATIHAN PEMBUATAN MIKROORGANISME LOKAL (MOL) BONGGOL PISANG SEBAGAI PUPUK ORGANIK CAIR DALAM MENDUKUNG PERTANIAN ORGANIK MASYARAKAT WAMENA, PAPUA INDONESIA

Abstract: Wamena is one of the areas with the potential to develop a wide variety of food crops and plantations in large and medium quantities because it is supported by its natural conditions. Wamena, especially throughout Jayawijaya Regency and even other Regencies in the Central Highlands of Papua, are known for their organic farming. In order to support and maintain the productivity of organic farming systems, as an academic activist in the agricultural sector, it is necessary to conduct training on making organic fertilizer through the use of banana weevils known as Local Microorganism Fertilizer (MoL). This training was based on observations of farmer groups in the Wesaput district, where all farmers in the farmer groups had never used organic liquid fertilizers or inorganic fertilizers as additional nutrients to increase the growth and production of their agricultural products. Therefore we try to provide understanding and approaches to farmer groups through community service on how to make Local Microorganism Liquid Fertilizer in order to increase the yields of local farmers in the Wesaput District, especially the village of Kama. As a result of this activity, we saw that the farmer group community in Wesaput gave a good response so they asked for similar activities to be carried out again so that the farmer group community was more independent in making and using liquid organic fertilizer using the natural resources around them.
