Grain germination increases the contents of benzoxazinoids and the antioxidant capacity of wheat and differentially affects the phytochemical composition of hard and soft wheat cultivars. It was investigated whether wheat cultivars (sprouted or not) with distinct grain texture characteristics (BRS Guaraim, soft vs. BRS Marcante, hard texture) would...

Microbial ecology
The efficacy of drugs widely varies in individuals, and the gut microbiota plays an important role in this variability. The commensal microbiota living in the human gut encodes several enzymes that chemically modify systemic and orally administered drugs, and such modifications can lead to activation, inactivation, toxification, altered stability, ...

Environmental toxicology and chemistry
Computational models that predict chemical bioaccumulation in fish generally account for biotransformation using an apparent first-order whole-body rate constant (kB ; d-1 ). The use of such models requires, therefore, that methods exist for estimating kB , ideally without the need to expose live animals. One promising approach for estimating kB in...

Biodegradation
Understanding the biotransformation mechanisms of toxic sulfur-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PASH) pollutants such as benzothiophene (BT) is useful for predicting their environmental fates. In the natural environment, nondesulfurizing hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria are major active contributors to PASH biodegradation at petroleum-cont...

Ovarian cells are critical for reproduction and steroidogenesis, which are functions that can be impacted by exposure to xenobiotics. As in other extra-hepatic tissues, biotransformation events may occur at the ovarian level. Such metabolic events deserve interest, notably as they may modulate the overall exposure and toxicity of xenobiotics. In th...

Spent coffee grounds (SCG) is a solid waste generated from coffee brewing. We recently developed a novel SCG hydrolysate-derived alcoholic beverage fermented with Lachancea thermotolerans Concerto and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ML Prime. To further understand the potential health benefits of the fermented SCG hydrolysate alcoholic beverage, an u...

Despite not being redox-active metals, Cd and Zn can disrupt cellular redox homeostasis by acting pro-oxidatively. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of exposure to Zn (14 and 72 mg/L) and Cd (7.7 and 77 mg/L) for 24 and 48 h on oxidative and antioxidative parameters and the activity of glutathione-S-transferase in Artemia franciscana...

In this review, research on the use of microalgae as an option for bioremediation purposes of pharmaceutical compounds is reported and discussed thoroughly. Pharmaceuticals have been detected in water bodies around the world, attracting attention towards the increasing potential risks to humans and aquatic biota. Unfortunately, pharmaceuticals have...

Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are emerging contaminants of growing concern, and there is limited information about the bacterial transformation of OPEs. In this study, we investigated the biotransformation of tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (TBOEP), a frequently detected alkyl-OPE by a bacterial enrichment culture under aerobic conditions. The enrich...

Ocean acidification potentially influences the biotoxicity of metals and the antioxidant defense systems of marine organisms. This study investigated how pCO2-driven seawater acidification (SA) affected aqueous-phase copper (Cu) toxicity in the juvenile flounder Paralichthys olivaceus from the perspective of hepatic oxidative stress and damage to b...
