Bioremediation Options for Nuclear Sites a Review of an Emerging Technology
Callum Robinson,Matthew White-Pettigrew,Samuel Shaw,Katherine Morris,James Graham,Jonathan R. Lloyd 한국방사성폐기물학회 2022 방사성폐기물학회지 Vol.20 No.3
60+ Years of nuclear power generation has led to a significant legacy of radioactively contaminated land at a number of nuclear licenced “mega sites” around the world. The safe management and remediation of these sites is key to ensuring there environmental stewardship in the long term. Bioremediation utilizes a variety of microbially mediated processes such as, enzymatically driven metal reduction or biominerialisation, to sequester radioactive contaminants from the subsurface limiting their migration through the geosphere. Additionally, some of these process can provide environmentally stable sinks for radioactive contaminants, through formation of highly insoluble mineral phases such as calcium phosphates and carbonates, which can incorporate a range of radionuclides into their structure. Bioremediation options have been considered and deployed in preference to conventional remediation techniques at a number of nuclear “mega” sites. Here, we review the applications of bioremediation technologies at three key nuclear licenced sites; Rifle and Hanford, USA and Sellafield, UK, in the remediation of radioactively contaminated land.

Objective: In the current study we investigated neurodevelopmental changes in response to social and non-social reinforcement. Methods: Fifty-three healthy participants including 16 early adolescents (age, 10-15 years), 16 late adolescents (age, 15-18 years), and 21 young adults (age, 21-25 years) completed a social/non-social reward learning task while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging. Participants responded to fractal image stimuli and received social or non-social reward/non-rewards according to their accuracy. ANOVAs were conducted on both the blood oxygen level dependent response data and the product of a context-dependent psychophysiological interaction (gPPI) analysis involving ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and bilateral insula cortices as seed regions. Results: Early adolescents showed significantly increased activation in the amygdala and anterior insula cortex in response to non-social monetary rewards relative to both social reward/non-reward and monetary non-rewards compared to late adolescents and young adults. In addition, early adolescents showed significantly more positive connectivity between the vmPFC/bilateral insula cortices seeds and other regions implicated in reinforcement processing (the amygdala, posterior cingulate cortex, insula cortex, and lentiform nucleus) in response to non-reward and especially social non-reward, compared to late adolescents and young adults. Conclusion: It appears that early adolescence may be marked by: (i) a selective increase in responsiveness to non-social, relative to social, rewards; and (ii) enhanced, integrated functioning of reinforcement circuitry for non-reward, and in particular, with respect to posterior cingulate and insula cortices, for social non-reward.

Bulk adhesive strength of recombinant hybrid mussel adhesive protein
Cha, Hyung Joon,Hwang, Dong Soo,Lim, Seonghye,White, James D.,Matos-Perez, Cristina R.,Wilker, Jonathan J. Informa UK (TaylorFrancis) 2009 BIOFOULING -CHUR- Vol.25 No.2
<P>Mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs) have received increased attention as potential biomedical and environmental friendly adhesives. However, practical application of MAPs has been severely limited by uneconomical extraction and unsuccessful genetic production. Developing new adhesives requires access to large quantities of material and demonstrations of bulk mechanical properties. Previously, the authors designed fp-151, a fusion protein comprised of six MAP type 1 (fp-1) decapeptide repeats at each MAP type 5 (fp-5) terminus and successfully expressed it in Escherichia coli. This recombinant hybrid protein exhibited high-level expression, a simple purification and high biocompatibility as well as strong adhesive ability on a micro-scale. In the present work, investigations on the bulk adhesive properties of semi-purified ( approximately 90% purity) fusion fp-151 were performed in air. The unmodified recombinant fp-151, as expressed, contains tyrosine residues and showed significant shear-adhesive forces ( approximately 0.33 MPa). Adhesion strength increased ( approximately 0.45 MPa) after enzymatic oxidation of tyrosine residues to l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) groups. Addition of cross-linkers such as iron(III), manganese(III) and periodate (IO(4)(-)) generally enhanced adhesion, although too much addition decreased adhesion. Among the three cross-linking reagents examined, the non-metallic oxidant periodate showed the highest shear-adhesive forces ( approximately 0.86 MPa). In addition, it was found that adhesive strengths could be increased by adding weights to the samples. The highest adhesion strength found was that of DOPA-containing fp-151 cross-linked with periodate and having weights applied to the samples ( approximately 1.06 MPa). Taken together, the first bulk-scale adhesive force measurements are presented for an expressed recombinant hybrid mussel adhesive protein.</P>

Microbiome diversity in carriers of fluoroquinolone resistant Escherichia coli

Purpose: Fluoroquinolone-resistant (FQR) Escherichia coli causes transrectal prostate biopsy infections. In order to reduce colonization of these bacteria in carriers, we would like to understand the surrounding microbiome to determine targets for decolonization. Materials and Methods: We perform an observational study to investigate the microbiome differences in men with and without FQR organisms found on rectal culture. A rectal swab with two culturettes was performed on men before an upcoming prostate biopsy procedure as standard of care to perform “targeted prophylaxis.” Detection of FQR was performed by the standard microbiology lab inoculates the swab onto MacConkey agar containing ciprofloxacin. The extra swab was sent for 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing (MiSeq paired-end) using the V1V2 primer. Alpha and beta-diversity analysis were performed using QIIME. We used PERMANOVA to evaluate the statistical significance of beta-diversity distances within and between groups of interest. Results: We collected 116 rectal swab samples before biopsy for 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. We identified 18 isolates (15.5%, 18/116) that were positive and had relative reduced diversity profiles (p<0.05). Enterobacteriaceae were significantly over-represented in the FQR subjects (adjusted p=0.03). Conclusions: Microbiome analysis determined that men colonized with FQR bacteria have less diverse bacterial communities (dysbiosis), higher levels of Enterobacteriaceae and reduced levels of Prevotella disiens. These results may have implications in pre/probiotic intervention studies.
