AB  - The impact of ionizing radiation on microalgae represents an important biotechnological and environmental issue. However, it has not been sufficiently investigated. Herein, we analyzed the effects of lowdose X-radiation on the growth, lipid production, and chlorophyll (Chl) and carotenoids content in Chlorella sorokiniana (CCAP 211/8K), which is both, a model and biotechnologically relevant species. C. sorokiniana culture was grown in 3N-BBM+V medium, at 22°C with a continuous photon flux of 120 μmol m−2 s−1. X-ray irradiation was applied in the early exponential phase of growth, at different doses (1, 2, 5, 10, 20 Gy) and rates (0.06, 0.24, 0.55 Gy/min). Parameters were monitored for 30 days. The exposure to 2 Gy and 5 Gy had a positive impact on biomass production. Dry weight was significantly higher in treated cultures than controls at days 25 and 30. Total lipid content (according to Nile Red fluorescence assay) was increased at day 30 in cultures exposed to 1 Gy (0.06 Gy/min) and 5 Gy (0.24 Gy/min). Chl content was increased for these doses in the exponential phase of growth. Chl b and carotenoids content was not significantly affected by irradiation. It is noteworthy that higher doses (10 and 20 Gy) had suppressing effects on growth and lipid production. The positive effects of ionizing radiation on biomass and lipid production can be attributed to the phenomenon of radiation hormesis (beneficial effects of low dose radiation on different biological parameters). Radiation hormesis has been shown previously documented on a number of plant species, and can be potentially employed in microalgae industry. On the other hand, microalgae are exposed to increased levels of ionizing irradiation in aquatic systems that are infested with radionuclides either naturally or by anthropogenic activity. Our results may add to the understanding of eco-physiology of
microalgae in such systems.

AB  - An increase in the copper pool in body fluids has been related to a number of pathological conditions, including infections. Copper ions may affect antibiotics via the formation of coordination bonds and/or redox reactions. Herein, we analyzed the interactions of Cu2+ with eight beta-lactam antibiotics using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, EPR spectroscopy, and electrochemical methods. Penicillin G did not show any detectable interactions with Cu2+. Ampicillin, amoxicillin and cephalexin formed stable colored complexes with octahedral coordination environment of Cu2+ with tetragonal distortion, and primary amine group as the site of coordinate bond formation. These beta-lactams increased the solubility of Cu2+ in the phosphate buffer. Ceftazidime and Cu2+ formed a complex with a similar geometry and gave rise to an organic radical. Ceftriaxone-Cu2+ complex appears to exhibit different geometry. All complexes showed 1: 1 stoichiometry. Cefaclor reduced Cu2+ to Cu1+ that further reacted with molecular oxygen to produce hydrogen peroxide. Finally, meropenem underwent degradation in the presence of copper. The analysis of activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus showed that the effects of meropenem, amoxicillin, ampicillin, and ceftriaxone were significantly hindered in the presence of copper ions. The interactions with copper ions should be taken into account regarding the problem of antibiotic resistance and in the selection of the most efficient antimicrobial therapy for patients with altered copper homeostasis.
