AB  - Varroa infestation is considered a major threat to honeybees due to its strong impact on the colony, attacking larval cells, increasing bee mortality, and serving as a vector of pathogens. Coumaphos is an organophosphate-based acaricide insecticide which is frequently used to control Varroa (Varroa destructor) mites in the honey bee (Apis melifera) colonies. The accumulation of these lipophilic contaminants in honey and beeswax may affect honey bee health, mainly honey bee larvae which are the most sensitive, and negatively affect queen quality. In this study, we analyzed honey samples from hives of honey bees that were treated with Coumaphos, as well as the samples of pure Coumafos. The front-face fluorescence measurements of analyed honey samples were recorded using an Fl3-221 P spectrofluorimeter, with a 450 W Xenon lamp. Obtained results showed an emission peak with maximum around 400 nm, after excitation at 340 nm. It could be related to the presence of Coumaphos in honey samples, which showed the characteristic position of emission maximum at the same wavelength. These results showed that fluorescence spectroscopy may be useful as a fast and sensitive method, for the efficient and specific determination of toxic substances such as Coumaphos residues in honey. Due to the proven toxic effects on honey bees, as well as on humans, monitoring hazardous contaminants in honey is of crucial importance in the field of food and agriculture.

AB  - Silica is beneficial element for plants. Many studies of silica show the useful effects that Si can provide on plant-environment relationships in a wide variety of crops, as increase in growth and yield and improvement of resistance to metal toxicity, salt stress, drought resistance etc. The occurrence of Si within a plant is a result of its uptake in the form of soluble Si(OH)4 or Si(OH)3O ion from the soil, and its polymerization at a final location. Si is mostly accumulated in the cell walls (CWs), thus providing strengthening of CWs, increasing mechanical strength, and alleviating effects of various biotic and abiotic types of stress. Lignin, as one of the main components of the plant CW, is a natural phenolic polymer with high molecular weight and complex structure. Accumulation of silica in plants is directly connected with chemistry and structure of lignin. Silicon affects the composition of CWs by its binding to the phenolic and carbohydrate CW components in polymerization reactions by altering linkages of non-cellulosic polymers and lignin. We studied, in an in vitro system, the interaction of SiO2 with the peroxidase catalyzed polymerization of a lignin monomer into the lignin model compound (DHP). Fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy combined with AFM technique showed that Si was bound to the final polymer, and the structure of the Si-DHP differed from pure DHP. We show that Si significantly influence on lignin structure. The results contribute to understanding of Si binding to lignin in cell walls, which may have impact on possible Si applications in agriculture.

AB  - Mung bean (Vigna Radiata L.) seeds are an important source of both nutrients (such as proteins, fibers, vitamins) and a variety of bioactive compounds (like phenolic compounds). Ultraviolet (UV) light has an important function as a major environmental signal important for plant growth and development, but at the same time it may cause certain damaging effects on macromolecules and other cellular components. Plants respond to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), caused by UV irradiation, by activating changes in morphology, physiology, or production of secondary metabolites. Some of these mechanisms increase antioxidant capacity in order to reduce the harmful effect of produced ROS. In the present research, the duration of exposure to UV-A irradiation and its influence on antioxidant activity of mung bean seeds were studied. Seeds were exposed to constant irradiation for 1 or 3 hours using a UV-A lamp (93μW/cm2) at a 50 cm distance. Antioxidant activity was tested using DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay. The results indicate a significant increase in antioxidant activity of the UV-A irradiated seeds after 1 hour (74,45 % ± 0,40), compared to the control (72,85 % ± 1,55). After prolonged exposure, measured antioxidant activity significantly increased (77,99 % ± 0,71). Our results show a correlation between duration of UV-A irradiation and the increase in antioxidant activity. This could be beneficial in agriculture for producing fortified food.

AB  - The enzymatic degradation of azo dyes is a promising alternative to ineffective chemical and physical remediation methods. Lignin peroxidase (LiP) fromPhanerochaete chrysosporiumis a heme-containing lignin-degrading oxidoreductase that catalyzes the peroxide-dependent oxidation of diverse molecules, including industrial dyes. This enzyme is therefore ideal as a starting point for protein engineering. Accordingly, we subjected two positions (165 and 264) in the environment of the catalytic Trp171 residue to saturation mutagenesis, and the resulting library of 10(4) independent clones was expressed on the surface of yeast cells. This yeast display library was used for the selection of variants with the ability to break down structurally-distinct azo dyes more efficiently. We identified mutants with up to 10-fold greater affinity than wild-type LiP for three diverse azo dyes (Evans blue, amido black 10B and Guinea green) and up to 13-fold higher catalytic activity. Additionally, cell wall fragments displaying mutant LiP enzymes were prepared by toluene-induced cell lysis, achieving significant increases in both enzyme activity and stability compared to a whole-cell biocatalyst. LiP-coated cell wall fragments retained their initial dye degradation activity after 10 reaction cycles each lasting 8 h. The best-performing mutants removed up to 2.5-fold more of each dye than the wild-type LiP in multiple reaction cycles.

AB  - The phosphates (Pi) are nowadays recognized as pollutants. We studied the effect of Pi (0.625-12.500 mM KH2PO4) in the culture medium on in vitro grown 2-month-old Populus alba trees. The levels of sugar phosphates and vacuolar and cytoplasmic Pi in cell compartments of roots and stems were determined using P-31 NMR, while tissue-specific micro- and macroelements mapping on stem cross-sections were performed using synchrotron-based X-ray microfluorescence. Plants grown on 0.625 mM Pi (MS/2 medium) showed a survival rate of 70%. With the increase in Pi concentrations up to 6.250 mM, plant growth and survival increased, without changes in total P content per mass or in the levels of cytoplasmic and vacuolar phosphates, in both stems and roots, while the levels of Fe, Cu, Zn, Ca and Mn in stems increased. Further increase in Pi to 9.375 and 12.500 mM in the medium resulted in inhibited growth comparable with plants grown on MS/2, with the increase in total P content per mass up to 50%, in both stems and roots, but with no changes in cytoplasmic and vacuolar phosphates; 12.500 mM Pi affected even plant survival (70%) and thus might be considered as mildly toxic. P-31 NMR results indicate that the high tolerance of P. alba to increased Pi could result from its ability to maintain an intracellular P homeostasis, despite P accumulation up to 50%, in both stems and roots, indicating P. alba as a promising wood species for dendroremediation.

abstract = "The phosphates (Pi) are nowadays recognized as pollutants. We studied the effect of Pi (0.625-12.500 mM KH2PO4) in the culture medium on in vitro grown 2-month-old Populus alba trees. The levels of sugar phosphates and vacuolar and cytoplasmic Pi in cell compartments of roots and stems were determined using P-31 NMR, while tissue-specific micro- and macroelements mapping on stem cross-sections were performed using synchrotron-based X-ray microfluorescence. Plants grown on 0.625 mM Pi (MS/2 medium) showed a survival rate of 70%. With the increase in Pi concentrations up to 6.250 mM, plant growth and survival increased, without changes in total P content per mass or in the levels of cytoplasmic and vacuolar phosphates, in both stems and roots, while the levels of Fe, Cu, Zn, Ca and Mn in stems increased. Further increase in Pi to 9.375 and 12.500 mM in the medium resulted in inhibited growth comparable with plants grown on MS/2, with the increase in total P content per mass up to 50%, in both stems and roots, but with no changes in cytoplasmic and vacuolar phosphates; 12.500 mM Pi affected even plant survival (70%) and thus might be considered as mildly toxic. P-31 NMR results indicate that the high tolerance of P. alba to increased Pi could result from its ability to maintain an intracellular P homeostasis, despite P accumulation up to 50%, in both stems and roots, indicating P. alba as a promising wood species for dendroremediation.",

AB  - We present changes in Tacitus bellus antioxidative system that specifically correspond to subsequent phases of hemibiotroph Fusarium verticillioides infection revealed by histological analysis. T. bellus response to spore germination 6 h post inoculation (hpi), manifested as first oxidative burst, was characterized by transient decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) content, transient increase in catalase (CAT), low level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activity, as well as with transient decrease in total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total phenol content (TPC) and phenylalanine ammonium lyase activity (PAL), and no changes in polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, or phenolic profile. During the biotrophic phase of F. verticillioides infection, characterized by hyphae spread intercellularly in epidermal and mesophyll tissue, the host antioxidative system was suppressed. The transition to necrotrophic phase of F. verticillioides infection (inter- and intracellular colonization and sporulation), occurred 3-4 days post inoculation (dpi). During the necrotrophic phase, 5-7 dpi, slowed progression of colonization of T. bellus mesophyll cells occurred and it coincided with sharp increase in MDA content and CAT, SOD and POD activities, but the drop in TAC, TPC content, and PPO activity, as well as the production of phytotoxin fusaric acid. Presented results add to the knowledge of events and mechanisms related to the transition from biotrophy to necrotrophy in F. verticillioides.

AB  - BACKGROUND Cereal seeds, such as maize seeds, are frequently contaminated with aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), one of the most dangerous naturally occurring carcinogens. In plants, phenolamides are involved in biotic stress response. The data on variations of phenolamides in AFB1-containing seeds are limited. RESULTS Five polyamine conjugates, including two spermidine and three putrescine conjugates, were tentatively identified in methanolic extracts, using HPLC-DAD-MS. The ratio of putrescine to spermidine conjugates changed with increasing AFB1 concentration in a logistic dose-response manner, with a ratio of below 1 up to a concentration of 51.51 mu g kg(-1), and approximately 2.54 and 3 at higher concentrations of 177.4 and 308.13 mu g kg(-1), respectively. The observed variations of the total antioxidant activity and the total phenolic content may support this biphasic behaviour of the seeds against AFB1 stress. CONCLUSIONS The obtained data are a contribution to the understanding of the roles of polyamine conjugates in seed defence to increasing AFB1 concentrations. According to our knowledge, this study reports for the first time the biphasic response of maize seeds to increasing AFB1 contamination level, comprising the induction of polyamine conjugate accumulation and variation in the ratio of conjugates. This dose-response relationship may provide useful information in the field of agricultural and food chemistry as an indicator of AFB1 contamination level and, hence, for selecting an appropriate seed quality.

AB  - Proteins and phenols are minor, but important components of honey. Phenols originate from nectar and proteins from nectar/pollen and bees themselves. These two types of compounds are important for growth and development of bee colonies, and also for their defense capacity. Their quantity in honey depends on food accessibility and forage during the year. In this preliminary study, we aimed to see yearly dynamics of ratio of phenols and proteins in honey for a bee colony, and to observe the possible effects of extended oxalic acid antivarroa treatment on honey composition regarding proteins and phenols. Since proteins and phenols are fluorescently active, for measurement of phenol/protein ratio in honey we applied steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy as a rapid and non-destructive method. We determined the ratio of the spectral components related to these two main fluorophores in honey, proteins and phenolic compounds, as a ratiometric indicator of variability in honey samples collected in different seasons. We found that oxalic acid does not influence proteins' and phenolics' composition of honey, based on the spectral analysis. Since proteins in honey originate mainly from bees colony, this result indicates that oxalic acid did not change bee synthesis of proteins, indicating that oxalic acid, as a protective agent, is not harmful to the bees.

AB  - Production of soluble cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) mutant proteins previously evolved on the surface of S. cerevisiae yeast cells was established for use in biosensors and biofuel cells. For this purpose, mutant cdh genes tm (D20N, A64T, V592M), H5 (D20N, V22A, A64T, V592M) and H9 (D20N, A64T, T84A, A261P, V592M, E674G, N715S) were cloned to pPICZ alpha plasmid and transformed into Pichia pastoris KM71H strain for high expression in a soluble form and kinetic characterization. After 6 days of expression under methanol induction, the CDHs were purified by ultrafiltration, ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. Sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis confirmed the purity and presence of a single protein band at a molecular weight of 100 kDa. Kinetic characterization showed that the H5 mutant had the highest catalytic constant of 43.5 s(-1) for lactose, while the mutant H9 showed the highest specificity constant for lactose of 132 mM(-1) s(-1). All three mutant proteins did not change the pH optimum that was between 4.5 and 5.5. Compared to the previously obtained wild types and mutants of CDH from Phanerochaete chrysosporium, the variants reported in this article had higher activity and specificity that together with high protein expression rate in P. pastoris, makes them good candidates for use in biotechnology for lactobionic acid production and biosensor manufacture.

AB  - Upon release in response to stress, epinephrine (Epi) may interact with labile iron pool in human plasma with potentially important (patho)physiological consequences. We have shown that Epi and Fe3+ build stable 1:1 high-spin bidentate complex at physiological pH, and that Epi does not undergo degradation in the presence of iron. However, the interactions of Epi with the more soluble Fe2+, and the impact of iron on biological activity of Epi are still not known. Herein we showed that Epi and Fe2+ build colorless complex which is stable under anaerobic conditions. In the presence of O-2, Epi promoted the oxidation of Fe2+ and the formation of Epi-Fe3+ complex. Cyclic voltammetry showed that mid-point potential of Epi-Fe2+ complex is very low (-582 mV vs. standard hydrogen electrode), which explains catalyzed oxidation of Fe2+. Next, we examined the impact of iron binding on biological performance of Epi using patch clamping in cell culture with constitutive expression of adrenergic receptors. Epi alone evoked an increase of outward currents, whereas Epi in the complex with Fe3+ did not. This implies that the binding of Epi to adrenergic receptors and their activation is prevented by the formation of complex with iron. Pro-oxidative activity of Epi-Fe2+ complex may represent a link between chronic stress and cardiovascular problems. On the other hand, labile iron could serve as a modulator of biological activity of ligands. Such interactions may be important in human pathologies that are related to iron overload or deficiency.

Cyclic voltammetry showed that mid-point potential of Epi-Fe2+ complex is very low (-582 mV vs. standard hydrogen electrode), which explains catalyzed oxidation of Fe2+. Next, we examined the impact of iron binding on biological performance of Epi using patch clamping in cell culture with constitutive expression of adrenergic receptors. Epi alone evoked an increase of outward currents, whereas Epi in the complex with Fe3+ did not. This implies that the binding of Epi to adrenergic receptors and their activation is prevented by the formation of complex with iron. Pro-oxidative activity of Epi-Fe2+ complex may represent a link between chronic stress and cardiovascular problems. On the other hand, labile iron could serve as a modulator of biological activity of ligands. Such interactions may be important in human pathologies that are related to iron overload or deficiency.",

AB  - Phenolic compounds of 12 strawberry cultivars were profiled using spectrophotometry, spectrofluorometry, and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, coupled with multivariate regression analysis. Total phenolic content, total anthocyanin content, and total antioxidant capacity (TPC, TACY, and TAC, respectively) and concentrations of individual phenolics were evaluated, and the multivariate statistic was employed to identify the most promising cultivars based on their phenolic content. According to the principal component analysis, TAC was strongly correlated with the TPC (0.81), pointing out its importance in overall antioxidant activity. 'Joly', 'Laetitia', and 'Asia' cultivars were distinguished from others as the richest in concerning identified anthocyanins, almost all flavonoids and phenolic acids. Multivariate curve resolution with alternating least squares indicated the presence of two main types of fluorophores assigned to anthocyanins and phenolics, in which emission spectral ratios also showed the highest values in the referred cultivars. These cultivars could be recommended to consumers in terms of the health functionality of fruit.

AB  - Fluorapatite doped with rare-earth elements has a wide-range of biomedical applications. Here, a new type of fluorapatite nanocrystals doped with praseodymium (FAP-Pr) with excitation-emission profiles in visible part of the spectrum is fabricated. Energy levels of Pr3+ activator ion contain metastable multiples states that offer the possibility of efficient multicolor emission lines in FAP nanocrystals. Three types of FAP-Pr nanocrystals with 0.1%, 0.5% and 1% atomic percent of Pr3+ (along with the undoped FAP control sample) are studied. Their novel chemical production method is described, the FAP-Pr nanocrystals structure, biocompatibility and the suitability for cell imaging are analyzed. Physicochemical characterization confirms crystals down to nanometer size. In addition, quantum-chemical calculation predicts that Pr3+ ions are incorporated into the FAP crystal lattice at Ca2 (6 h) sites. In vitro viability results shows that FAP-Pr nanocrystals are nontoxic to live cells. Additionally, the cell uptake of the FAP-Pr nanocrystals is studied using fluorescence-based widefield and confocal microscopy. The nanocrystals show characteristic green emission at 545 nm (P-3(0)-> H-3(5) transition of Pr3+ ion) and orange emission at 600 nm (D-1(2)-> H-3(4)), which we use to discriminate from cell autofluorescence background. Orthogonal projections across 3D confocal stacks show that the nanocrystals are able to enter the cells positioning themselves within the cytoplasm. Overall, the new FAP-Pr nanocrystals are biocompatible and of the tested types, the 0.5% Pr3+ doped nanocrystals show the highest promise as a tracking nanoparticle probe for bioimaging applications.

Using optical fibers to measure absorption in intact conifer leaves, relative numbers of chloroplasts, and pigment content

AB  - For investigations of ongoing processes in plants, such as photosynthesis in conifer leaves, nondestructive and noninvasive measuring techniques are needed. In this paper, a novel approach has been developed for the measurement of chloroplasts' numbers and pigment contents in conifer leaves based on the measurements of leaf absorption spectra using optical fibers and an array spectrophotometer. To eliminate the effect of scattering on the measured absorption spectra, a strategy has been applied taking advantage of the combined use of thin optical fibers normal to the needle's longitudinal axis and the phenomenon that scattering is largest in the forward direction. The optical path in the leaf is nearly the distance between the fiber tips; thus, we were able to obtain the absorption spectrum of the pigments in situ. A effect of the measured absorption spectra, occurring due to the organization of pigments in the leaf and interaction between light and leaf interior, can be accounted for by using the so-called Duysens transformation. Using this transformation, pigment contents and the relative number of chloroplasts can be obtained from the measured absorption spectra. We applied the method to observe pigment concentrations in different stages of the greening process in the leaves of two conifer species, Taxus baccata and Picea abies. The presented method may be used to estimate changes in chloroplast number and pigment content during various phases of greening of a species and to observe differences among various species.

In this paper, a novel approach has been developed for the measurement of chloroplasts' numbers and pigment contents in conifer leaves based on the measurements of leaf absorption spectra using optical fibers and an array spectrophotometer. To eliminate the effect of scattering on the measured absorption spectra, a strategy has been applied taking advantage of the combined use of thin optical fibers normal to the needle's longitudinal axis and the phenomenon that scattering is largest in the forward direction. The optical path in the leaf is nearly the distance between the fiber tips; thus, we were able to obtain the absorption spectrum of the pigments in situ. A effect of the measured absorption spectra, occurring due to the organization of pigments in the leaf and interaction between light and leaf interior, can be accounted for by using the so-called Duysens transformation. Using this transformation, pigment contents and the relative number of chloroplasts can be obtained from the measured absorption spectra. We applied the method to observe pigment concentrations in different stages of the greening process in the leaves of two conifer species, Taxus baccata and Picea abies. The presented method may be used to estimate changes in chloroplast number and pigment content during various phases of greening of a species and to observe differences among various species.",

AB  - Phenolic compounds are one of the most common pollutants in aqueous systems, so their removal
from water is of major interest. Among biocatalysts used for phenol removal, horseradish peroxidase
is the most investigated for this purpose. Enzyme inactivation is a major problem which could be
successfully overcome by immobilization of the enzyme onto different polymers. Tyramine-alginate
micro-beads were tested for the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase. Different concentrations of
tyramine-alginate were used and their influence on specific activity of the enzyme was tested.
Increasing concentration of oxidized alginate results in increase of specific activity. Immobilized HRP
was tested for phenol removal in a batch reactor. Presented results were obtained with HRP
immobilized within 10 mol% tyramine-alginate micro-beads. These biocatalysts can be used up to
three cycles.

ensure a reasonably high harvest and seed quality. In this work, we study the effect of aflatoxin
induced stress on the seed viability concerning the germination, as well as the estimation on the
impact on the viability using fluorescence spectroscopy. Our results showed that the contaminated
seeds exhibit significant decreases in the percent of germination, even at low levels, if compared to the
uncontaminated seeds (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the fluorescence ratio of 453/680 and 680/751, could
be used for the rapid screening of the viability of the maize seeds.

AB  - Horseradish peroxidase (HRP, E.C. 1.11.1.7) catalyzes oxidation of aqueous aromatic compounds
using hydrogen peroxide. Enzymatic treatment methods for phenol removal from wastewaters has
become an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative for the traditional methods.
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) derivative with tyramine attached via amide bond to carboxyl groups
has been chosen as carrier for immobilization. In effort to overcome the main disadvantage of
entrapment immobilization method, loss of enzyme activity due to washing out from the carrier, HRP
was modified in a reductive amination reaction and tyramine was bound to the enzyme.
Immobilization of tyramine-HRP onto tyramide-carboxymethyl cellulose carrier was carried in an
emulsion polymerization reaction that produced carboxymethyl cellulose microbeads. The highest
specific activity of the obtained biocatalyst was 0.227 U/ml and after 48h of storage 0.197 U/ml.
Immobilized tyramine-HRP retained 87% of activity after 48 h. Immobilized HRP is a suitable
candidate for wastewater treatment.

AB  - Steady state fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for
spectral analysis was used to differentiate multifloral honeys from different parts of Serbia. The
emission spectra were recorded in the wavelength range 280 – 550 nm, after excitation in the 270 –
370 nm range. After normalization of the spectra, chemometric evaluation of the spectral data was
carried out using principal component analysis (PCA). This study indicates that front-face
fluorescence spectroscopy is a promising technique for the authentication of geographical origin of
honey and may also be useful for determination of the botanical origin within the same unifloral honey
type.

AB  - Plant cell walls are composed of a framework of cellulose microfibrils that are
interconnected with heteropolysaccharides (lignin, hemicelluloses) in a specific
manner. Plant cell walls form a large part of the plant body and define its
characteristics. Structural organisation of the cell wall and related polymers is
important for both mechanical properties of plants and chemical reactions occurring
in the wall space, especially in the response to stress.By using imaging FTIR
microscopy, run in transmission mode and at different polarisation modes (from 0° to
90°), it is possible to follow the chemical variability and the orientation of cell wall
polymers (cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin) of the Arabidopsis thaliana stem. The
polarised FTIR measurements indicated that both xylan and lignin have parallel
orientation with regard to the orientation of cellulose. It is believed that this structuring
of lignin in the S2 layer of the cell wall might be a result of the spatial constraints
within the cell wall, occuring due to the previous deposition of
cellulose/hemicellulose in a strongly oriented assembly.
