Acute toxicity of deoxynivalenol and bioremediation of a highly effective deoxynivalenol degrading Achromobacter spanius P-9 on zebrafish embryos and adults
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the mostly concerned mycotoxins and several microbes showed bioremediation effects on DON toxic effects. In this study, the acute toxicity of a new DON degrading strain Achromobacter spanius P-9 with DON on zebrafish embryos and adults were firstly performed. For zebrafish embryos, bacterial concentrations of 2.5 × 10 7 CFU/mL and 5.0 × 10 7 CFU/mL had no significant effects on growth and development. However, at 7.5 × 10 7 CFU/mL, some effects were observed, and at 10.0 × 10 7 CFU/mL, the embryo survival rate decreased to 70%, with 3.3% teratogenicity. Higher bacterial concentrations correlated with faster heart rates. DON (100 μg/mL) significantly reduced embryo survival to 36.7% in 96 h. Bacterial solutions at 7.5 × 10 7 CFU/mL and 10.0 × 10 7 CFU/mL expanded the zebrafish intestinal tissue wall, while DON at 100 μg/mL negatively impacted intestinal morphology. Liver tissue in zebrafish exposed to Achromobacter spanius P-9 showed no significant differences from the control group. However, exposure to DON solution increased liver fluorescence intensity and caused liver cell changes, including edema, vacuolization, and blurred boundaries. For adult zebrafish, the ROS and 8-OHdG contents in the exposure group increased with the increase of bacterial solution concentration, the SOD enzyme activity, CAT enzyme activity, GST enzyme activity and MDA was not significantly different with the control group. Compared with the control group, the content of ROS, GST enzyme activity, MDA and 8-OHdG after DON treatment showed an upward trend, SOD and CAT enzyme activities showed a decreasing trend. Achromobacter spanius P-9 has no obvious inhibitory effect on the growth and development of zebrafish embryos and has no obvious death and toxicity during the growth of adult fish, providing data support for the future application of this strain in the biodegradation of DON.
