Abstract

Plasmid pPR328 has been constructed for use as a chloramphenicol-resistant, intermediate cloning vector when manipulating DNA fragments cloned in vectors of the pUC family. The method used in its construction may be of general use for the replacement of the ampicillin resistance marker of pBR322-based plasmids with other drug resistance cassettes.

Detoxifying biotransformation of chloramphenicol by Exiguobacterium sp. CAP4 and its bioaugmentation of chloramphenicol biodegradation in simulated wastewater.

The extensive use of chloramphenicol (CAP) in livestock leads the accumulation of CAP in livestock manures, threatening environmental and human health. Therefore, eliminating or reducing CAP concentration in manures before its re-utilization and application through microbial remediation is necessary. Exiguobacterium sp. CAP4, isolated from the plastisphere in duck manures, was capable of degrading CAP with the biodegradation efficiency of 97.8 % at initial CAP concentration of 5 mg/L within 4 days. A total of twenty-four biotransformation products were determined, including two novel transformation products, TP166 and TP203, enriched the integrity of CAP biodegradation pathways. Furthermore, the biotransformation process was proposed as a detoxifying process through biotransformation products toxicity evaluation. Notably, Exiguobacterium sp. CAP4 successfully colonized in the cow manures after inoculation, and bioaugmented the biodegradation of CAP in virgin cow manures. This study significantly extended our understanding of the CAP biotransformation fate, and provided a promising bacterial strain for bioremediation of CAP containing wastewater in situ.

Drug release from differently structured monoolein/poloxamer nanodispersions studied with differential pulse polarography and ultrafiltration at low pressure.

Aqueous colloidal monoolein/poloxamer dispersions are under investigation as drug delivery systems. Depending on the composition and preparation procedure these dispersions may either contain predominantly vesicular particles or nanoparticles of cubic inner structure. To study the influence of ultrastructure on drug release, corresponding dispersions loaded with the model drugs diazepam (two different concentrations) and chloramphenicol were prepared by high-pressure homogenization with or without subsequent heat treatment. The dispersions were characterized with regard to particle size and their ultrastructure was confirmed with small angle X-ray diffractometry. Two techniques with high time resolution, differential pulse polarography (DPP) and ultrafiltration at low pressure were compared for their suitability to monitor rapid release from the dispersions. Instantaneous release was found for both drugs independent on the type of particle structure with the amount of released drug being controlled by the partition coefficient. Both release methods were suitable to monitor the rapid appearance of the releasable drug in the release medium.

Synthesis of a molecularly imprinted polymer for the selective solid-phase extraction of chloramphenicol from honey.

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as sorbent has been investigated for the clean-up of the broad-spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotic chloramphenicol (CAP) in honey samples. The MIP was prepared by using methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as cross-linker, chloroform as porogen and CAP as template molecule. The binding behaviour of the template CAP on the MIP was evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography, and then the MIP was applied as a sorbent in SPE to selectively extract CAP from honey. It was shown that recoveries of nearly 100% of a CAP standard solution and up to 94% from spiked honey samples could be obtained after SPE.
