Background: In plants, wounding can result from mechanical injuries or from biotic factors induced by herbivores infestation and pathogen infection. Wounding enhances the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Enzymatic and nonenzymatic defense systems have been reported in plants to immediately combat increased levels of ROS. Plant catalases are encoded by a multigene family and are the major scavenging enzymes catalyzing the dismutation of toxic hydrogen peroxide to water and dioxygen. Methods: In the preasent work, a quantitative real-time PCR was used to quantify the expression level of a catalase gene from common vetch (Vicia sativa; VsCat) in response to mechanical wounding. Result: The results of the time course study showed that the transcript levels of VsCat were significantly increased in wounded leaves at all-time points examined with a peak expression of 7.6 folds at 2 h post wounding. The increased expression of VsCat might represent a direct defense against elevated H2O2 generated during wounding.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) comprise the superoxide anion (O2·−), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radical (·OH), and singlet oxygen (1O2). ROS can damage a variety of macromolecules, including DNA, RNA, proteins, and lipids, and compromise cell viability. To prevent or reduce ROS-induced oxidative stress, bacteria utilize different ROS defense mechanisms, of which ROS scavenging enzymes, such as superoxide dismutases, catalases, and peroxidases, are the best characterized. Recently, evidence has been accumulating that some of the terminal oxidases in bacterial respiratory chains may also play a protective role against ROS. The present review covers this role of terminal oxidases in light of recent findings.

Time Course Study

Pseudomonas facilis and Pseudomonasspp., isolated on the basis of its ability to grow on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, was assayed for biosurfactant production (BP) potentials by measuring the surface tension (ST) of the culture supernatant at different time intervals. The strains in three levels of initial inoculum size (OD600 nm = 0.5, 1, 1.5) were added to medium to determine if bacterial inoculum size affects solubilization of phenanthrene (PHE).The result showed that although the two strains reduced the mean ST to less than 34.12 mN m−1 at the end of day 6, mean solubilization activity of PHE reached 77.05 mg L−1 on the sixth day. There was a significant increase in BP over time (P = 0.008); reaching its peak, 157.84 mg L−1, at the end of the sixth day. Mean solubilization activity of PHE was not significantly different for the two strains (P = 0.216). The time-course study revealed that the ST reduction and BP potential was enhanced as inoculation size increased, leading to higher PHE solubility during the incubation time. However, the trend of increase in PHE solubility was not totally in the same way to cell growth and BP. It may be suggested that more bacterial density needs to be inoculated for practical application of effective bioremediation.
