Occurrence and elimination of cyanobacterial toxins in two Australian drinking water treatment plants

In Australian freshwaters, Anabaena circinalis, Microcystis spp. and Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii are the dominant toxic cyanobacteria. Many of these Surface waters are used as drinking water resources. Therefore, the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia set a guideline for MC-LR toxicity equivalents of 1.3 mug/l drinking, water. However, due to lack of adequate data, no guideline values for paralytic shellfish poisons (PSPs) (e.g. saxitoxins) or cylindrospermopsin (CYN) have been set. In this spot check. the concentration of microcystins (MCs), PSPs and CYN were determined by ADDA-ELISA, cPPA, HPLC-DAD and/or HPLC-MS/MS, respectively, in two water treatment plants in Queensland/Australia and compared to phytoplankton data collected by Queensland Health, Brisbane. Depending on the predominant cyanobacterial species in a bloom, concentrations of up to 8.0, 17.0 and 1.3 mug/l were found for MCs, PSPs and CYN, respectively. However, only traces (< 1.0 mug/l) of these toxins were detected in final water (final product of the drinking water treatment plant) and tap water (household sample). Despite the low concentrations of toxins detected in drinking water, a further reduction of cyanobacterial toxins is recommended to guarantee public safety. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

Identification of three gene candidates for multicellular resistance in colon carcinoma

Solid tumours display elevated resistance to chemo- and radiotherapies compared to individual tumour derived cells. This so-called multicellular resistance (MCR) phenomenon can only be partly explained by reduced diffusion and altered cell cycle status; even fast growing cells on the surface of solid tumours display MCR. Multicellular spheroids (MCS) recapture this phenomenon ex vivo and here we compare gene expression in exponentially growing MCS with gene expression in monolayer culture. Using an 18,664 gene microarray, we identified 42 differentially expressed genes and three of these genes can be linked to potential mechanisms of MCR. A group of interferon response genes were also up-regulated in MCS, as were a number of genes that that are indicative of greater differentiation in three-dimensional cultures.
