Este trabalho objetivou avaliar o impacto de herbicidas à base de glyphosate, imazaquin e trifluralin na biomassa microbiana do solo, na comunidade bacteriana associada ao rizoplano de soja e também na nodulação das plantas de soja. As avaliações foram realizadas por um período de 60 dias, em dois sistemas de manejo do solo: semeadura direta na palha (SD) e semeadura convencional (SC), que receberam a aplicação dos herbicidas glyphosate e, imazaquin e trifluralin, respectivamente. Ao longo do período estudado o imazaquin, na área de SD, ocasionou redução da biomassa microbiana e, também alterou o perfil bacteriano analisado por eletroforese em gel com gradiente desnaturante (DGGE) de forma mais intensa, que o glyphosate. Na área de SC não houve efeito significativo dos herbicidas sobre a biomassa microbiana, tendo ocorrido grande variabilidade entre repetições de um mesmo tratamento nos perfis de DGGE, o que dificultou a observação do efeito dos herbicidas. O seqüenciamento de fragmentos do 16S rDNA retirados dos géis de DGGE mostrou que o glyphosate restringiu o desenvolvimento de uma bactéria com 90% de homologia com Herbaspirillum sp., enquanto, o imazaquin estimulou uma bactéria com 96% de homologia com Ralstonia sp. e, outras bactérias com pelo menos 92% de homologia com Burkholderia, Thiomonas e Pseudomonas não foram afetadas. Também não houve efeito dos herbicidas sobre o número de nódulos nas plantas de soja.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play a key role in the biopreservation of a wide range of fermented food products, such as yogurt, cheese, fermented milks, meat, fish, vegetables (sauerkraut, olives and pickles), certain beer brands, wines and silage, allowing their safe consumption, which gave to these bacteria a GRAS (Generally Recognised as Safe) status. Besides that, the use of LAB in food and feed is a promising strategy to reduce the exposure to dietary mycotoxins, improving their shelf life and reducing health risks, given the unique mycotoxin decontaminating characteristic of some LAB. Mycotoxins present carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, neurotoxic and immunosuppressive effects over animals and Humans, being the most important ochratoxin A (OTA), aflatoxins (AFB1), trichothecenes, zearalenone (ZEA), fumonisin (FUM) and patulin. In a previous work of our group it was observed OTA biodegradation by some strains of Pediococcus parvulus isolated from Douro wines. So, the aim of this study was to enlarge the screening of the biodetoxification over more mycotoxins besides OTA, including AFB1, and ZEA. This ability was checked in a collection of LAB isolated from vegetable (wine, olives, fruits and silage) and animal (milk and dairy products, sausages) sources. All LAB strains were characterized phenotypically (Gram, catalase) and genotypically. Molecular characterisation of all LAB strains was performed using genomic fingerprinting by MSP- PCR with (GTG)5 and csM13 primers. The identification of the isolates was confirmed by 16S rDNA sequencing. To study the ability of LAB strains to degrade OTA, AFB1 and ZEA, a MRS broth medium was supplemented with 2.0 g/mL of each mycotoxin. For each strain, 2 mL of MRS supplemented with the mycotoxins was inoculated in triplicate with 109 CFU/mL. The culture media and bacterial cells were extracted by the addition of an equal volume of acetonitrile/methanol/acetic acid (78:20:2 v/v/v) to the culture tubes. A 2 mL sample was then collected and filtered into a clean 2 mL vial using PP filters with 0.45 m pores. The samples were preserved at 4 °C until HPLC analysis. Among LAB tested, 10 strains isolated from milk were able to eliminate AFB1, belonging to Lactobacillus casei (7), Lb. paracasei (1), Lb. plantarum (1) and 1 to Leuconostoc mesenteroides. Two strains of Enterococcus faecium and one of Ec. faecalis from sausage eliminated ZEA. Concerning to strains of vegetal origin, one Lb. plantarum isolated from elderberry fruit, one Lb. buchnerii and one Lb. parafarraginis both isolated from silage eliminated ZEA. Other 2 strains of Lb. plantarum from silage were able to degrade both ZEA and OTA, and 1 Lb. buchnerii showed activity over AFB1. These enzymatic activities were also verified genotypically through specific gene PCR and posteriorly confirmed by sequencing analysis. In conclusion, due the ability of some strains of LAB isolated from different sources to eliminate OTA, AFB1 and ZEA one can recognize their potential biotechnological application to reduce the health hazards associated with these mycotoxins. They may be suitable as silage inoculants or as feed additives or even in food industry.
