Abstract

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) pollution has drawn widespread concerns in aquatic environments due to its risks to ecologic system, however, the response mechanisms of ciliates to CPF pollution were poorly studied. In our current work, the degradation of CPF by ciliates and the morphological changes of ciliates after CPF exposure were investigated. In addition, the transcriptomic profiles of the ciliate Uronema marinum, with and without exposure with CPF, were detected using digital gene expression technologies. De novo transcriptome assembly 166,829,634 reads produced from three groups (untreated, CPF treatment at 12 h and 24 h) by whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq). Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways were analyzed in all unigenes and different expression genes to identify their biological functions and processes. Furthermore, the results indicated that genes related to the stress response, cytoskeleton and cell structure proteins, and antioxidant systems might play an important role in the resistance mechanism of ciliates. The enzyme activities of SOD and GST after CPF stress were also analyzed, and the result showed the good antioxidant capacity of SOD and GST in ciliates inferred from the increase of the activities of the two enzymes. The ciliate Uronema marinum showed a resistance response to chlorpyrifos stress at the transcriptomic level in the present work, which indicates that ciliates can be considered as a potential bioremediation agent.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 September 2018.
All research outputs
#21,420,714
of 23,911,072 outputs
Outputs from Environmental Science and Pollution Research
#7,000
of 9,883 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#301,368
of 345,047 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Environmental Science and Pollution Research
#161
of 229 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,911,072 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,883 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 345,047 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 229 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
