Popis: Comparison of the effects of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs
CuO, NiO, ZnO, TiO2, and Al2O3) on different bioluminescence processes was evaluated using two recombinant (Pm-lux and Pu-lux) strains of Pseudomonas putida mt-2 with same inducer exposure. Different sensitivities and responses were observed according to the type of NPs and recombinant strains. EC50 values were determined. The negative effects on the bioluminescence activity of the Pm-lux strain was greater than for the Pu-lux strains for all NPs tested. EC50 values for the Pm-lux strain were 1.7- to 6.2-fold lower (corresponding to high inhibition) than for Pu-lux. ZnO NP caused the greatest inhibition among the tested NPs in both strains, showing approximately 11 times less EC50s of CuO, which appeared as the least inhibited. Although NPs showed different sensitivities depending on the bioluminescence process, similar orders of EC50s for both strains were observed as follows: ZnO >
NiO, Al2O3 >
TiO2 >
CuO. More detailed in-depth systematic approaches, including in the field of molecular mechanisms, is needed to evaluate the accurate effect mechanisms involved in both bioluminescence metabolic processes.
