Environmental context. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are common contaminants, but there has been limited research investigating the responses of earthworm exposure to sub-lethal PAH concentrations. In this study, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomics was used to characterise the metabolic responses of Eisenia fetida earthworm exposure in contact tests to 10, 50 and 100 μg cm–2 naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene. The findings of this study highlight the potential of metabolomics as a tool for monitoring earthworm responses to sub-lethal concentrations of problematic environmental contaminants. Abstract. Metabolic responses of earthworm exposure to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene in contact tests were measured using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Novel metabolites were not detected but principal component analysis (PCA) showed that earthworms exposed to 10, 50 and 100 μg cm–2 naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene differed from unexposed (control) earthworms. Partial least-squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) showed that earthworms had statistically significant responses to PAH exposure, except for 10 μg cm–2 naphthalene and 50 μg cm–2 pyrene. Leucine, valine, alanine, lysine and maltose were identified as potential response indicators of PAH exposure, but whether the concentration of these metabolites increased or decreased was PAH- and concentration-dependent. These initial findings reveal the potential of metabolomics for monitoring earthworm responses to sub-lethal PAH exposure and highlight the role of metabolomics as a future tool in ecotoxicology.

The preferential protonation sites of the homo dimers deoxycytidylyl-(3′,5′)-deoxycytidine, thymidylyl-(3′,5′)-thymidine, and deoxyadenylyl-(3′,5′)-deoxyadenosine were established by nitrogen-15 and carbon-13 NMR in dimethyl sulfoxide, in the presence of varying amounts of CF3COOH. The nitrogen-15 NMR data show that in d(CpC) the capability of the two N3 nitrogens to accept the proton is slightly different. In d(TpT) and d(ApA) the protonation of the phosphate group leads to significant variations of the chemical shift of the carbons adjacent to phosphorus. Keywords: deoxydinucleotides, protonation, 15N and 13C NMR.

The 13C n.m.r. spectrum of acetoxime has been obtained in five representative solvents and the chemical shifts of the three carbon atoms measured. The solvent effects on the chemical shifts are found to reflect specific solute–solvent interactions. The effect of deuteration of the α-protons on the chemical shift of the oximino carbon is also discussed.

ABSTRACT [1-13C]acenaphthene, a tracer compound with a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-active nucleus at the C-1 position, has been employed in conjunction with a standard broad-band-decoupled13C-NMR spectroscopy technique to study the biodegradation of acenaphthene by various bacterial cultures degrading aromatic hydrocarbons of creosote. Site-specific labeling at the benzylic position of acenaphthene allows 13C-NMR detection of chemical changes due to initial oxidations catalyzed by bacterial enzymes of aromatic hydrocarbon catabolism. Biodegradation of [1-13C]acenaphthene in the presence of naphthalene or creosote polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) was examined with an undefined mixed bacterial culture (established by enrichment on creosote PACs) and with isolates of individual naphthalene- and phenanthrene-degrading strains from this culture. From13C-NMR spectra of extractable materials obtained in time course biodegradation experiments under optimized conditions, a number of signals were assigned to accumulated products such as 1-acenaphthenol, 1-acenaphthenone, acenaphthene-1,2-diol and naphthalene 1,8-dicarboxylic acid, formed by benzylic oxidation of acenaphthene and subsequent reactions. Limited degradation of acenaphthene could be attributed to its oxidation by naphthalene 1,2-dioxygenase or related dioxygenases, indicative of certain limitations of the undefined mixed culture with respect to acenaphthene catabolism. Coinoculation of the mixed culture with cells of acenaphthene-grown strain Pseudomonas sp. strain A2279 mitigated the accumulation of partial transformation products and resulted in more complete degradation of acenaphthene. This study demonstrates the value of the stable isotope labeling approach and its ability to reveal incomplete mineralization even when as little as 2 to 3% of the substrate is incompletely oxidized, yielding products of partial transformation. The approach outlined may prove useful in assessing bioremediation performance.
