The uptake and metabolism of arsenate, As(V), as a function of time and concentration were examined in the lichen Hypogymnia physodes (L.) Nyl. Lichen thalli were exposed to As(V) in the form of a solution. Exponential uptake of As(V) from 4 microg mL(-1) As(V) solution was accompanied by constant arsenite, As(III), excretion back into the solution. Arsenate taken up into the lichens from 0, 0.1, 1, 10 microg mL(-1) As(V) solutions was partially transformed into As(III), dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) and (mono)methylarsonic acid (MA). 48 h after exposure, the main arsenic compound in the lichens was DMA in 0.1, As(III) in 1 and As(V) in 10 microg mL(-1) treatment. The proportion of methylated arsenic compounds decreased with increasing arsenate concentration in the exposure solution. These results suggest that at least two types of As(V) detoxification exist in lichens; arsenite excretion and methylation.
研究了地衣淡黄网衣(Hypogymnia physodes (L.) Nyl.)中砷酸盐(As(V))的吸收和代谢随时间和浓度的变化情况。地衣叶状体暴露于溶液形式的As(V)中。从4 μg mL⁻¹ As(V)溶液中指数吸收As(V)的同时,有恒定的亚砷酸盐(As(III))排泄回溶液中。从0、0.1、1、10 μg mL⁻¹ As(V)溶液中吸收到地衣中的砷酸盐部分转化为As(III)、二甲基砷酸(DMA)和(单)甲基砷酸(MA)。暴露48小时后,地衣中主要的砷化合物在0.1 μg mL⁻¹处理中是DMA,在1 μg mL⁻¹处理中是As(III),在10 μg mL⁻¹处理中是As(V)。甲基化砷化合物的比例随着暴露溶液中砷酸盐浓度的增加而降低。这些结果表明地衣中至少存在两种As(V)解毒类型;亚砷酸盐排泄和甲基化。
