AB  - There is a growing body of evidence that various pesticides and heavy metals are carcinogenic. If not directly, there is also evidence that shows that these compounds can participate in carcinogenesis in a passive or permissive role, facilitating other compounds from inducing tumor formation. Little evidence is available to aid in understanding the toxicity of metal-pesticide mixtures. In many instances, exposure to subclinical, or subtoxic, levels would be asymptomatic under a single-chemical exposure. But, we do not know how these compounds would act together. A synergistic or potentiating response could be highly possible. By chemically interacting with the environment, as well as each other, metal pesticide mixtures may yield unpredictable toxicity. Because we are not exposed to a single xenobiotic at a time, the importance of studying the toxicity of mixtures has never been more critical.

AB  - The surface of microorganisms is covered with polysaccharide structures which are in immediate contact with receptor structures on host’s cells and antibodies. The interaction between microorganisms and their host is dependent on surface glycosylation and in this study we have tested the interaction of plant lectins with different microorganisms. Enzyme-linked lectin sorbent assay - ELLSA was used to test the binding of recombinant Musa acuminata lectin - BL to 27 selected microorganisms and 7 other lectins were used for comparison: Soy bean agglutinin - SBA, Lens culinaris lectin - LCA, Wheat germ agglutinin - WGA, RCA120 - Ricinus communis agglutinin, Con A - from Canavalia ensiformis, Sambucus nigra agglutinin - SNA I and Maackia amurensis agglutinin - MAA. The goal was to define the microorganisms’ surface glycosylation by means of interaction with the selected plant lectins and to make a comparison with BL. Among the tested lectins most selective binding was observed for RCA120 which preferentially bound Lactobacillus casei DG. Recombinant banana lectin showed specific binding to all of the tested fungal species. The binding of BL to Candida albicans was further tested with fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry and it was concluded that this lectin can differentiate ß-glucan rich surfaces. The binding of BL to S. boulardii could be inhibited with ß-glucan from yeast with IC50 1.81 μg mL−1 and to P. roqueforti with 1.10 μg mL−1. This unique specificity of BL could be exploited for screening purposes and potentially for the detection of ß-glucan in solutions.
