This study investigated the influence of energy source on time-dependent hormesis, confirming that SDX induced hormetic effects in all cultivation systems. The action of SDX was speculated to be derived from its interaction with DHPS and AC, inhibiting protein synthesis and upregulating the QS system. Energy source impacted the hourly maximum stimulatory rate, the EC50 of SDX, and the time point that hormesis occurred, potentially due to regulating the metabolic and QS systems of bacteria.
Hormesis is a biphasic dose-response relationship featured by low-dose stimulation and high-dose inhibition. Although the hormetic phenomenon has been extensively studied over the past decades, there is little information regarding the influence of energy source on the occurrence of hormesis, especially the time-dependent one. In this study, to explore the role of cultivation system's energy source in time-dependent hormesis, the toxic dose-responses of Aliivibrio fischeri (A. fischeri) bioluminescence to Sulfadoxine (SDX) during 24 h were determined in four cultivation systems with different energy source conditions. The results indicated that the time-dependent hormetic effects were induced by SDX in all cultivation systems: SDX triggered hormetic phenomenon on the bioluminescence at each growth stage over 24 h in the cultivation systems with sufficient and insufficient energy source; due to the diauxic growth of A. fischeri under multiple energy source conditions, the hormetic effects of SDX gradually disappeared after the preferred energy source was used up. It was speculated that the inhibitory action of SDX was derived from its interaction with DHPS to impede the synthesis of proteins, and SDX bound with AC to upregulate the quorum sensing (QS) system to exhibit the stimulatory action. Comparing the time-dependent hormesis in each cultivation system, it was obtained that the energy source could impact the hourly maximum stimulatory rate, the EC50 of SDX, and the time point that hormesis occurred, which might result from the influence of energy source on the stimulatory and inhibitory actions of SDX through regulating the metabolic system (individual level) and QS system (group level) of bacteria. This study clarifies the importance of energy source for hormesis occurrence, which may further promote the development of hormesis. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
