For this purpose 10 sites were selected within two sectors of the River basin. A northern sector, represented the area north of Himreen’s dam and lake, including : Darbandikhan lake site (Dar); Kalar town site (Kal); Alwand tributary site in Khanaqin (Wan); Jalula city site (Jal). The Southern sector represented the area below Himreen’s dam and lake : Himreen lake site (Him); Al Sudor regulatory Dam site (Sud); Mahroot stream site at Moqdadia city (Mah); Al Khalis irrigation canal site (Kha); Al saria stream site (Sar); and Baqubah city site (Baq). Physical and chemical properties at the study sites were measured. These included : water temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen Concentration, Electrical Conductivity, Current Velocity, Calcium Concentration, sediment organic matter content and bottom Sediment particle size. Gastropods samples were collected monthly by a cylinder sampler from all sites for the period April 2013 through January 2014, with a small exception regarding Darbandikhan and Kalar sites. Gastropods species identification was aided by consulting preserved material at the British Natural History Museum (NHMUK). Occurrence, population density and relative abundance of each species were calculated. The morphological variation of the gastropod shells collected from different area sectors within the River basin were also determined. Correlation between gastropod species and the environmental factors were also recorded, in addition to investigating similarities between the studied sites in environmental factors and species density. Values of water temperature ranged between (10 - 33) ºC. No significant difference between sites nor between sectors, but only between months was detected. Values of the pH ranged between (6.6 - 8.1), tending to be alkaline at most sites. These values showed significant difference between the two sectors. The dissolved oxygen values ranged between (6.1 - 10.7) mg /l indicating good oxygenation with no significant difference between sites of the two sectors. However, electrical conductivity EC values ranged between(450 - 1530) µs/cm. A significant difference was revealed between the values of the two sectors, highest value of Current velocity was recorded at Kalar (1.3 m/sec.) and the lowest value was recorded at Al Sudor(0.08 m/sec.), but these records showed no significant difference between the two sectors in most months. Calcium concentration in the water showed presence of high concentrations (210 mg/l) at sites Al wand and Baqubah. While the lowest concentration (41 mg / L) was recorded at Al sudor, but no significant difference between sites or between sectors was evident in most months.Sediment content of organic matter ranged (0.6 - 4.1)% showing significant difference between the northern and southern sectors. Bottom sediment particle size and texture varied from sandy - clay - loam at sites Darbandikhan, Al wand and Jalula, to silt - clay at Kalar, sandy - loam at Himreen, clay at Khalis and Alsaria, and loamy at Mahroot and Baqubah. A total of twelve species of gastropods belonging to eight families were identified. Family Neritidae included two species Theodoxus jordani and Neritina mesopotamica; family Valvatidae included Valvata saulcyi; family Viviparidae included Bellamya bengalensis; family Melanopsidae included Melanopsis costata, M.nodosa, M. subtingitana and M .preamorsa; family Thiaridae included Melanoides tuberculata; family Lymnaedae included Lymanaea natalensis; family Physidae included Physa acuta; and family Planorbidae included Planorbis gibbonsi. Results showed that Physa acuta was present at all sites. while Theodoxus jordani was the highest density recorded. The highest density of the total individuals was recorded at Darbandikhan and the lowest was at Jalula site. The results showed that highest density of Gastropods population was recorded in Spring and Autumn months and decline in Winter and Summer months The correlation analysis between species and environmental factors showed that population density of species was not affected by the concentration of calcium while there was evident variation in the response of species to most other environmental factor. The variation in shell morphological features was investigated using Geometric Morphometric technique. Specimens from northern and southern sectors were compared to detect differences in the centroid size, symmetry of shell shape and size for shells of the most common species : Theodoxus jordani, Melanopsis preamorsa, Lymnaea natalensis, Physa acuta and Planorbis gibbonsi. Results showed variation existed in centroid size for Teodoxus jordani ,Melanopsis preamorsa , Lymnaea natalensis and Physa acuta , but the analysis of symmetry in shell size and shape for the recorded species showed significant variance in the shell size of P.acuta only.

Abstract: Aflatoxins are one of the dangerous mycotoxins, especially aflatoxin B1, causing of cancers disease to humans and animals, also lead to a large Perdition. This toxin is produced from Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus.The current study was conducted to investigate the environmental conditions in the local stores and their impact on pollution with aflatoxin B1, Three Models of economic crops which are corn, wheat and rice samples are collected from the Ministry of Trade and Ministry of Agriculture stores(silos) in the provinces of Baghdad and Wast for six consecutive months started from September 2014 until March 2015, in addition to collection of these crop from the local market to study the relationship between the storage and production of the toxin. Sixty type samples of the three grain crops were collected from the stores, twelve samples of corn and twenty four samples each of wheat and rice, total of samples and three replicates were one hundred eighty planted on the (PDA) medium. Sixty five isolates of A. flavus were obtained from all samples of grains; Preliminary tests for the detection of aflatoxin B1 productivity were done on these isolates, using coconut medium test, ammonia vapor test and Yellow pigment test. The results showed that thirty - six of the isolates were capable of producing aflatoxin B1 while twenty - nine were not produced of producing the toxin. Environmental conditions have affected the growth ratio of the A. flavus in each of the three crops, where corn crop recorded the highest rate of fungal contamination ratio in the six months, it was (80.5%), followed by wheat (32%), and finally by rice (18%). Quantitative and qualitative test for estimation of aflatoxin B1 using ELISA technique was done on grain samples that had positive indicators for the growth of A. flavus. The results showed that the concentration of aflatoxin B1 was at its peak in February compared with other months under study, reached to (46.2, 45.2, 40) ppb, respectively, in each of corn, wheat and rice, while the low concentrations of aflatoxin were recorded in September and October, attained to(19.5,2.2,1.8) ppb in each of corn, wheat and rice respectively. These results are attributed to the rise in humidity rates in February and low temperature off set by low humidity and high temperatures rates in September, which provides environmentally appropriate conditions for the fungus growth and production the toxins. The results also show that corn crop was more affected by the pollution compared with other crops, where the concentration of aflatoxin B1 was 46.2ppb in corn, while in rice crops was concentration of toxin reached to1.8 ppb

Three taxa of aquatic plants were selected (Phragmites australis Trin ex stand, Ceratophyllum demersum L. and Typha domengensis Pers) in three sites within Al - Auda Marsh; these sites were Al - Adleh, Al - Auda and Um - Almashahef. Also, the study included measuring physical and chemical factors of all the study sites, such as : temperature (air and water), power of hydrogen (pH), total hardness(TH), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), turbidity (Tur.), light penetration(LP), depth of water (D), total dissolved suspend material (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), total alkalinity (TA), dissolved oxygen (DO), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) and reactive Silicate (SiO3). The mean ranges of the studied factors were recorded : air temperature (10 - 38 C°), water temperature (13 - 34 C°), pH (7.1 - 8.6), TH (672 - 3800mg/l), Ca (97.8 - 264.5 mg/l), Mg (125.1 - 896.13mg/l), Tur.(7.62 - 30.7NTU), LP(46 - 113cm), D (190 - 413cm), TDS (1170 - 3075 mg/l), TSS (0.02 - 0.08 mg/l). while TA (207.5 - 300mg/l), DO (6.4 - 13.5 mg/l), TN (2.41 - 8.58µg/l), TP (0.013 - 0.23 µg/l) and SiO3(101 - 776.77 µg/l).Results of the study indicated presence of 111 taxa of epiphytic diatoms, which belonged to 13 families and 26 genus (one family and two genus of centric diatoms, 12 families and 26 genus of pennate diatoms).The present study recorded 21 species that were found only on one host plant, 20 species that were found on two host plants and 70 species that were found on all host plants, nine of diatoms taxa were present in all host plants among all study seasons which are Achnanthes minutissima, Cocconeis placentula var. euglypta, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Synedra affinis, Syneda ulna , Gomphonem parvulum, Mastogloia smithii var. amphicephala, E. zebra var. porcellus, Rhopalodia gibba.One of the diatoms taxa was recorded in the present study is new to Iraqi flora, the new record of diatom include one taxa of Achnanthidiaceae family (Achnanthes exigua var. constricta). The results of this study included description of the basic characteristics of this taxa with complete photographic documentation.It was evident, from the results, that the morphological form of host plants influenced the number of the attached epiphytic diatoms. C. demersum had attracted 92 diatoms taxa(35%) while the lowest number was 82 taxa (31%) attached by Typha domengensis. The seasonal variation of diatoms growth was evident. Spring 2014 was characterized by the highest number of attached taxa (69 on P. australis - 11%) whereas the lowest number was observed on C. demersum (32 taxa - 5.4%) in autumn 2013.Numbers of epiphytic diatoms fluctuated among study sites, seasons and aquatic plants. The total number of epiphytic diatoms on P. australis ranged between 0.73×104 cell/gm wet weight in summer 2014 at Al - Auda and 406.89104 cell/gm wet weight in spring 2014 at Um - Almashahef. C. demersum recorded highest total number 513.9 ×104 cell/gm wet weight in winter2014 at Al - Adleh, while the lowest total number was 0.1×104 cell/gm of wet weight was recorded in the spring 2014 at Um - Almashahef. While total number of taxa on T. domengensis ranged (0.84 - 427.89) ×104 cell/gm wet weight in summer and winter 2014 at Um - Almashahef.Fluctuations in the total number of main epiphytic diatoms families were observed on all aquatic host plants throughout the study period. The higher total number(92.59×104 cell/gm of wet weight) of diatoms recorded in Achnanthidiaceae family in summer 2014 on P. australis and lower total number (0.28×104 cell/gm of wet weight) on same plant observed in Rhoicospheniaceae family in spring 2014. C. demersum showed highest total number (95.15 ×104 cell/gm of wet weight) in Fragilariaceae family in spring2014, while the lower total number (0.3×104 cell/gm of wet weight) was in family Rhoicospheniaceae in autumn 2013. Individual of Achnanthidiaceae family were recorded as highest total number (168.57×104 cell/gm of wet weight) on T. domengensis in Achnanthidiaceae family in the winter of 2014, but lower total number (0.28×104 cell/gm of wet weight) recorded in Coscinodiscaceae family in the same season.

They were record Biological observations on their environment and learn about their prefer environments and to measure the important ecological factors. Three species were diagnosed : Cornu aspersum specie belong to Helicidae family, Monacha cantiana and Candidula gigaxii species belong to Hygromiidae family. Monthly sampling was conducted from (October 2013 - July 2014) of the three provincs on two sites per each provinc, Where the samples were collected randomly by five repeaters of one square meter once a month. The study also included soil ecological properties measuring : soil temperature, soil pH, Electrical conductivity, percentage moisture, organic matter content and soil texture.The results showed soil temperature values ranged between (8 - 30) C?, soil pH (7.33 - 7.96), Electrical conductivity (0.7 - 4.1) ds/m, percentage moisture (9 - 33) % , organic matter content (0.81 - 2.88) %. The results showed percentages rate for clay, silt and sand for Jadiriyah (38.39, 49.18, 12.43)%, Zafaraniya (36.66, 51.53, 11.81)%, Alexandria (37.93, 52.54, 9.53)%, Hindyia dam (40.54, 53.05, 6.41)%, Hosseinie (36.28, 45.81, 17.91)% and Twerij (37.79, 50.20, 12.01)%. Generally soil texture clay silt sandy soil for all study sites. The relative abundance of the studied species was recorded, The lowest value for Candidula gigaxii specie was 7.3 % in March in Hindyia dam, while the highest value was recorded for Cornu aspersum specie 75.0 % in December 2013 in Jadiriyah. Rates of population density (individuals / m 2) were calculated for the studied specimens and the results showed the presence of significant differences when comparing the study sites during research period. The population density rates for species the results showed the lowest value for Candidula gigaxii specie 0.4 (individual/m²) in October 2013 in Jadiriyah, and the highest value for Cornu aspersum specie 19.4 (individual/m²) in Janeuary 2014 in Jadiriyah. The results showed that Candidula gigaxii specie is found in sites (Jadiriyah, Zafaraniya, Hindyia dam(along research period, While the results did not record the presence of it in sites (Alexandria, Hosseinie, Twerij).The study showed presence of positive and negative significant relationships between species and soil ecological properties, as it were for Cornu aspersum specie negative significant relationship with air and soil temperature (0.827, 0.763) respectively, positive significant relationship with moisture and organic matter content (0.703, 0.880) respectively, while the results did not record significant differences with pH and Electrical conductivity (0.096, 0.168) respectively. Monacha cantiana specie has recorded negative significant relationship with air and soil temperature (0.431, 0.553) respectively, positive significant relationship with percentage moisture and organic matter content (0.368, 0.550) respectively, while did not record significant differences for pH and Electrical conductivity (0.214, 0.096) respectively. The results showed for Candidula gigaxii specie negative significant relationship of air and soil temperature (0.504, 0.322) respectively, positive significant relationship with moisture and organic matter content (0.380, 0.569) respectively, While did not record significant differences with pH and Electrical conductivity (0.088, 0.170) respectively.

Abstract: عزلت 45 عزلة بكتيرية محليه من مجموع 30 نموذج تربه ملوثة بالمبيدات والتي جمعت خلال فترات زمنيه مختلفة ومن مناطق مختلفه في بغداد. اختبرت قابلية العزلات البكتيريه على تفكيك مبيدي الملاثيون والدورسبان. اجريت غربلة اولية وثانوية باستخدام وسط الاملاح المعدنية ا | Forty five local bacterial isolates were isolated from thirty different soil sample contaminated with pesticide, These samples were collected from different Baghdad regions at different periods. The bacterial isolates were tested for their ability to biodegrade certain pesticides (Malathion and Dursban). Primary and secondary screenings were carried out using solid Mineral Salts Medium (MSM) and Liquid (MSM) with 100 ppm Malathion and Dursban at 37 0C, pH 7. Twenty seven isolates resistant to Malathion and Dursban were isolated. Out of 27 bacterial isolates from different locations in Baghdad. Results from primary screening showed that the 10 isolates had good growth, 5 isolates gave moderate growth, 12 showed weak growth and only 9 isolates failed to show any growth.According to current results, 10 bacterial isolates were tested for their ability to biodegradation of Malathion and Dursban in liquid medium, However, secondary screenings results by using minimal inhibition concentration(MIC) revealed that only four bacterial isolates had the highest ability to degrade Malathion and Dursban and subsequently were identified as Pseudomonas putida, Esherichia coli, Escherichia hermanii and Staphylococcus vitulinus by Vitek compact system respectively.The optimum conditions (incubation period, pH, temperature) for growth and biodegradation of Malathion and Dursban were examined. The obtained results indicated that the best incubation period was after 7 days, pH =6 and favorite temperature was 350C.Measurement physicochemical properties for soil pH, temperature (C°), electrical conductivity EC (µs/cm) for both Dursban and Malathion concentrations(ppm) collected from six different locations within Baghdad city. Biodegradation of Malathion and Dursban in soil inoculated with different bacterial mono - cultures and mixed - cultures were investigated. soil pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, cations and anions, on the population of native Malathion - Dursban tolerant bacteria in the cultivated soils of six sites. The result showed that soil physical properties like temperature and electrical conductivity affect significantly to native Malathion - Dursban tolerant bacterial density. Similarly, the soil chemical properties like pH, cations and anions had more effect on the abundance of Malathion - Dursban tolerant bacteria in the soil. However, the impact of soil organic carbon, organic nitrogen and available phosphorus was very significant. The results of the present study can be utilized for the development of effective bioremediation process for pesticide - contaminated soil. Under optimal conditions, Malathion and Dursban degradation was measured by using GC - MS analysis. The results revealed that Pseudomonas putida was the best isolate for degrading Dursban by monoculture isolate (47.18%) , while mixed culture(P.putida and S.vitulinus) was the best in degrading Malathion and Dursban that gave 90.84% and 81.055% respectively. Results also indicated that the number of byproducts produced by mono and mixed culture of Malathion and Dursban biodegradation. Whereas the results obtained from GC/Ms analysis revealed that not detected of toxic byproduct Malathion and Dursban degradation by Pseudomonas putida and Staphylococcus vitulins respectively.Moreover, under natural conditions.The study tested the ability of selected bacterial isolates (P. putida and S. vitulins) in biodegradation of Malathion and Dursban, the results showed slower biodegradation by selected bacterial isolates compared with laboratory conditions but study showed a intermediet product like phenol, diethyl phosphorothioate and oxon.The GC - MS results showed that the number of metabolic intermediates formed during the degradation of Malathion by bacterial mixed - culture were relatively higher in number than by bacterial mono - culture.The mass spectra of malathion containing samples treated with bacterial mono and mixed culture showed no any known toxic intermediates. The result indicated that the two main degradation products resulted from bacterial degradation, namely malathion monocarboxylic (MMA) and malathion dicarboxylic acid (MDA), the first one may convert into the latter over time. Some other degradation products may occur such as ethyl hydrogen fumarate (EHF) but in negligible amount.The result indicated that the main degradation products resulted from bacterial degradation of dursban is trichloropyridinol(TCP) and then de - chlorinated into 2 - pyridinol.The mass spectra results obtained in this study showed that the dursban was degraded to many metabolites.The results suggested that the bacterial isolates were not forming any toxic intermediates but no any intermediate was identified till R.T. 22 minutes. This indicated that dursban is probably completely metabolized by the isolates into smaller intermediatesThe isolate Pseudomonas putida isolated from soil contaminated with pesticides was identified genotypic tests. Molecular typing was performed by RAPD - PCR and comparison of the results to other Pseudomonas isolates. The result shows that genotyping differences between isolates and found the convergent percent biodegradation between this isolates of both selected pesticide, although from these differences, there was no more effect to biodegradation, which means that the biodegradation of Malathion and Dursban not related to genotype
