Abstract: In the present study, the concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in tissues and shells of the aquatic and terrestrial gastropods (Melanopsis nodosa and Monacha cantiana) were evaluated.Samples were collected from six sites within Baghdad city which was divided into two sectors, a northern sector and a southern sector whereas each was represented by sampling sites of aquatic and terrestrial habitats to best represent the area affected by hydrocarbon residues.Samples of sediments, soils and snails (collected once every two months for the period from November 2014 to May 2015) were analyzed by using Gas Chromatography (GC). The levels of TPHs ranged between (0.14 - 2.58) μg/g in sediments and soils, between (0.21 - 3.48) μg/g in snail tissues and between (0.10 - 2.65) μg/g in snail shells.The concentrations of TPHs in the biomass of aquatic and terrestrial snails showed significant seasonal variations and strongly dependent on the amount of TPHs in the surrounding media. The concentrations of TPHs in snail biomass were below the permissible limit recommended by world health organization (WHO).The physical and chemical properties of the river water and soil recorded several values ranged between 12.4 - 24.4ºC, 10.0 - 23.7ºC, 705.0 - 1016.0 μs/cm, 344.0 - 1050.0 μs/cm, 7.2 - 8.2, 8.3 - 8.8, 81.3 - 164.0 mg/L, 125.0 - 188.0mg/L, 7.1 - 10.2 mg/L, 2.2 - 5.3 mg/L, 16.53 - 25.42% and 1.46 - 2.84% for water temperature, soil temperature, electrical conductivity of water, electrical conductivity of soil, hydrogen ion concentration in water, hydrogen ion concentration in soil, calcium ion concentration in water, calcium ion concentration in soil, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, soil moisture and soil organic matter respectively in study area.The study showed a significant positive correlation between TPHs concentration in snail biomass and hydrogen ion concentration in water, electrical conductivity of soil, soil moisture and soil organic matter. Besides, a significant negative correlation was detected between TPHs concentration in snail biomass and water and soil temperature and calcium ion concentration in water and soil.

The isolates were screened for growth and lipid production, the isolates C.dispersus, A.augstumalis and C.vulgaris exhibited higher growth rate and lipid production. Therefore, these isolates were selected for the purpose of algae biodiesel production. The selected isolates were stimulated by studying the effect of different levels of pH and salinity on growth and lipid production. The results showed higher lipid production by C.dispersus which reached (2.68g/l) at pH value of 9, in comparison to lower lipid concentration of (1.78g/l) at pH5. While higher growth rate (K) and shorter doubling time (G) were observed at pH5. The lipid production by C.vulgaris reached maximum of (3.45g/l) at lower pH 6, while, minimum lipid production was observed at pH8. Also, higher growth rate and shorter doubling time were recorded at pH5. In comparison, lipid production was stimulated by A.augstumalis and reached (2.75g/l) which was obtained at pH value of 11. However, higher growth rate and shorter doubling time were observed at pH5. Results also had showed that lipid production by C.dispersus was stimulated by decreasing salinity concentration and reached maximum of (2.94g/l) at 0.4 g/l of NaCl. In comparison higher growth rate and shorter doubling time of algae were observed at higher salinity concentration of 1.5g/l. The results also showed that the isolate C.vulgaris was able to tolerate salt concentration up to 1.5 g/l, maximum lipid production was obtained (1.72 g/l) at salt concentration of 1g/l. While, higher growth rate and shorter doubling time were observed at (0.8 and 0.4 g/l) of salinity, respectively. The results also exhibited that lipid production was stimulated by A.augstumalis at lower salinity level and reached maximum of (2.5 g/l) at 0.4 g/l of salinity, in comparison to higher growth rate and shorter doubling time recorded at lower salinity concentration of 0.2g/l. The combined effect of pH and salinity together on lipid, carbohydrate and protein production were studied, the experiments were carried out in 7.5 liter glass pools. Maximum lipid, carbohydrate and protein concentration of C.dispersus were observed at (pH9 and salt 0.4g/l) and reached (8.43, 0.525 and 0.018g/l), respectively. While, minimum concentration of lipid, carbohydrate and protein production was observed at (pH7 and salt 0.075g/l).In case of C.vulgaris, higher total lipid production and protein was obtained at (pH6and salt0.075g/l).While, lipid production in microalgae A.augstumalis was favored by alkaline condition and maximum lipid production was observed at (pH11 and salt 0.075g/l) and reached 4.42 g/l. The results also reevaluated that the higher oil content was observed in A.augstumalis reached 16% (0.16 g of oil/ g of dry algal biomass) at (pH11 salt 0.075g/l), in comparison to lower oil content (%) observed with C.dispersus and C.vulgaris which reached (13.8 and 11.21%) when stimulated with (pH9 salt 0.4g/l) and (pH6 salt 0.075g/l), respectively. Analysis of lipid content by GC instrument, had shown that the lipid content of algae C.dispersus at (pH7 salt 0.075g/l), contained only stearic acid (1.09g/l) while, no lipid was detected when algae were stimulated at (pH9 salt 0.4g/l). In case of C.vulgaris only stearic acid (9.78g/l) was found at treatment (pH7 salt 0.075g/l) while, oleic acid (1.15 g/l), stearic acid (1.26 g/l) and palmitic acid (0.126 g/l) were observed. At treatment (pH6, salt 0.075g/l).In comparison, lipid content produced by A.augstumalis included, oleic acid (1.12 g/l), stearic acid (0.17 g/l) and palmitic acid (0.08 g/l) found in treatment (pH7 salt 0.075 g/l). While, lipid content was only Stearic acid (3.96g/l) when the algae were stimulated at (pH11 salt 0.075 g/l.

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

Abstract: The present study was carried out in AL - Hilla River near Al mahaweel district in the middle of Iraq during autumn 2016 to summer 2017. The study included a collection of high density from microzooplankton by use special device then identified and used it as live food for early feeding common carp larva (Cyprinus carpio). The environmental factors of Hilla river tested for four seasons and ranged between 6 - 44 ˚C of air temperature, 9.5 - 30 ˚C of water temperature, 7.03 - 8.58 of pH, 921 - 1090 µm/cm of conductivity, 654.33 - 772.00 mg/l of total dissolved solids and 550.00 - 636.33 of salinity, 5.43 - 13.03 mg/l of total suspended solids, 7.5 - 10.31 mg/L of dissolved oxygen, 1.96 - 6.30 mg/l of BOD5, 1.61 - 2.49 m/s of water velocity, 5.17 - 16.80 µg/L of chloropyll - a - . The taxonomic and ecological study is done to the microzooplankton specially rotifer. There are few studies of rotifer in Hilla river, The result showed that the density of rotifera was ranged between 23ind. /L in the summer season to 65.66 ind. /L in winter season, included 65 rotifer taxa (62 species +2genera +1 class) were recorded in this study, 10 taxa (9 species + 1 genus) were recorded for the first time in Iraq and 14 taxa (13 species + 1 genus) were recorded for first time in Hilla River compared with available local studies. Keratella tropica showed the highest density of the rotifera, Lecane genus showed the highest species number (10 species). Canonical correspondence analysis showed Physico - chemical parameters of water affected on the density of rotifer both positively and negatively. There was positive significant correlation between density rotifer with electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, and salinity, while pH showed the lowest effect on the density of rotifer than other environmental factors. Different species of rotifer showed some variations of the correlation with environmental factor, such as the density of Bdelloidea class correlated positive significant correlation with water temperature, while Keratella cochlearis species negative significant correlation with water temperature. Special system (multi - filtration system) designed and made by researchers in our study for collection high density of microzooplankton with size sample range between 50 - less 200 µm, with short time, less effort and low cost. The multi - filtration system that consists of three stages : pumping stage, multi - filtration stage and sample collection stage. The density of the samples was measured seasonally by comparing the density of the microzooplankton in Hilla river and the density of the microzooplankton sample obtained by the multi - filtration system. The highest density of multi - filtration system rotifer was 1023033 ind./L and the highest density of multi - filtration system total microzooplankton was 1052000 ind/L and measured chlorophyll - a - of sample multi - filtration system that ranged between 23.54 - 1931.09 µg/L. The density of rotifer and total microzooplankton that collect by the multi - filtration system were concentration up to 20222.22, 17558.81 times than what is in the river. After collection of the high density of microzooplankton by using the multi - filtration system, this microzooplankton was used as live food for early feeding fish larvae. A special experiment was designed to feed common carp of fish larvae (Cyprinus carpio) using three types of food : first live diet collected by the multi - filtration system that microplankton most rotifer, second soybean meal and third mixed food (rotifer and soybean meal). Some growth indicators for fish larvae were studied; the results showed that the highest growth rate and best survival rate were larvae fed on live food, highest increased weight and increased length, relative growth rate, specific growth rate and lowest survival rate (33.53 mg, 3.33mm, 87.78, 30.11, and32.38 % respectively) for larvae fish feeding on rotifera, while lowest increased weight and increased length, relative growth rate, specific growth rate and lowest survival rate (27.00mg, 1.43mm, 85.23, 27.39, and 61.90 % respectively) for fish larvae feeding on soybean meal.

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
