본 연구에서는 합성 항균제로 이용되는 Triclosan이 $Cu^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Cr^{6+}$, $Cd^{2+}$, $Hg^{2+}$, $Pb^{2+}$ 등과 같은 중금속과 공존할 경우의 독성영향을 발광박테리아인 Vibrio fischeri를 이용하여 평가하였다. 우선, Triclosan과 상기 6종 중금속의 단일물질별 Vibrio fischeri에 대한 독성을 평가한 결과, $Hg^{2+}$의 독성이 가장 높았으며 뒤이어 Triclosan > $Pb^{2+}$ > $Cu^{2+}$ > $Cr^{6+}$ > $Zn^{2+}$ > $Cd^{2+}$순의 독성민감도가 나타났다. 각 물질의 독성평가결과를 바탕으로 Triclosan과 중금속 혼합물질의 독성작용분석을 위해 유사한 독성작용을 가정하여 독성치를 예측하는 Concentration Addition (CA)모델과 독립적인 독성작용을 가정하여 독성치를 예측하는 Independent Action (IA)모델에 대한 상관도분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 Triclosan + Cu, Triclosan + Zn, Triclosan + Pb, Triclosan + Hg, Triclosan + Cd, 그리고 Triclosan + Cr 등 모든 조합에서 CA모델보다는 IA모델과 상관성이 높은 것으로 나타나 Triclosan과 대상 중금속들은 서로 독립적인 독성작용을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 Triclosan과 중금속의 혼합독성영향은 IA모델로 예측된 $EC_{50mix}$기준으로 Triclosan + Cu, Triclosan + Zn, Triclosan + Pb, Triclosan + Hg, Triclosan + Cd, 그리고 Triclosan + Cr의 실측 $EC_{50mix}$이 IA모델로 예측한 농도보다 각각 191%, 226%, 138%, 137%, 209% 그리고 138%로 나타나, Triclosan과 시험 중금속이 공존하는 경우, 모두 길항작용이 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다.

The oxidative transformation of triclosan with laccase from Trametes versicolor was conducted in a closed, temperature controlled system containing phosphate buffer for pH control. The optimum pH for triclosan transformation showed about 5. Despite the observation that elevated temperatures tended to inactivate the enzyme, increased transformation of triclosan was observed up to $50^{\circ}C$. Of the mediators studied, ABTS was most successful at enhancing triclosan transformation. About 80% of the toxicity of the initial mixture was reduced after the enzymatic treatment. In the presence of 1.0 mM of anions such as sulfite, sulfide, and cyanide, triclosan transformation was greatly inhibited. Chloride and fluoride ions exhibited inhibition of triclosan transformation at 25 mM. Ferric ion substantially inhibited triclosan transformation at 1.0 mM.

Triclosan, the widely used biocide, specifically targets enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (ENR) in the bacterial fatty acid synthesis system. Although the fish pathogen Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida exhibits triclosan resistance, the nature of this resistance has not been elucidated. Here, we aimed to characterize the triclosan resistance of A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida causing furunculosis. The fosmid library of triclosan-resistant A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida was constructed to select a fosmid clone showing triclosan resistance. With the fosmid clone showing triclosan resistance, a subsequent secondary library search resulted in the selection of subclone pTSR-1. DNA sequence analysis of pTSR-1 revealed the presence of a chromosomal-borne fabV-encoding ENR homolog. The ENR of A. salmonicida (FabVas) exhibited significant homology with previously known FabV, including the catalytic domain YX₍₈₎K. fabVas introduction into E. coli dramatically increased its resistance to triclosan. Heterologous expression of FabVas might functionally replace the triclosan-sensitive FabI in vivo to confer E. coli with triclosan resistance. A genome-wide search for fabVas homologs revealed the presence of an additional fabV gene (fabVas2) paralog in A. salmonicida strains and the fabVas orthologs from other gram-negative fish pathogens. Both of the potential FabV ENRs expressed similarly with or without triclosan supplement. This is the first report about the presence of two potential FabV ENRs in a single pathogenic bacterium. Our result suggests that triclosan-resistant ENRs are widely distributed in various bacteria in nature, and the wide use of this biocide can spread these triclosan-tolerant ENRs among fish pathogens and other pathogenic bacteria.

Triclosan is a synthetic antimicrobial agent used in numerous industrial and personal care products. Triclosan collected in wastewater treatment plants can be biodegraded up to 80%. However, little is studied about the abundances of known triclosan-degrading bacteria in activated sludge systems. A previous study reported that Sphingopyxis strain KCY1 isolated from activate sludge can cometabolically degrade triclosan. Recently, a quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay specific to strain KCY1 has been developed. Thus, this study investigated the abundance of strain KCY1 in three different activated sludge wastewater treatments using a qPCR assay. Additionally, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), known as triclosan-degraders, and amoA gene were quantified. Strain KCY1 were detected in activated sludge samples from three different wastewater treatment plants. The concentrations of strain KCY1 and AOB were on the order of $10^5-10^6$ gene copies/mL, while amoA gene concentration was on the order of $10^4$ gene copies/mL.

The triclosan was shown to have anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory effect with inhibition of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin $E_2(PGE_2)$. The purpose of this study was to elucidate whether and how $PGE_2$ could be inhibited by triclosan in human gingival fibroblast. Human gingival fibroblast-1 cells (ATCC CRL2014) were pre-treated for 1 hour with triclosan (0.001 ${\mu}/ml{\sim}10$ ${\mu}/ml$) and then stimulated with $TNF-{\alpha}$ (1.0 ng/ml). $PGE_2$ synthesis was evaluated by ELISA and gene expression of COX-1 and COX-2 was evaluated by RT-PCR after $TNF-{\alpha}$, triclosan, and NS-398 (COX-2 inhibitor, 5, ${\mu}M$) and/ or cycloheximide (protein synthesis inhibitor, 2 ${\mu}g/ml$). Triclosan was cytotoxic to human gingival fibroblasts in the concentration higher than 1.0 ${\mu}g/ml$ for longer than 24 hours in tissue culture. The $PGE_2$ synthesis was inhibited by triclosan in dose-dependent manner. Greater COX-2 mRNA suppression was observed with triclosan (0.1 ${\mu}g/ml$) than with $TNF-{\alpha}$ alone, without change in COX-1 gene expression. Inhibitory effects of triclosan on $PGE_2$ synthesis disappeared in presence of cycloheximide. This study suggests that triclosan inhibit prostaglandin $E_2$ at the level of COX-2 gene regulation and require de novo protein synthesis.

Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) including endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) and pharmaceuticals and personal care product chemicals (PPCPs) have recently received more attention because of their occurrence in water bodies and harmful impacts on human health and aquatic organisms. Triclosan is widely used as a synthetic broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent due to its antimicrobial efficacy. However, triclosan detected in aquatic environment has been recently considered as one of CECs, because of the potential for endocrine disruption, the formation of toxic by-products and the development of cross-resistance to antibiotics in aquatic environment. This comprehensive review focuses on the regulations, toxicology, fate and transport, occurrence and removal efficiency of triclosan. Overall, this review aims to provide better understanding of triclosan and insight into application of biological treatment process as an efficient method for triclosan removal.

본 연구는 E-beam 공정을 통한 triclosan의 광분해에 대하여 조사하였다. 공정의 최적화는 실험계획법에 의한 회분식 실험을 통해 수행되었다. 실험계획법은 통계적 적용 방안의 하나로 각 인자간의 영향을 고려하기 위해 반응표면을 설계하는 방법이다. 반응은 triclosan의 제거율(%, $Y_1$)과 TOC 제거율(%, $Y_2$)로 적용되었고 두 개의 독립변수로서 triclosan의 농도를 "$x_1$", 조사강도를 "$x_2$"로 설계하였다. 코드화 된 인자에 대한 Triclosan 제거율과 TOC 제거율에 따른 회귀식은 각각 $Y_1=63-12.4335x_1+15.1835x_2+5.8125x{_1}^2-5.6875x{_2}^2-0.75x_1x_2(R^2=95.1%,\;R^2(Adj)=91.7%)$과 $Y_2=46-8.8462x_1+11.7175x_2-0.75x{_1}^2-6.25x{_2}^2(R^2=98.7%,\;R^2(Adj)=97.7%)$로 나타났다. $Y_1$과 $Y_2$에 대한 모델 예측식의 결정계수($R^2$)와 수정결정계수($R{^2}_{(Adj)}$)의 값이 90% 이상으로 나타나 실험적 관찰결과와 잘 부합하였다. 이러한 결과는 회귀모델이 E-beam 공정에서의 인자영향을 잘 설명하며 통계적 적용이 성공적으로 적용된 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, the reductive dechlorination of triclosan using zero-valent iron (ZVI, $Fe^0$) and modified zero-valent iron (i.e., acid-washed iron (Aw/Fe) and palladium-coated iron (Pd/Fe)) was experimentally investigated, and the reduction characteristics were evaluated by analyzing the reaction kinetics. Triclosan could be reductively decomposed using zero-valent iron. The degradation rates of triclosan were about 50% and 67% when $Fe^0$ and Aw/Fe were used as reductants, respectively, after 8 h of reaction. For the Pd/Fe system, the degradation rate was about 57% after 1 h of reaction. Thus, Pd/Fe exhibited remarkable performance in the reductive degradation of triclosan. Several dechlorinated intermediates were predicted by GC-MS spectrum, and 2-phenoxyphenol was detected as the by-product of the decomposition reaction of triclosan, indicating that reductive dechlorination occurred continuously. As the reaction proceeded, the pH of the solution increased steadily; the pH increase for the Pd/Fe system was smaller than that for the $Fe^0$ and Aw/Fe system. Further, zero-order, first-order, and second-order kinetic models were used to analyze the reaction kinetics. The first-order kinetic model was found to be the best with good correlation for the $Fe^0$ and Aw/Fe system. However, for the Pd/Fe system, the experimental data were evaluated to be well fitted to the second-order kinetic model. The reaction rate constants (k) were in the order of Pd/Fe > Aw/Fe > $Fe^0$, with the rate constant of Pd/Fe being much higher than that of the other two reductants.
