Conjugating Enzymes Involved in Xenobiotic Metabolism of Organic Xenobiotics in Plants.
Int. J. Phytoremediat. 4 (2002)
Phytoremediation of organic pollutants has become a topic of great interest in many countries due to the increasing number of recorded spill sites. When applying plant remediation techniques to unknown pollutant mixtures, information on the uptake rates as well as on the final fate of the compounds is generally lacking. A range of compounds are easily taken up by plants, whereas others may stay motionless and recalcitrant in the soil or sediment. Uptake is a necessary prerequisite for close contact between the pollutant and the detoxifying enzymes of plants that are localized in the cytosol of living cells. The presence and activity of these enzymes is crucial for a potential metabolization and further degradation of the chemicals under consideration. Conjugation to biomolecules is regarded as a beneficial detoxification reaction. The present review summarizes several prerequisites for pollutant uptake and discusses information on conjugating detoxification reactions. The final fate of compounds is critically discussed and perspectives for phytoremediation are given.
