AB  - Assessment of impact of pollution in the environmental studies requires multi-endpoints approach to properly
link cause and effects of pollution with focus on chemical pollution. In this sense systematic weight-of-evidence
approach (WoE) with multiple lines of evidence (LoEs) is preferable to apply. The WoE approach highlights the
importance to identify strengths and weaknesses of used LoEs. Therefore, in this study we have tested efficacy
of genotoxicological endpoints as one of the LoEs in the in situ assessment of pollution effects in the freshwater
ecosystems using Alburnus alburnus (bleak) as a bioindicator species. Additional LoEs that were used in the
study are: component-based methods for the assessment of SumTU in water based on monitoring data of the
Serbian Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), effect based methods employing in vitro genotoxicological
analyses of Joint Danube Survey 4 (JDS4) water extracts and field derived species inventories for the
assessment and indication of ecological status/potential based on SEPA and JDS4 data. The study was
conducted within the JDS4 campaign at nine sampling sites at the Tisa, Sava, Velika Morava and Danube rivers
in the Republic of Serbia. In the case of three sampling sites, the results were uniform, meaning that all four
LoEs pointed to pollution pressure. The differences in the LoEs outcomes for other sites indicated the
importance of multiple LoEs approach for proper identification of ecological impact. In the case of current
study we have identified comet and micronucleus assay to be appropriate for the genotoxicological assessment
in the in situ studies due to high sensitivity in discrimination of sites in relation to pollution intensity, while
RAPD analysis to be more suitable for controlled ex situ investigations.

AB  - Lake Ludaš is a protected nature reserve in Serbia that has been the focus of scientific interest, due to
perpetual water quality deterioration that has led to consistent cyanobacterial blooms for almost five decades. To describe the possible effects of cyanotoxins on fish (Carrasius gibelio) inhabiting Lake Ludaš, several examinations were performed in November of 2018, including: assessment of water quality (physical and chemical parameters, as well as water microbiology), and assessment of several tissues of C. gibelio (micronucleus test, comet assay, and histopathological analyses). The water quality of Lake Ludaš has been categorized as class III, indicating moderate pollution. Physical and chemical parameters from November of 2018 seemed to be within acceptable levels. Examined fish tissues showed signs of DNA damage (highest in the blood, followed by the liver and gills), and histological alterations (in the liver
and gills). Although other xenobiotics can induce similar changes, cyanotoxins could be the most likely cause of the observed alterations in C. gibelio tissues. The present study demonstrates the need to monitor this important wetland of international significance, since the living organisms in Lake Ludaš are showing signs of environmental stress suggesting that the preservation and natural balance of this ecosystem could be in danger.

AB  - Environmental studies which aim to assess the ecological impact of chemical and other types of pollution should employ a complex weight-of-evidence approach with multiple lines of evidence (LoEs). This study focused on in situ genotoxicological methods such as the comet and micronucleus assays and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis as one of the multiple LoEs (LoE3) on the fish species Alburnus alburnus (bleak) as a bioindicator. The study was carried out within the Joint Danube Survey 4 (JDS4) at nine sites in the Danube River Basin in the Republic of Serbia. Out of nine sampling sites, two were situated at the Tisa, Sava, and Velika Morava rivers, and three sites were at the Danube River. The three additionally employed LoEs were: SumTUwater calculated based on the monitoring data in the database of the Serbian Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) (LoE1); in vitro analyses of JDS4 water extracts employing genotoxicological methods (LoE2); assessment of the ecological status/potential by SEPA and indication of the ecological status for the sites performed within the JDS4 (LoE4). The analyzed biomarker responses in the bleak were integrated into the unique integrated biomarker response index which was used to rank the sites. The highest pollution pressure was recorded at JDS4 39 and JDS4 36, while the lowest was at JDS4 35. The impact of pollution was confirmed at three sites, JDS4 33, 40, and 41, by all four LoEs. At other sampling sites, a difference was observed regarding the pollution depending on the employed LoEs. This indicates the importance of implementing a comprehensive weight-of-evidence approach to ensure the impact of pollution is not overlooked when using only one LoE as is often the case in environmental studies.

AB  - In this study, the possible 'vector effect' within the exposure of Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) to polystyrene microplastics with adsorbed fluoranthene was investigated by applying the multibiomarker approach. The major focus was placed on genotoxicological endpoints as to our knowledge there are no literature data on the genotoxicity of polystyrene microparticles alone or with adsorbed fluoranthene in the selected experimental organisms. DNA damage was assessed in haemocytes by comet assay and micronucleus test. For the assessment of neurotoxicity, acetylcholinesterase activity was measured in gills. Glutathione S-transferase was assessed in gills and hepatopancreas since these enzymes are induced for biotransformation and excretion of lipophilic compounds such as hydrocarbons. Finally, differences in physiological response within the exposure to polystyrene particles, fluoranthene, or particles with adsorbed fluoranthene were assessed by the variation of heart rate patterns studied by the noninvasive laser fibre-optic method. The uniform response of individual biomarkers within the exposure groups was not recorded. There was no clear pattern in variation of acetylcholinesterase or glutathione S-transferase activity which could be attributed to the treatment. Exposure to polystyrene increased DNA damage which was detected by the comet assay but was not confirmed by micronucleus formation. Data of genotoxicity assays indicated differential responses among the groups exposed to fluoranthene alone and fluoranthene adsorbed to polystyrene. Change in the heart rate patterns within the studied groups supports the concept of the Trojan horse effect within the exposure to polystyrene particles with adsorbed fluoranthene.

AB  - Within the Joint Danube Survey 4 (JDS4) (2019) surface water samples
were collected at 24 localities along the Danube River and were extracted by
horizon large volume solid-phase extraction (LVSPE) technique. LVSPE
technique provided 25,000x relative enrichment factor (REF) of the river
samples. The bioactivity of the LVSPE samples was investigated employing
prokaryotic SOS/umuC assay (S9+ and S9-) and battery of bioassays
analyzing different endpoints – cytotoxicity (MTS assay), genotoxicity
(comet assay), cell cycle analyses of ZFL cells and embryo toxicity (zFET) in
eukaryotic models (zebrafish liver cell line – ZFL and Danio rerio embryos –
zebrafish). In the case of the SOS/umuC assay none of the tested samples
(REF100) has induced genotoxic effect. The cytotoxic effect was detected for
11 samples at REF100 (MTS assay). The comet assay results indicated
genotoxic potential for nine samples – one in the Upper Danube, six in the
Middle Danube and two in the Lower Danube. The most potent were
JDS4-37 and JDS4-41 samples collected at two sites in the Serbian part of
the Danube River. These samples were analyzed at REF13. The analysis of
the cell cycle was performed in the case of eight samples for which were
previously recorded genotoxic effect. For one sample (JDS4-41) was found
the G1 phase cell cycle arrest. The zFET assay was performed for all the
samples at REF100 and there was no embryo toxicity or teratogenicity
recorded. The results obtained within this study indicate a higher sensitivity
of eukaryotic models compared to prokaryotic SOS/umuC assay. Likewise, it
was found that most of the genotoxic samples originate from the middle
part of the Danube.

genotoxic potential for nine samples – one in the Upper Danube, six in the
Middle Danube and two in the Lower Danube. The most potent were
JDS4-37 and JDS4-41 samples collected at two sites in the Serbian part of
the Danube River. These samples were analyzed at REF13. The analysis of
the cell cycle was performed in the case of eight samples for which were
previously recorded genotoxic effect. For one sample (JDS4-41) was found
the G1 phase cell cycle arrest. The zFET assay was performed for all the
samples at REF100 and there was no embryo toxicity or teratogenicity
recorded. The results obtained within this study indicate a higher sensitivity
of eukaryotic models compared to prokaryotic SOS/umuC assay. Likewise, it
was found that most of the genotoxic samples originate from the middle
part of the Danube.",

AB  - BACKGROUND
The increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics poses a serious global threat. For that reason, the research into plant-derived antibacterial agents has become progressively more interesting, particularly in regard to their capacity to prevent the delay or inability of wound closure and healing.
OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study was to evaluate i) the antibacterial potential of ethanolic extracts (70% ethanol) of 18
Lamiaceae species against four Gram-negative and three Gram-positive bacterial strains; ii) the effect of these extracts on Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 infection of human lung fibroblasts (MRC-5), and iii) the effect on MRC-5 cell migration.
METHODS
The antibacterial activity was tested by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay. The effect on bacterial infection of MRC-5 cells was determined using the invasion assay, while the cell migration was assessed with Scratch assay.
RESULTS
The tested Gram-positive bacteria, especially Bacillus subtilis, are more sensitive to the effects of ethanolic extracts than the Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, the tested extracts significantly inhibited the invasion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 during MRC-5 infection, and most of them also displayed promising stimulating potential on MRC-5 migration in a disrupted cell monolayer. Finally, the results of IBR (integrated biomarker response) analysis highlighted Salvia officinalis ethanolic extract as the most active one, which is in accordance with the existing data suggesting that this plant represents an effective antibacterial and wound-healing agent commonly used in traditional medicine. Altogether, these results are expected to foster further studies that will focus on combating bacterial resistance to antibiotics using natural products.

AB  - BACKGROUND
Prokaryotic assays are of great interest in eco/geno-toxicology as they are short-term, simple and cost
effective. Application of strains of Salmonella typhimurium with modifications such as increased cell wall
permeability and lack of excision repair system is common for the detection of genotoxicity. Various eukaryotic models have been developed lately, such as fish derived cell lines, which can mimic the response of the aquatic organisms. Considering different level of cell organization among these models, difference in sensitivity is expected, yet only few studies address this topic.
OBJECTIVES
The major objective was to investigate genotoxic potential of extracts of surface water of the Danube
and to compare the results obtained in applied prokaryotic and eukaryotic models.
METHODS
Surface water samples from 24 sites along the Danube River were extracted by LVSPE Horizon sampler providing relative enrichment factor (REF) of the extracts of 25,000x. For representative prokaryotic model the SOS/umuC assay with S. typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 was used. Eukaryotic model comprised assessment of cytotoxicity by MTS test and assessment of genotoxicity by comet assay in ZFL (ZebraFish Liver) cells.
RESULTS
While none of the tested samples has induced SOS response, the result of MTS assay indicated that 11 of 24 samples were cytotoxic. In comet assay, genotoxic potential was found in 9 of 24 samples. Results indicated higher sensitivity of used eukaryotic model in comparison with prokaryotic. Applied prokaryotic assay is often suggested to be used as prescreening tool in diagnostics of genotoxic potential which by our opinion could be misleading.

AB  - Biological activity of 2-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone (TBQ) and its derivatives, 2-tert-butyl-5-(2-propylthio)-1,4-benzoquinone, 2-tert-butyl-5- -(propylthio)-1,4-benzoquinone, 2-tert-butyl-5,6-(ethylenedithio)-1,4-benzoquinone, 2-tert-butyl-5-(phenylthio)-1,4-benzoquinone and 2-tert-butyl-6-(phenylthio)- 1,4-benzoquinone, were tested for their antioxidant, antibacterial, toxic, cytotoxic and genotoxic potential. Using the DPPH test, all derivatives showed good antioxidant activity, better than ascorbic acid, and the 2-tert- -butyl-5-(propylthio)-1,4-benzoquinone derivative showed the strongest effect. Better antibacterial potential was observed against Gram-positive bacteria in the broth microdilution method in which the 2-tert-butyl-5-(phenylthio)-1,4- -benzoquinone derivative showed the strongest activity (MIC = 15.6 μM). The results of toxicity tests, using the Brine shrimp test, indicated that the derivatives lose their toxic potential compared to TBQ, except for 2-tert-butyl-6- -(phenylthio)-1,4-benzoquinone, which showed a 3 times stronger effect. Cytotoxicity was assessed by the MTT assay in 24 and 72 h treatments in MRC-5, HS 294T and A549 cell lines in threefold decreasing gradient (11, 33 and 100 μM). Modifications potentiate the cytotoxic effect, and the strongest effect was observed with the 2-tert-butyl-5,6-(ethylendithio)-1,4-benzoquinone derivative. In addition, the genotoxic potential was examined in the MRC-5 cell line using the comet assay. All tested derivatives of TBQ showed a genotoxic effect at all applied subtoxic concentrations. In general, the chemical modifications of TBQ enhanced its biological activity.

AB  - Excessive fluoride (F-) levels in the environment could induce different pathological changes, including comorbidities in reproductive functions. Hence, the aim of the present in vivo study was to explore F- subacute toxicity mechanisms via Benchmark dose (BMD) methodology on rat's testicles. The experiment was conducted on thirty male Wistar rats for 28 days, divided into six groups (n = 5): 1) Control (tap water); 2) 10 mg/L F-; 3) 25 mg/L F-; 4) 50 mg/L F-; 5) 100 mg/L F-; 6) 150 mg/L F-. Testicles were dissected out and processed for the determination of F- tissue concentrations, redox status parameters, essential elements level, and DNA damage. PROASTweb 70.1 software was used for determination of external and internal dose-response relationship. The results confirmed a significant increase in superoxide anion (O2.-), total oxidative status (TOS), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), DNA damage levels, and decrease in superoxide dismutase activity (SOD1) and total thiol (SH) groups. The dose-dependent changes were confirmed for SOD1 activity and DNA damage. The most sensitive parameters were SOD1 activity and DNA damage with the lowest BMDLs 0.1 μg F-/kg b. w. Since human and animal populations are daily and frequently unconsciously exposed to F-, this dose-response study is valuable for further research regarding the F- health risk assessment.

Ciljevi studije su procena genotoksičnog potencijala analiziranih lokaliteta i ispitivanje osetljivosti primenjenih biotestova i pristupa istraživanja. Studija slučaja Velika Morava obuhvatila je veliko ispitivano područje na osam lokaliteta na Velikoj, Zapadnoj i Južnoj Moravi, a u studiji Sava ispitivano je tri prostorno bliska lokaliteta koji su pod različitim pritiscima zagađenja. U in silico pristupu na osnovu literaturnih podataka analiziran je toksični/genotoksični potencijal jedinjenja detektovanih u vodi. Ex situ/in vitro pristup obuhvatio je ispitivanje genotoksičnog potencijala pomoću SOS/umuC testa, kao i primenom alkalnog komet testa na HepG2 ćelijskoj liniji. U in situ/in vivo istraživanju analizirano je DNK oštećenje ćelija krvi vrste Alburnus alburnus (uklija) pomoću alkalnog, Fpg-modifikovanog komet testa i mikronukleus testa. Rezultati su pokazali različitu osetljivost zavisno od upotrebljenih testova i pristupa, ali i različit odgovor kod uklija u zavisnosti od tipa zagađenja na lokalitetima. In silico i ex situ/in vitro pristupi su pokazali niži stepen osetljivosti u odnosu na in situ/in vivo testove, a alkalni komet test je pokazao najveći potencijal u diskriminaciji lokaliteta.

AB  - This research was aimed to assess the potential of Glechoma hederacea, Hyssopus officinalis, Lavandula angustifolia, Leonurus cardiaca, Marrubium vulgare and Sideritis scardica (Lamiaceae) methanolic, ethanolic and aqueous extracts against the damaging effects of oxidative stress using different experimental models. The chemical characterization was done spectrophotometrically by quantifying total phenolics, phenolic acids, flavonoids and flavonols in the extracts, as well as by employing HPLC-DAD technique. Moreover, DPPH assay was used to assess the extracts' radical scavenging potential. Genoprotective properties of the extracts were evaluated using plasmid pUC19 Escherichia coli XL1-Blue, whereas their antigenotoxic potential was determined using Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 and normal human lung fibroblasts. All of the extracts showed antioxidant activity in DPPH assay. Furthermore, the results have shown that aqueous extracts provided the best protection for plasmid DNA, while alcoholic extracts most effectively contributed to the preservation of prokaryotic DNA. Additionally, each of the tested samples significantly protected the eukaryotic cells against genomic damages. Finally, despite not showing exceptional results in DPPH assay, S. scardica extracts are regarded as the most favorable in maintaining the integrity of DNA, which might be due to high quantities of phenolics such as quercetin (up to 17.95 mg g-1), naringin (up to 5.07 mg g-1) and luteolin-7-O-glucoside (up to 3.54 mg g-1). Overall, this comprehensive concept highlights the ability of these Lamiaceae species to safeguard the DNA from reactive oxygen species, to curtail the inflicted damage and also improve the efficiency of the DNA repair mechanisms, while emphasizing the importance of polyphenols as their active principles.

AB  - Surface waters in Serbia are under high anthropogenic pressure. One of the major problems is untreated municipal and industrial wastewaters. Unfortunately, Serbia processes only 5 % of wastewaters before discharging. As a consequence, pollutants such as metals and metalloids from industrial wastewaters, pharmaceuticals, compounds from personal care products, etc. directly endure into surface water. Microbial faecal pollution, as an indicator of presence of human or/and animal pathogens, due to health hazard limits water usage for drinking, recreation, irrigation, etc. In regulations, faecal coliforms, with Escherichia coli as dominant representative, are widely used as faecal indicator bacteria. The aim of this study was to investigate the microbiological al water quality in the Republic of Serbia at the sites which are not routinely investigated within the national monitoring program. In this purpose 78 sites situated on canals, mountain springs, as well as lowland rivers were selected. Defined Substrate Technology was used for determination Most Probable Number (MPN) of E. coli using Colilert-18 System. The water classification system, developed for the Danube River (Kavka et al., 2006) was used. 
The results indicated that more than 47 % of selected sites are under critical (21.79 %) or strong (25.64 %) faecal pollution. On the other hand, about 32 % (32.05 %) of sites are little polluted and 20.51 % of sites showed moderate pollution. The increasing levels of faecal pollution detected on sites situated downstream of settlements indicated discharge of untreated municipal wastewaters directly into surface water. In further research, the focus will be placed on the determination of the origin of pollution by the employment of microbial source tracking technique. Obtained data will be used for modelling and predicting the effect of detected contamination on the water quality of the major water bodies in the Republic of Serbia

On the other hand, about 32 % (32.05 %) of sites are little polluted and 20.51 % of sites showed moderate pollution. The increasing levels of faecal pollution detected on sites situated downstream of settlements indicated discharge of untreated municipal wastewaters directly into surface water. In further research, the focus will be placed on the determination of the origin of pollution by the employment of microbial source tracking technique. Obtained data will be used for modelling and predicting the effect of detected contamination on the water quality of the major water bodies in the Republic of Serbia",

AB  - Untreated municipal and industrial wastewaters are one of the major pollutants of surface
water in Serbia. Municipal wastewaters, besides chemical pollutants, contain faecal matter and
human pathogens. Within the study, microbiological water quality was assessed at 40
sampling stations within the territory of Republic Serbia which are not covered by routine
monitoring programs. The presence and number of Escherichia coli was chosen as the
parameter of the faecal pollution. The results indicated that water of 57.5% selected sites
belong to the III or IV class. The most of polluted sites were situated downstream of
settlements, which confirmed the importance of wastewaters treatment plants construction
AB  - Neprerađene komunalne i industrijske otpadne vode su jedan od glavnih zagađivača

AB  - The literature data on the microbiological water quality of the surface and groundwaters in Montenegro is very scarce. Therefore, this chapter aims to provide an insight in the microbiological water quality of rivers in Montenegro by compiling the data obtained in period 2009–2018 in national monitoring program and the data collected within the Montenegro survey in 2019 with an emphasis on the hotspots of faecal pollution and possible sources of pollution. Despite the high risk that poor implementation of wastewater treatment might represent for Montenegro, the obtained dataset indicates that overall microbiological water quality of rivers in Montenegro is quite good. About 80% of the investigated sites have bathing water quality according to Montenegrin legislation. Only four sites were identified as hotspots of faecal pollution where the human source of pollution prevails.

AB  - Montenegrin surface water and groundwater are important for the Balkan Peninsula since they are connected by the transboundary Dinaric Karst Aquifer System with the waters of additional five countries. The pollution from the surface water can rapidly infiltrate in aquifer and endanger this sensible ecosystem and the health of humans through drinking water supply. This chapter gives insights in the pressures of pollution on Montenegrin waters and in a limited literature data regarding freshwater ecotoxicological studies in Montenegro. Also, this chapter provides new ecotoxicological data obtained during survey in 2019, with a focus on the sites which are identified as hotspots of fecal pollution. The highest responses of biomarkers which indicate embryotoxic, genotoxic, and phytotoxic effects in zebrafish embryo test and in roots of Allium cepa were obtained at Ćehotina – downstream of Pljevlja. Similar results were detected at the site downstream Mojkovac at Tara, yet this site is affected by different type of pollution. Genotoxic endpoints in zebrafish stressed out sites on Morača and Lim rivers which are under pressures of fecal pollution. The data in this chapter provides an insight into current status obtained by the ex situ bioassays and indicates need for more comprehensive in situ assessment.

AB  - The aims of this study were to: (i) examine the toxic effects of sodium fluoride (NaF) in blood, liver, spleen, and brain cells of Wistar rats after the subacute exposure; (ii) explore the potential protective properties of selenium (Se) against fluoride toxicity after the simultaneous administration. Twenty male Wistar rats, eight weeks old, weighing approximately 140–190 g, were divided into four experimental groups (n = 5) as follows: I control-tap water; II NaF 150 ppm; III NaF 150 ppm and Se 1.5 mg/L; IV Se 1.5 mg/L, and had available water with solutions ad libitum for 28 days. DNA damage detected by comet assay was confirmed in the liver, spleen, and brain cells, but not in blood. Selenium supplementation together with NaF decreased DNA damage in liver and spleen cells. According to the histological findings, no changes were observed in spleen and brain tissues after NaF administration. Unlike the observed Se protective effect on the DNA level, no significant reduction of liver tissue injury was observed after the NaF and Se treatment, resulting in mild inflammation. Data of this study suggest that DNA damage after NaF subacute exposure at moderately high concentration was reduced in liver and spleen cells due to Se supplementation, but a similar change was not seen in the brain.

AB  - This study deals with bleak (Alburnus alburnus) sensitivity in detecting of the wastewater related pressure in large lowland rivers. The major objective was to investigate if the response measured in bleak should be linked to a certain stretch of the river and characterised as "stretch specific", or it should be linked to the sampling site and characterised as "site specific". The response was evaluated via condition index, metal pollution index, DNA damage and cell viability using integrated biomarker response approach. The study was conducted at 3 sub-sites characterized by different pollution levels in a relatively short stretch (2 km) of the Sava River (Serbia). Results indicated that the response of the biomarkers in bleak can be interpreted as "site specific". Among the studied biomarkers, DNA damage assessed by comet assay and micronucleus test has shown high sensitivity in differentiation of the sites.
