TI  - Removal of phenolic endocrine disruptors by Portulaca oleracea.
PG  - 420-6
AB  - Portulaca oleracea, a garden plant prevalent from spring to autumn in Japan, 
      showed the ability to efficiently remove from water bisphenol A (BPA), which is 
      well known as an endocrine disrupting compound (EDC) having estrogenic 
      properties. In water culture, 50 muM BPA was almost completely removed within 24 
      h when the ratio of whole plant weight to the water volume was set up at 1 g to 
      25 ml. The estrogenic activity of the water decreased in parallel with the 
      elimination of BPA. This plant also rapidly removed other EDCs having a phenol 
      group including octylphenol (OP), nonylphenol (NP), 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) 
      and 17beta-estradiol and, thereby, removed the endocrine disrupting activities. 
      In addition, the ability of P. oleracea to remove BPA was not affected by BPA 
      concentration (up to 250 microM), by cultivation in the dark, by temperatures 
      ranging from 15 degrees C to 30 degrees C, or by pH ranging from 4 to 7. 
      Moreover, the ability of P. oleracea to individually remove BPA, NP, and OP was 
      the same as when they were all present. These results suggest that P. oleracea is 
      a promising material for practical phytoremediation of landfill leachates and 
      industrial wastewater contaminated with the tested EDCs.
