TI  - Effects of tetrabromobisphenol A on maize (Zea mays L.) physiological indexes, 
      soil enzyme activity, and soil microbial biomass.

AB  - TetrabromobisphenolA (TBBPA) is the most widely used brominated flame retardant, 
      and it has the characteristics of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), 
      attracting considerable attention. Many studies mainly focus on TBBPA 
      toxicological effects in aquatic animals and rodents, but the ecotoxicology data 
      of TBBPA on plant-soil system are limited so far. In this study, we assessed the 
      impacts of TBBPA on maize (Zea mays L.) physiological indexes, soil enzyme 
      activity, and soil microbial biomass at different concentrations of TBBPA (0, 
      0.75, 3.75, 7.5, 15, 37.5 and 75 mg.kg(-1)) and explored their relationships. 
      Results showed that the maize physiological indexes and chlorophyll contents were 
      significantly decreased by TBBPA, the activities of anti-oxidative enzymes 
      including catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and the 
      contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) were remarkably enhanced. Meanwhile, TBBPA 
      activated the CAT, POD and PPO activities in soil. The low concentrations TBBPA 
      promoted the activities of soil urease (S-UE), neutral phosphatase (S-PE) and 
      increased the soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC) and nitrogen (SMBN) while the 
      high concentrations TBBPA suppressed them. Notably, the data indicated microbial 
      biomass had respectively a significant correlation with CAT, PPO and S-UE in soil 
      in the presence of TBBPA, and maize chlorophyll contents were associated with 
      SMBN, CAT, and PPO. Taken together, TBBPA caused soil pollution, affected soil 
      enzyme activities and microbial biomass, and hindered maize growth under the 
      current experimental condition, suggesting the interactions among maize growth, 
      soil enzyme, soil microorganism in maize rhizosphere of TBBPA-polluted soils are 
      very important aspects to comprehensively evaluate the ecotoxicological effects 
      of TBBPA.
