Current mechanism studies in plant heavy metal tolerance do not consider the effects of different phenolic acids on the bioavailability of heavy metals and the comparison with antioxidant enzyme system in the hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity. In present study, by a set of pot culture experiments with adding cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) to the sediments, the effects of different phenolic acids on the toxicity of Cd and Zn in Kandelia obovata and the dominant role in scavenging hydroxyl radicals were evaluated. The results showed that 100 mg kg−1 Zn treatment promoted the growth of plant under high concentrations of Cd and Zn stress. Under the stress of Cd and Zn, the phenolic acids were mainly metabolized by phenylpropanoid and flavonoid pathways, supplemented by shikimate and monolignol pathways in K. obovata. Eleven phenolic acids with different abilities of scavenging free radicals were detected in the plant, including pyrogallic acid (Gal), coumaric acid (Cou), protocatechuic acid (Pro), chlorogenic acid (Chl), 4-hydroxy benzoic acid (Hyd), caffeic acid (Caf), vanillic acid (Van), ferulic acid (Fer), benzoic acid (Ben), and salicylic acid (Sal). By adding phenolic acids to the sediments, chlorogenic acid (Chl), pyrogallic acid (Gal), cinnamic acid (Cin), and coumaric acid (Cou) behave as more reactive in changing Cd or Zn into residual fractions than the others, and chlorogenic acid (Chl), pyrogallic acid (Gal), ferulic acid (Fer) and caffeic acid (Caf) have higher ability of scavenging hydroxyl radicals than the others. In summary, K. obovata tends to synthesize phenolic acids with strong scavenging ability of free radicals and changing the bioavailability of Cd and Zn under high concentration of Cd and Zn stress. Phenolic acids played a crucial role in the mitigative effect of heavy metal stress via scavenging free radicals and involving in the process of Cd and Zn uptake and tolerance. The results will provide important theoretical basis and method guidance for mangrove wetland conservation. Image 1 • Kandelia obovata phenolic acid metabolism is involved in alleviating the toxic process of cadmium and zinc. • Phenolic acids can remove hydroxyl radicals better than antioxidant enzymes. • Four phenolic metabolism pathways participate in alleviating the toxic of Cd and Zn. • Different phenolic acids have different ways to alleviate the oxidative damage caused by Cd and Zn stress. • Kandelia obovata is selective in the synthesis and secretion of phenolic acids.

- Abstract
Through binding of mineral particles and elements, glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) plays a critical role in sustaining terrestrial soil quality and contributes to the fate of elements from terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems. There is little knowledge, however, of the metal sequestration patterns of GRSP in both terrestrial and aquatic soils, and this limits progress in understanding how environmental conditions influence GRSP characteristics. Here, we employed microcosm experiments to determine the molecular composition of original GRSP derived from three arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, Glomus intraradices , Glomus versiforme and Acaulospora laevis. To gain insight into the metal sequestration patterns of environmental GRSP, we investigated major subtropical and tropical mangrove wetlands in southern China. GRSP-bound metals were significantly and positively correlated with total metals, and the metal binding contributed to the metal sequestration of mangrove soils. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy results showed that original- and environmental GRSP fractions contained hydroxyl, carboxyl, amide and carbonyl functional groups, which enhanced metal binding. Environmental process had no effect on the type of functional groups of the GRSP, while it significantly changed the relative content of the functional groups. The infrared fingerprint analyses of original- and environmental GRSP revealed field-specific, however, no taxon-specific characteristics of GRSP. Biostatistical analysis of the GRSP molecular composition further revealed that the soil pollution sources regulated the ratios of functional group contents associated with hydrocarbons, proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids. By GRSP infrared fingerprints coupled with multivariate analyses, we developed a technique for source identification of heavy metal pollution, giving more reliable evidence about contributing sources.

Terrestrial fungi, especially arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, enhance heavy metal sequestration and promote ecosystem restoration. However, their ecological functions were historically overlooked in discussions regarding water quality. As an AM fungi-derived stable soil protein fraction, glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) may provide insights into the ecological functions of AM fungi associated with water quality in coastal ecosystems. Here, we first assessed the metal-loading dynamics and ecological functions of GRSP transported into aquatic ecosystems, characterized the composition characteristics, and revealed the mechanisms underlying Cu and Cd sequestration. Combining in situ sampling and in vitro cultures, we found that the composition characteristics of GRSP were significantly affected by the element and mineral composition of sediments. In situ , GRSP-bound Cu and Cd contributed 18.91–22.03% of the total Cu and 2.27–6.37% of the total Cd. Functional group ligands and ion exchange were the principal mechanisms of Cu binding by GRSP, while Cd binding was dominated by functional group ligands. During the in vitro experiment, GRSP sequestered large amounts of Cu and Cd and formed stable complexes, while further dialysis only released 25.74 ± 3.85% and 33.53 ± 3.62% of GRSP-bound Cu and Cd, respectively.
