Polyspermy is the most commonly observed cause of embryonic abnormalities in fertilization, often resulting in death. In sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus), however, polyspermic embryos have high survival (similar to a control group) and morphological development is similar to monospermic larvae. Ploidy of these individuals is n/2n mosaic (whereas the normal state for A. ruthenus is a functional diploid). This study was undertaken to test whether sturgeon eggs can be fertilized by several spermatozoa from different species to produce viable offspring from three interspecific parents: A. ruthenus (2n), A. gueldenstaedtii (4n), and A. baerii (4n). Four trials were performed: (1) and (2) A. baerii eggs were fertilized with a mixture of A. ruthenus and A. gueldenstaedtii sperm; (3) A. gueldenstaedtii eggs were fertilized with a mixture of A. baerii and A. ruthenus sperm; and (4) A. gueldenstaedtii eggs were fertilized with a mixture of A. gueldenstaedtii and A. ruthenus sperm. Fertilized embryos with abnormal cleavage (3, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 cells) were collected and kept separately until 14 days post-fertilization. Ploidy level of 25 larvae (hatched from abnormal cleaved embryos) was evaluated by flow cytometry. Forty-four percent of observed hybrids had a mosaic 2n/3n ploidy. Five larva were processed further with microsatellite analysis and demonstrated that three specimens were heterospecific polyspermic larvae, containing alleles from three parents, and two specimens were conspesific polyspermic larvae from two parents. This astonishing phenomenon was emphasized by the fact that it was generated without any significant intervention.

Utilization of relatively low-cost modification of Fenton reaction for the elimination of selected antibiotics and resistant coliforms in different part of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was studied. The concentration of antibiotics and occurrence of resistant gems in different stages of WWTP in the capital city of Slovakia - Bratislava was analyzed by LC-MS/MS technique. Consequently, Fenton-like reaction was applied for the elimination of chemical and biological contaminants. Comparative study with classical Fenton reaction was also done. Very high concentrations of clarithromycin, ciprofloxacin and azithromycin in influent water were found. Coliform bacteria were predominantly resistant to ampicillin, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin. After the mechanical stage, the concentration of antibiotics in water was significantly decreased because of the sorption during this step. Biological step degraded 12 types of antibiotics. Analyses of effluent water showed very bad elimination of azithromycin (919ng/L) and clarithromycin (684ng/L). Contrary, ciprofloxacin was removed with very high efficiency (95%). The number of resistant bacteria was also significantly decreased in effluent water. In the case of Escherichia coli only ampicillin and gentamicin resistance bacteria were detected. Our results show that antibiotics as well as resistant bacteria were eliminated by the modification of classical Fenton reaction with high efficiency. The modification of the Fenton reaction can decrease the process wages, environmental impact. Moreover, the degradation process was easily controlled, monitored and tuned.
