Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Phenanthrenequinone (PHQ) is a photoproduct of phenanthrene, one of the most prevalent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the environment. Phenanthrenequinone is a compound of substantial interest, because its toxicity can be much greater than its parent chemical to aquatic organisms. The toxicity mechanisms of PHQ to the luminescent marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri were examined in the present study. Phenanthrenequinone can redox cycle in bacterial cells and transfer electrons to O, enhancing the production of superoxide (O), hydrogen peroxide (H O), and other reactive oxygen species (ROS). Exposure of cells to PHQ increased activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), which detoxifies the ROS superoxide. Concentrations of PHQ that induced the production of H O and other ROS, as well as the elevated levels of Fe-SOD, were correlated with its toxicity as measured by luminescence. Furthermore, toxicity of PHQ to V. fischeri was lowered under the anaerobic conditions, suggesting that the absence of oxygen, which would limit the production of ROS, alleviated toxicity of PHQ. Thus, a ROS-mediated toxicity mechanism of PHQ is highly implicated by in the present study. © 2009 SETAC.
