Keywords: freshwater mollusks Melanoides tuberculata pesticides glyphosate |
Summary: In current conditions of intensive agriculture, pollution of aquatic ecosystems with pesticides is becoming an urgent problem. One of the most common herbicides in the Russian Federation is Glyphosate, it occupies a special place. In search of biomarkers of pesticide pollution of water bodies, the study examined changes in the biochemical parameters of the mollusk Melanoides tuberculata under the influence of glyphosate. The study shows that the activity of the enzyme of the exchange complex - acid phosphatase of Melanoides tuberculata - changes significantly relative to the control values and this change has a phase character. This indicates a complex reaction of the mollusk to toxic effects. In parallel with the detection of changes in biochemical activity, the presence of an additional multiple form of acid phosphatase was determined electrophoretically. This indicates an epigenetic mechanism of adaptation of Melanoides tuberculata to the action of glyphosate. The obtained results not only expand our understanding of the biochemical mechanisms of adaptation of aquatic organisms to pollution, but also open up prospects for the development of new biomarkers that allow rapid assessment of the level of pesticide pollution of water bodies. This is especially important for monitoring the ecological state of water bodies and developing measures for their protection. © Petrozavodsk State University |
