镉铜单一及复合胁迫对双齿围沙蚕(Perineresis aibuhitensis)消化酶活性和抗氧化指标的影响

采用实验生态学方法,研究了Cd²⁺-Cu²⁺单一及复合胁迫3d、6d、9d对双齿围沙蚕(Perinereis aibuhitensis)消化酶活性和抗氧化指标的影响。结果表明,沙蚕的各项不同指标对Cd²⁺、Cu²⁺胁迫的响应表现出不同的变化趋势,复合胁迫中Cd²⁺-Cu²⁺对沙蚕各指标的影响存在交互效应。沙蚕3种消化酶活性大小为淀粉酶>蛋白酶>脂肪酶。Cd²⁺、Cu²⁺单一胁迫能激发沙蚕淀粉酶活性,激发作用强于复合胁迫。Cd²⁺、Cu²⁺单一胁迫实验前期低浓度组蛋白酶被抑制,高浓度组被诱导,复合胁迫实验前期Cd²⁺-Cu²⁺对蛋白酶活性的影响存在协同作用。Cd²⁺、Cu²⁺胁迫对沙蚕脂肪酶活性整体表现出抑制作用。Cd²⁺、Cu²⁺     

The capacity of marine plankton, macrophytes and particulate matter to adsorb Cu in the presence of Mg

A complexometric titration technique was employed to measure the total capacity of a variety of marine organisms to adsorb Cu²⁺. Measured adsorption capacities were 0.22 meq g⁻¹ for phytoplankton, 0.3–1.0 meq g⁻¹ for macrophytes, 1.0–2.5 meq g⁻¹ for zooplankton and 0.3 meq g⁻¹ for suspended particulate matter. The capacity of these materials to adsorb Cu²⁺ was reduced significantly in the presence of Mg²⁺ at seawater concentrations. Competition between Mg^t2+ and Cu²⁺ for adsorption sites at pH 6 is described by an average conditional equilibrium constant of 10^3.7. This constant is such that very little Cu²⁺ may be adsorbed onto particulates and marine phytoplankton in the presence of Mg²⁺. Further, primary productivity data and estimates of the detrital carbon sedimentation in Long Island Sound suggest that the flux of particulate carbon is insufficient to remove significant amounts of Cu from the water column to sediments by adsorption mechanisms.

利用离子交换层析和凝胶过滤层析等方法,从日本(Charybdis japonica)血淋巴中分离纯化出了酚氧化酶,并以L-二羟苯丙氨酸(L-DOPA)作为特异性底物对其生化性质和酶性质进行了研究。结果表明,酚氧化酶和酚氧化酶原的分子质量分别为64.5 ku和69.5 ku。以L-DOPA为底物对酚氧化酶纯品进行研究发现,其最适pH值为6.0、最适温度为40℃。对底物L-DOPA和儿茶酚的米氏常数Km值分别为3.41和7.97 mmol/L。该酶对亚硫酸钠、苯硫脲极为敏感,对硫脲、苯甲酸非常敏感,表明该酶很可能是一种儿茶酚酶型的酶。此外,EDTA,DETC,Zn2 ,Mg2 和Cu2 均能显著抑制该酶活性,且10 mmol/L Cu2 能有效地回复该酶被DETC所抑制的酶活性,表明该酶确为一种Cu-金属酶。     

4种重金属离子对彩虹明樱蛤(Moerella iridescens)的急性致毒效应

以彩虹明樱蛤养殖壳高优势组(平均壳高为17.35±1.01mm)为实验动物,进行4种重金属离子Hg2 、Cr6 、Cu2 、Zn2 对彩虹明樱蛤的急性毒性和加和等毒性强度联合毒性试验。结果表明,彩虹明樱蛤对重金属的耐药性均随实验时间延长而缓慢降低,4种重金属离子毒性大小依次为Cu2 、Hg2 、Zn2 、Cr6 ,其对彩虹明樱蛤96h的半致死质量浓度分别为0.0554mg/L、0.1099mg/L、2.2605mg/L、19.6277mg/L;Hg2 、Cr6 、Cu2 、Zn2 离子两两组合在加和等毒性强度下对彩虹明樱蛤96h联合急性毒性所呈现的致毒特征与离子间毒性强度匹配情形密切相关。     

重金属Cu、Pb在泥鳅(Misgurnus anguillicaudatus)卵巢的蓄积特性及其对卵细胞发育的影响

采用静水法生物测试手段,研究了不同浓度梯度Cu、Pb(各0.00、0.10、0.25、0.50mg/L)随时间变化在泥鳅卵巢中的蓄积特性以及对卵细胞发育的影响。结果表明,泥鳅卵巢对Cu、Pb有较强的蓄积能力,在暴露期间20天内,蓄积量与时间呈线性关系,之后呈对数关系。其中,Cu的蓄积显著大于Pb(P0.01);卵巢中重金属的蓄积与水溶液中Cu、Pb的浓度梯度相关(P0.01),具有明显的时间效应和剂量效应。泥鳅卵巢中卵细胞的发育水平,亦与溶液重金属浓度的高低、暴露时间长短有关;在不同浓度重金属溶液中较长时间的暴露,将对卵巢及卵细胞的发育产生不可逆转的负效应。     

Effects of heavy metals on phagocytosis by Molluscan hemocytes

The effects of ten heavy metal cations on phagocytosis of polystyrene latex spheres by hemocytes of the American oyster, Crassostreavirginica, were investigated. Exposure to 1 and 5 ppm Cd²⁺, 5 ppm Co²⁺, 1 ppm Cr³⁺, 1 ppm Cu²⁺, 0·5 ppm Fe³⁺, 0·05 ppm Hg²⁺, 1 and 5 ppm Mn²⁺, 1 and 5 ppm Pb²⁺, 1 ppm Sn²⁺, and 1 and 5 ppm Zn²⁺ resulted in no alteration of phagocytic ability. However, exposure to 1 ppm Co²⁺, 5 ppm Cu³⁺, 5 ppm Cu²⁺, 1 and 5 ppm Fe³⁺, 0·1 ppm Hg²⁺ and 5 ppm Sn²⁺ resulted in significantly enhanced uptake of polystyrene spheres. Finally, exposure to 0·5, 1 and 5 ppm Hg²⁺ resulted in inhibition of phagocytosis and increased cell death.

Quantitative determination of lysozyme in the hemolymph of Mytilus edulis by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

The defensive responses of the bay mussel, Mytilus edulis, to invading organisms and toxicants is primarily cellular. Hemolymph cells as well as the other organs and tissues of the mussel through their normal functioning and interactions with toxic substances influence the chemical composition of the animal's hemolymph. It has been found that the levels of specific molecules in the hemolymph fluctuate as a consequence of trace metal insult. It was proposed that one way in which trace metal toxicity may be expressed is through an influx of free lysosomal hydrolases in the hemolymph.Reported here is the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with which micro-samples of mussel hemolymph can be analyzed quantitatively for the lysosomal hydrolytic enzyme, lysozyme. During development comparisons were made of the results acquired by spectrophotometric determinations of lysozyme activity and ELISA-determined lysozyme concentrations in the hemolymph of mussels. The hemolymph from unstressed and copper-stressed mussels was examined. It was found that the overall trends in lysozyme fluctuations were indicated by both techniques. However, on occasion in copper-stressed populations a divergence between the two sets of data was observed. This suggested an effect of copper on lysozyme molecular configuration.     

Genotoxicity of copper oxide and silver nanoparticles in the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis

Though there is some information on cytotoxicity of copper nanoparticles and silver nanoparticles on human cell lines, there is no information on their genotoxic and cytotoxic behaviour in bivalve molluscs. The aim of this study was to investigate the genotoxic impact of copper oxide and silver nanoparticles using mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis. Mussels were exposed to 10 μg L⁻¹ of CuO nanoparticles and Cu²⁺ and Ag nanoparticles and Ag⁺ for 15 days to assess genotoxic effects in hemocytes using the comet assay. The results obtained indicated that copper and silver forms (nanoparticles and ionic) induced DNA damage in hemolymph cells and a time-response effect was evident when compared to unexposed mussels. Ionic forms presented higher genotoxicity than nanoparticles, suggesting different mechanisms of action that may be mediated through oxidative stress. DNA strand breaks proved to be a useful biomarker of exposure to genotoxic effects of CuO and Ag nanoparticles in marine molluscs.     

Measurement of DNA single-strand breaks in gill and hemolymph cells of mussels, Mytilus sp., collected on the French Atlantic Coast

DNA single-strand breaks were measured by the comet assay in both gill and hemolymph cells of mussels collected in 3 sampling areas of the French coast (Pointe du Castelli, Pen Bron and Saint-Nazaire Harbour). Whole mussel tissue samples were also collected for the chemical determination of PAH, PCB and heavy metal concentrations. In mussel, a higher level of DNA strand breaks was measured in gill than in hemolymph cells (p < 0.01). Despite a factor of contamination from 2 to 3 between sites, no difference in the extent of mussel DNA strand breaks was shown between sampling locations (p > 0.05), questioning the sensitivity of the assays used in biomonitoring studies.     

Ingestion rates and grazing impact of the brackwater mussel Brachidontes virgiliae in Lake St Lucia,iSimangaliso Wetland Park,South Africa

Bivalves feed on a combination of phytoplankton and zooplankton and have the potential to impact considerably the planktonic biomass, especially when they occur in high densities, such as in oyster and mussel beds. The brackwater mussel Brachidontes virgiliae is numerically dominant during wet phases within Africa’s largest estuarine lake, St Lucia, in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park on the east coast of South Africa. The ingestion rates and potential grazing impact of this small mussel (maximum shell length = 2.5 cm) were estimated for both the wet and dry seasons using an in situ gut fluorescence technique. Ingestion rates were higher during the wet season (5.78 µg pigment ind.^?1 d^?1) than during the dry season (4.44 µg pigment ind.^?1 d^?1). This might be explained by the increased water temperature and food availability during the wet season. Because of the patchy distribution of mussel populations, there could be higher localised grazing impact near mussel aggregations. Results showed a potential grazing impact of up to 20 times the available phytoplankton biomass at specific sites. These high grazing impacts have the potential to deplete phytoplankton stocks in the lake, especially during wet phases in the northern reaches, where mussel densities are highest. This needs to be factored into ecological models of Lake St Lucia, because the system might function differently during increased flood events.

THE EFFECT OF FOUR HEAVY METALS ON THE GROWTH RATE AND CHLOROPHYLL CONTENT OF Chaetoceros muelleri LEMMERMANN

Chaetoceros muelleri Lemmermann was cultured in solution of different concentrations of Cu2 , Pb2 , Zn2 and Cd2 , and in mixtures of any two of them. After 6 days the effect of these heavy metal cations on the growth rate and chlorophyll contents of the diatom were determined and an Opton microscope was used to observe the morphology and size of the cells.The experimental results show that the effects of toxicity of these four heavy metals on Chaetoceros muelleri are: Cu2 >Pb2 >Zn2 >Cd2 . However, the cells did not differ significantly in their morphology and size from the controled ones.In any of the mixed metals cultures, its growth rate came close to and was higher than that of the single metal culture of higher concentration.     

Biogenic and pollutant aliphatic hydrocarbons in Mytilus edulis from the North Sea

Capillary gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) have been used to examine the aliphatic hydrocarbon fraction of specimens of the mussel, Mytilus edulis, collected from the legs of a North Sea oil-production platform. In addition to an unresolved complex mixture (UCM) of fossil fuel pollutant hydrocarbons (ca. 64 μg g^?1 dry weight average), the fraction was dominated by large amounts (ca. 21 μgg^?1 dry weight) of C₃₁ and C₃₃n-alkenes with 2, 3 and 4 double bonds. These alkenes have also been identified in the ubiquitous marine alga, Emiliania huxleyi, and in some species of fish taken from the North Sea. The close correspondence in the composition data suggest that, in the mussel, these alkenes arise from a biogenic dietary source, most probably from Emiliania huxleyi. This contention is supported by the identification in the mussel of unusual C₃₇, C₃₈ and C₃₉ unsaturated straight-chain ketones which have recently been shown to be biosynthesised by Emiliania.     

Complexation of dimethylsulfide with mercuric ion in aqueous solutions

The tendency of dimethylsulfide (DMS) to form complexes with heavy metal ions in aqueous solutions and the factors that influence it have been investigated. Among five heavy metal ions examined (Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺, Zn²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Hg²⁺), only Hg²⁺ bound significantly with DMS in aqueous solutions in which Hg²⁺ concentration was increased to much higher levels than that of natural seawater. The complexation capacity of Hg²⁺ for DMS was influenced by pH and media. The affinity of Hg²⁺ for DMS was generally lower at high than at low pH, presumably due to the competition of hydroxide ion to form hydroxomercury species. In different solutions, the affinity of Hg²⁺ for DMS followed the following sequence: ultra-purified water > 35‰ NaCl solution > seawater. It seems apparent that chloride had a negative impact on the complexation of DMS by Hg²⁺, owing to the competition of chloride with DMS for complexing Hg²⁺. In addition, the affinity of Hg²⁺ for DMS in the bulk seawater appeared to be higher than that in the surface microlayer seawater. The tendency of Hg²⁺ to form complexes with DMS in aqueous solution can be reduced by the presence of 2 mM amino-acid such as glycine, alanine, serine and cysteine, as these ligands give stable mercury complexes. However, the presence of 2 mM acetate in experimental solutions had no significant effect on the complexation of Hg²⁺ with DMS, even though this ligand has a relatively strong complexing capacity for Hg²⁺. Although mercury ions appeared to have a strong affinity for DMS, the concentration of mercury in seawater is too low to produce a great effect on the distribution of DMS in oceans.     

Cadmium in Mytilus spp.: Worldwide survey and relationship between seawater and mussel content

A worldwide literature survey of data on cadmium concentration in the soft tissue of the mussel, Mytilus spp., from 591 stations is presented. These stations are from 13 regions. Geometric means for the regions vary from 0·6 to 3·3 μg g⁻¹ (dry weight) for the Barents Sea and the Northeastern Pacific coast, respectively.The averages of seven of these regions, for which reliable cadmium concentrations in seawater were available, were used to calculate a relationship between cadmium concentrations in seawater and mussel soft tissue. The relationship was highly significant: (Cd) mussel (μg g⁻¹, dry weight) = 0·074 (Cd) water (ng litre⁻¹) + 0·39 (P ≤ 0·0005).This model has been successfully applied in the context of the contamination of the Gironde estuary (France). It can also be used to define a water quality criterion for mussel maturing parks consistent with the quality criterion defined for shellfish for human consumption.
