RESUMO
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic (PAGE) technique was used to examine the esterase pattern of Ctenidia, Hepatopancreas, Hemolymph, Intestine, Mantle. Foot of the Lamellidens corrianus. The zymograms revealed the varied pattern of esterase both in number and type. This varied pattern suggested several roles for these enzymes present in different tissues.
RESUMO
Present paper deals with the physic-chemical parameters of Naspur lake, Manchiryal mandal, Aailabad district. The work was carried out during the period of Sep-2011 to Aug 2012.This lake was established for Irrigation, Drinking water and Fish culture purpose last two decades back. It was in the out of 7 km distance from Manchiryal town. Singareni coal mine employs are living in the Manchiryal town, day by day expanding of city population last two decades .In rainy season it’s receiving city sewage .industrial wastes, coalmine dust run off to the lake. This type of water injuries to the health of human other aquatic fauna. So there is an urgent requirement for its extent of pollution which will help us in further management of conservation. During the study period examine the physic-chemical parameters such as: atmosphere temperature, water temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, alkalinity, total hardness, TDS, Ca.Mg, chlorides, sulphates and phosphate, following stranded methods (APHA 1998). Now this lake is becoming eutrophic nature.
RESUMO
Effect of sub-lethal concentration of chromium was studied on the protein metabolism in adductor muscle, gill and mantle tissues of fresh water mussel, Lamellidens marginalis. Total proteins and RNA showed a decrease while free amino acids and protease activity showed an increase. Alanine and Aspartate aminotransferase activities showed an increase, while GDH activity showed a decrease. It may be suggested that the proteins are degraded and the amino acids are incorporated into TCA cycle to augment the energy needs of the organism due to chromium toxicity.
