Biochemical assessment of the effect of the antibiotic erythromycin on the river snail (Viviparus viviparus L.)

The activity of the complex of acid deoxyribonucleases (DNases) and ribonucleases (RNases) of the hepatopancreas of the river snail ( Viviparus viviparus L.) was studied under normal conditions and under acute exposure to erythromycin.

Description
Summary:The activity of the complex of acid deoxyribonucleases (DNases) and ribonucleases (RNases) of the hepatopancreas of the river snail ( Viviparus viviparus L.) was studied under normal conditions and under acute exposure to erythromycin. An increase in the activity of acidic DNases has been established, while the nature of the change in RNase activity is less significant. Based on the experimental data obtained, a significant effect of erythromycin on the river snail ( Viviparus viviparus L.), manifested at the biochemical level, was established. The possibility of using changes in the activity of hepatopancreas nucleases of the common river snail as markers of pollution of aquatic ecosystems has been demonstrated.
