COMBINED IMPACT OF CHLORELLA VULGARIS AND SPIRULINA PLATENSIS ON COPPER METAL CAUSED VARIATIONS OF PHOSPHOGLUCOMUTASE ENZYME

Dr. Avinash R. Nichat

Abstract

The variations in the above said phosphoglucomutase enzyme subjected to sub-lethal copper concentration in presence of Chlorella vulgaris and Spirulina platensis less fall in various brain regions than the one exposed directly to sub- lethal concentration of copper .The combined influence of Chlorella vulgaris and Spirulina platensis on sub-lethal concentration of copper metal caused enzymatic variations phosphoglucomutase in different brain regions [cerebrum, diencephalons, cerebellum & medulla oblongata] of fresh water teleosts i.e. Labeo rohita (Ham.), Clarias batrachus (Linn.) and Channa punctatus (Bloch.) on a comparative basis from a tropical environment under short term exposure. Aquatic autotrophs can be used to remove heavy metals from aquatic system over a wide range of pH. Such
events might have taken place even in the present investigation and the less fall in phosphoglucomutase in different brain regions of Labeo rohita, Clarias batrachus & Channa punctatus might be ascribed to a less degree in microbe presence than direct exposure to heavy metals. The autotrophs Chlorella vulgaris and Spirulina platensis have the detoxification ability and the present change of enzyme levels in different brain regions of three fish species.
