Oxidative stress and genotoxicity of nitenpyram to earthworms (Eisenia foetida)

Chemosphere, 2021
In this study, the artificial soil poisoning method was used to explore the antioxidative stress mechanism and gene changes of earthworms (Eisenia foetida) after application of nitenpyram. The toxic effects of nitenpyram on earthworms were combined with the method called the second-generation integrated biomarker response index method (IBRv2) to be ...

Nitrite Oxidation in Eisenia foetida (Savigny): Ecological Implications

Functional Ecology, 1991
Earthworms, Eisenia foetida (Savigny), were maintained for 48 h in a nitrite-enriched artificial soil. Evidence suggests that animal cata- lase plays an important role in limiting the bio- accumulation of this toxicant (a widespread compound in the natural habitat of Eisenia). Nitrite oxidation is regarded as a biochemical mechanism: (1) coadapted with

Aberrent regeneration in carcinogen‐treated earthworms (Eisenia foetida)

Journal of Experimental Zoology, 1974
AbstractGroups of earthworms (Eisenia foetida) were injected either with 1% methyleholanthrene (MCA), 0.5% 7–12, Dimethylbenz (a) anthracene (DMBA) or 3 × 10−4 mg of N‐methyl‐N‐nitrosoguanadine (NMNG), After one week, the posterior ten segments were removed from all worms.

Cellular expression of the cytolytic factor in earthworms Eisenia foetida

Immunology Letters, 1998
Coelomic fluid of earthworms contains a 42 kDa protein designated CCF-1 (coelomic cytolytic factor 1), which accounts for approximately 40% of cytolytic activity of the entire coelomic fluid. CCF-1 was documented to be present on cells of the mesenchymal lining of the coelomic cavity as well as on free coelomocytes.

Ecotoxicity Monitoring of Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Soil using Earthworm (Eisenia foetida)

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2001
In order to assess the applicability of an earthworm bioassay as a technique for monitoring the soil flushing process, short-term and long-term toxicity tests were conducted on remediated soil using various pore volumes of surfactant solution. Results obtained on short-term toxicity testing indicated that biomass increased as the soil flushing ...

A novel gut tetradecapeptide isolated from the earthworm, Eisenia foetida

Peptides, 1995
A novel bioactive tetradecapeptide, GFKDGAADRISHGFamide, was isolated from the gut of the oligochaete annelid, Eisenia foetida, using the isolated anterior gut (crop-gizzard) as a bioassay system. A highly homologous peptide, GFRDGSADRISHGFamide, was also purified from the whole body of another species of earthworm, Pheretima vittata.

[Lipid and fatty acid composition of Eisenia foetida].

Ukrainskii biokhimicheskii zhurnal (1978), 1991
It is found out that the content of lipids in the biomass of the studied populations of Eisenia foetida is rather high: 2.5-5.2% of the wet mass. The content of phospholipids is 40-55%, C27-sterols--1.5-3.4% of the mass of coarse extracts of lipids. Lipids of tissues contain also 47-54% of saturated (C10-C24) fatty acids as well as to 23% of monoene ...

Bioaccumulation of hexachlorobenzene in Eisenia foetida at different aging stages

Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2009
The impacts of contact time on the extractability, the availability of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in different soils (paddy soil, red soil, and fluvo-aquic soil) and bioaccumulation in earthworm Eisenia foetida were investigated under controlled conditions in laboratory.
