| Abstract | Subcellular fractions (mitochondrial, cytosolic and microsomal) prepared from the tissues (hepatopancreas, muscle and gill) of freshwater prawns Macrobrachium malcolmsonii and Macrobrachium lamarrei lamarrei were scrutinized to investigate the presence of mixed function oxygenase (MFO) and conjugating enzymes (glutathione-S-transferase, GST). Cytochrome P450 (CYP) and other components (cytochrome b5; NADPH-cytochrome c (CYP) reductase and NADH-cytochrome c-reductase activities) of the MFO system were predominantly present in the hepatic microsomal fraction of M. malcolmsonii and M. lamarrei lamarrei. The results are in agreement with the notion that monooxygenase system is mainly membrane bound in the endoplasmic reticulum, and that the hepatopancreas is the major metabolic tissue for production of biotransformation enzymes in crustaceans. Further, the prawns were exposed to two sublethal (0.9 ppt (parts per thousand) and 2.3 ppt) concentrations of oil effluent. At the end of 30th day, hydrocarbons and detoxifying enzymes were analysed in the hepatopancreas. The accumulations of hydrocarbon in the tissues gradually increased when exposed to sublethal concentrations of oil effluent and were associated with significantly enhanced levels of cytochrome P450 (180.6±6.34 pmol mg−1 protein (P<0.05 versus control, 136.5±7.1 pmol mg−1 protein) for 2.3 ppt and 305.6±8.5 pmol mg−1 protein (P<0.001 versus control, 132.3±6.8 pmol mg−1 protein] for 0.9 ppt of oil exposed M. malcolmsonii; 150±6.5 pmol mg−1 protein (P<0.01 versus control, 84.6±5.2 pmol mg−1 protein) for 2.3 ppt and 175±5.5 pmol mg−1 protein (P<0.01 versus control, 87.6±5.4 pmol mg−1 protein) for 0.9 ppt of oil exposed M. lamarrei lamarrei), NADPH cytochrome c-reductase activity (14.7±0.6 nmol min−1 mg−1 protein (P<0.05 versus control, 6.8±0.55 nmol min−1 mg−1 protein) for 2.3 ppt and 12.1±0.45 nmol min−1 mg−1 protein (P<0.01 versus control, 6.9±0.42 nmol min−1 mg−1 protein) for 0.9 ppt of oil exposed M. malcolmsonii; 12.5±0.31 nmol min−1 mg−1 protein (P<0.001 versus control, 4.6±0.45 nmol min−1 mg−1 protein) for 2.3 ppt and 9.6±0.32 nmol min−1 mg−1 protein (P<0.01 versus control, 4.9±0.41 nmol min−1 mg−1 protein) for 0.9 ppt of oil exposed M. lamarrei lamarrei) and cytochrome b5 (124.8±3.73 pmol mg−1 protein (P<0.01 versus control, 76.8±4.2 pmol mg−1 protein) for 2.3 ppt and 115.3±3.86 pmol mg−1 protein (P<0.01 versus control, 76.4±4.25 pmol mg−1 protein) for 0.9 ppt of oil exposed M. malcolmsonii and 110±3.11 pmol mg−1 protein (P<0.01 versus control, 63.7±3.24 pmol mg−1 protein) for 2.3 ppt and 95.3±2.63 pmol mg−1 protein (P<0.01 versus control, 61.4±2.82 pmol mg−1 protein) for 0.9 ppt of oil exposed M. lamarrei lamarrei). The enhanced levels of biotransformation enzymes in oil-exposed prawns demonstrate a well-established detoxifying mechanism in crustaceans, and the response offers the possibility of use as a biomarker for the early detection of oil pollution. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
