ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 252:114596. [PMID: 36738609 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The benthic gastropods Bellamya aeruginosa (B. aeruginosa) is ubiquitous in freshwater in China and neighboring countries with great edible value. It has been recognized as a potential manipulator to control harmful algal blooms due to its filtration on algal cells. In this study, the control effect of B. aeruginosa on toxic and non-toxic Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa), and the accumulation and depuration of microcystins (MCs) in the snail were systematically explored. Results indicated that although toxic M. aeruginosa could protect itself via producing MCs, the introduction of B. aeruginosa could still effectively inhibit the algae with cell density below 1 × 106 cells/mL. Hepatopancreas was the primary target of MCs in all tissues of B. aeruginosa, presenting a maximum of 3089.60 ng/g DW when exposed to toxic M. aeruginosa of 1.0 × 107 cells/mL. The enrichment of MCs in other tissues following the order of digestive tract > gonad > mantle > muscle. Interestingly, snail could again excrete previously enriched MCs when transferred to non-toxic M. aeruginosa, giving rise to over 80% reduction of MCs in the body. After depuration, the estimated daily intake (EDI) of free MCs in intact individuals and the edible parts of B. aeruginosa were both lower than the tolerable daily intake (TDI). These results implicated that B. aeruginosa could control low density of M. aeruginosa in spring. Particularly, the snail could be perfectly safe to consume by purifying for a while after using as manipulator.

Abstract
Frequent outbreaks of harmful cyanobacterial blooms and the cyanotoxins they produce not only seriously jeopardize the health of freshwater ecosystems but also directly affect the survival of aquatic organisms. In this study, the dynamic characteristics and response patterns of transcriptomes and gut microbiomes in gastropod Bellamya aeruginosa were investigated to explore the underlying response mechanisms to toxic cyanobacterial exposure. The results showed that toxic cyanobacteria exposure induced overall hepatopancreatic transcriptome changes. A total of 2128 differentially expressed genes were identified at different exposure stages, which were mainly related to antioxidation, immunity, and metabolism of energy substances. In the early phase (the first 7 days of exposure), the immune system may notably be the primary means of resistance to toxin stress, and it performs apoptosis to kill damaged cells. In the later phase (the last 7 days of exposure), oxidative stress and the degradation activities of exogenous substances play a dominant role, and nutrient substance metabolism provides energy to the body throughout the process. Microbiomic analysis showed that toxic cyanobacteria increased the diversity of gut microbiota, enhanced interactions between gut microbiota, and altered microbiota function. In addition, the changes in gut microbiota were correlated with the expression levels of antioxidant-, immune-, metabolic-related differentially expressed genes. These results provide a comprehensive understanding of gastropods and intestinal microbiota response to toxic cyanobacterial stress.

Abstract
Accurate assessment of life history and population ecology of widespread species in ultra-eutrophic freshwater lakes is a prerequisite for understanding the mechanisms by which widespread species respond to eutrophication. Freshwater pulmonate (Radix swinhoei) is widespread and abundant in many eutrophic water bodies in Asia. Despite its key roles in eutrophic lake systems, the information on life history and population ecology of R. swinhoei is lacking, especially in ultra-eutrophic freshwater plateau lakes. Here, we conducted a 1-year survey of R. swinhoei with monthly collections to measure the life history traits (life span and growth), annual secondary production, and population size structure of R. swinhoei in nearshore regions with a high seasonally variation of nutrients in Lake Dianchi, a typic hypereutrophic plateau lake in Southwest China. Our results showed that R. swinhoei had the highest biomass in autumn and had the lowest in winter. Its maximum potential life span was 2.5 years, with three recruitment periods (November, March, and July) within a year. Its annual secondary production and P/B ratio were 137.19 g WW/m2 and 16.05, respectively. Redundancy analysis showed that eutrophication-related environmental factors had weak correlations with population size structure of R. swinhoei. Our results suggested that R. swinhoei is a typical r-strategist with high secondary production and thrive in eutrophic environment. Our study can help better understand the mechanisms for widespread species to survive eutrophication and could also be relevant for biodiversity conservation and management of eutrophic ecosystems.

Abstract
Environment-friendly algaecides based on allelopathy have been widely used to control harmful algal blooms. In this research, micro and nano scale artemisinin sustained-release algal inhibitor was prepared, the optimal preparation conditions were explored, and the inhibitory mechanism of artemisinin algaecides was turned perfect. The results showed that when the particle size of artemisinin sustained-release microspheres (ASMs) was 2/10,000 of artemisinin sustained-release granules (ASGs), the inhibitory effect was more remarkable. The optimal concentration of ASMs was 0.2 g L-1, and the inhibitory effect reached 99% on the 10th day. The algal density and chlorophyll a both showed a downward trend, indicating that ASGs and ASMs could promote the degradation of chlorophyll a. The inhibition rate of ASGs was faster than that of ASMs on the 4th day, and the inhibitory effect of ASMs was more significant after the 5th day. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) increased rapidly at first and then decreased, which indicated that ASGs and ASMs caused oxidative damage to Microcystis aeruginosa and inhibited the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Furthermore, the content of the oxygen free radical (O2-) and malondialdehyde (MDA) continued to rise after the 5th day, and the protein, nucleic acid, and conductivity in the culture medium increased. These results showed that lipid peroxidation occurred in the algal cell membrane, and the permeability of the membrane increased. In summary, the ASMs had a significant sustained inhibitory effect while the ASGs had a better short-term effect. The main inhibitory mechanism of artemisinin algaecides is the irreversible damage of cell membrane.

Abstract
AbstractClimate change is increasing water temperature and intensifying the incidence of cyanobacterial blooms worldwide. However, the combined effects of increased temperature and microcystin concentrations as co-stressors on survival and ecological processes in freshwater species are unclear. Here, using purified MC-LR and crude extract of toxigenic Microcystis aeruginosa, we tested the individual and combined effects of three water temperatures (15, 20, 25 °C) and a range of environmentally relevant concentrations of dissolved microcystin and crude extract (0.01–10 µg·L−1) on survival, growth inhibition, grazing and predation rates in three freshwater species: phytoplankton (Scenedesmus quadricauda), zooplankton (Daphnia pulex), and an invertebrate predator (Ischnura elegans). Purified MC-LR exerted a higher growth inhibitory effect on S. quadricauda compared to crude extract with the same concentration of MC-LR, while neither treatment affected its chlorophyll-a content or survival of D. pulex. Crude extract reduced grazing and survival of D. pulex and I. elegans, respectively. The combined effect of higher temperature and crude extract reduced I. elegans survival by 50%. Increased temperature reduced prey handing time in I. elegans by 49%, suggesting a higher predation rate. However, warming together with higher concentrations of crude extract jointly increased zooplankton grazing and reduced damselfly predation. Taken together, these results suggest crude extract, and not necessarily microcystin, can affect survival and productivity in freshwater species, although these effects may vary unevenly across trophic levels. Our findings highlight the importance of complex ecological mechanisms by which warming can exacerbate toxic effects of cyanobacterial bloom extracts on survival and functions among species in eutrophic freshwaters.

Abstract
Freshwater gastropods are widely distributed and play an important role in aquatic ecosystems. Symbiotic microorganisms represented by gut microbes can affect the physiological and biochemical activities of their hosts. However, few studies have investigated the response of the gut microbial community of snails to environmental stress. In this study, the dynamics of the gut microbiota of the gastropod Bellamya aeruginosa were tracked to explore their responses in terms of their composition and function to cyanobacterial bloom. Differences in gut microbial community structures during periods of non-cyanobacterial bloom and cyanobacterial bloom were determined. Results showed that the alpha diversity of the gut microbiota exposed to cyanobacterial bloom was lower than that of the gut microbiota exposed to non-cyanobacterial bloom. The main genera differentiating the two periods were Faecalibacterium, Subdoligranulum, Ralstonia, and Pelomonas. Microcystins (MCs) and water temperature (WT) were the primary factors influencing the gut microbial community of B. aeruginosa; between them, the influence of MCs was greater than that of WT. Fourteen pathways (level 2) were notably different between the two periods. The pathways of carbohydrate metabolism, immune system, environmental adaptation, and xenobiotics biodegradation and metabolism in these differential pathways exhibited a strong linear regression relationship with MCs and WT. Changes in the functions of the gut microbiota may help B. aeruginosa meet its immunity and energy needs during cyanobacterial bloom stress. These results provide key information for understanding the response pattern of freshwater snail intestinal flora to cyanobacterial blooms and reveal the underlying environmental adaptation mechanism of gastropods from the perspective of intestinal flora.

Abstract
The accumulation of diminutive plastic waste in the environment, including microplastics and nanoplastics, has threatened the health of multiple species. Nanoplastics can adsorb the pollutants from the immediate environment, and may be used as carriers for pollutants to enter organisms and bring serious ecological risk. To evaluate the toxic effects of microcystin-LR (MCLR) on the liver of adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) in the presence of 70 nm polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs), zebrafish were exposed to MCLR alone (0, 0.9, 4.5 and 22.5 μg/L) and a mixture of MCLR + PSNPs (100 μg/L) for three months. The results indicated that groups with combined exposure to MCLR and PSNPs further enhanced the accumulation of MCLR in the liver when compared to groups only exposed to MCLR. Cellular swelling, fat vacuolation, and cytoarchitectonic damage were observed in zebrafish livers after exposure to MCLR, and the presence of PSNPs exacerbated these adverse effects. The results of biochemical tests showed the combined effect of MCLR + PSNPs enhanced MCLR-induced hepatotoxicity, which could be attributed to the altered levels of reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde and glutathione, and activities of catalase. The expression of genes related to antioxidant responses (p38a, p38b, ERK2, ERK3, Nrf2, HO-1, cat1, sod1, gax, JINK1, and gstr1) was further performed to study the mechanisms of MCLR combined with PSNPs aggravated oxidative stress of zebrafish. The results showed that PSNPs could improve the bioavailability of MCLR in the zebrafish liver by acting as a carrier and accelerate MCLR-induced oxidative stress by regulating the levels of corresponding enzymes and genes.

Abstract
Microcystins (MCs) are the most common cyanotoxins with more than 200 variants. Among these cyanotoxins, microcystin-LR (MC-LR) and microcystin-RR (MC-RR) are the most studied congeners due to their high toxicity and frequent occurrence in surface waters. MC-LR has been detected in more than 75% of natural cyanobacteria bloom, along with other toxic and less toxic congeners. Accumulation of several microcystins variants (MC-LR and MC-RR) has been confirmed in aquatic snails exposed naturally or in the laboratory to toxic blooms. Thus, this paper aims to compare the biochemical and histological impact of both toxic variants (microcystin-LR and microcystin-RR) and their mixed form on a bioindicator, the land snail Helix aspersa. During experiments, snails were gavaged with a single acute dose (0.5 μg/g) of purified MC-LR, MC-RR, or mixed MC-LR + MC-RR (0.25 + 0.25 μg/g). After 96 h of exposure, effects on the hepatopancreas, kidney, intestine and lungs were assessed by histological observations and analysis of oxidative stress biomarkers. The results show that a small dose of MCs variants can increase the non-enzymatic antioxidant glutathione (GSH), inhibit glutathione-s-transferase (GST) level and trigger a defense system by activating glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Microcystin-RR causes serious anomalies in the hepatopancreas and kidney than Microcystin-LR. The organ most affected is the kidney. The damage caused by MC-LR + MC-RR is greater than that caused by single variants.

Abstract
Artemisinin sustained-release microspheres (ASMs) with long-term inhibition effects (> 40 days) on harmful freshwater bloom-forming cyanobacteria have been found in previous studies, but the inhibition mechanism is not completely clear. In the present study, we examined the growth effect of ASMs on Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) cells at different physiological stages. Growth experiments indicated that M. aeruginosa of different initial densities could be inhibited immediately and chlorophyll-a content both showed significant decreases following exposure of cyanobacteria to optimal dosage of ASMs for 20 days. The algicidal mechanism of ASMs was tested through a suite of physiological parameters (membrane permeability, antioxidant enzymes activity, and lipid peroxidation). The rise of cell membrane permeability indices (intracellular protein, nucleic acid contents, and conductivity) showed that the cellular membrane structure of M. aeruginosa was attacked by ASMs directly causing the leakage of cytoplasm. Antioxidant enzyme activity was a sensitive indicator of the impacts of ASMs which showed a significant downtrend after a few days. ASMs caused a great increase in •O2- and malondialdehyde (MDA) level of the algal cells which indicated the increase in lipid peroxidation of M. aeruginosa. Irreversible membrane damage induced by ASMs via the oxidation of ROS may be an important factor responsible for the algicidal mechanism of ASMs on M. aeruginosa cells. The application of ASMs might provide a new direction to control M. aeruginosa, especially before the exponential phase according to the optimal economy and inhibition effect. Graphical abstract.

In this study, we test the hypothesis that Drosophila larvae producing mildly elevated levels of endogenous mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) benefit in stressful environmental conditions due to the priming of antioxidant responses. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced as a by-product of oxidative phosphorylation and may be elevated when mutations decrease the efficiency of ATP production. In moderation, ROS are necessary for cell signaling and organismal health, but in excess can damage DNA, proteins, and lipids. We utilize two Drosophila melanogaster strains (Dahomey and Alstonville) that share the same nuclear genetic background but differ in their mitochondrial DNA haplotypes. Previously, we reported that Dahomey larvae harboring the V161L ND4 mtDNA mutation have reduced proton pumping and higher levels of mitochondrial ROS than Alstonville larvae when they are fed a 1:2 protein: carbohydrate (P:C) diet. Here, we explore the potential for mitochondrial ROS to provide resistance to dietary stressors by feeding larvae 1:2 P:C food supplemented with ethanol or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). When fed a diet supplemented with ethanol or H2O2, Dahomey develop more quickly than Alstonville into larger pupae, while Alstonville developed faster on the control. Dahomey larvae displayed higher antioxidant capacity than Alstonville on all diets, with mitochondrial H2O2 levels unchanged after the addition of stressors. Addition of stressors to the diet did not affect the mitochondrial functions of Dahomey larvae as measured by mitochondrial membrane potential, respiratory control ratio, or larval survival after bacterial challenge. In contrast, Alstonville larvae developed slower, had lower pupal weight, higher cytosolic H2O2, and had reduced mitochondrial functions. Further, Alstonville larvae fed the ethanol treated diet had lower survival after bacterial infection than those fed the control diet. Surprisingly, they had greater survival when fed diet with H2O2 indicating a mitotype by stressor interaction that influences the immune response. Overall, these data suggest that elevated mitochondrial ROS in Dahomey can result in greater antioxidant capacity that prevents oxidative damage from exogenous stressors and may be a conserved response to high ethanol found in rotting fruit.

How the Neurotoxin β- N-Methylamino-l-Alanine Accumulates in Bivalves: Distribution of the Different Accumulation Fractions among Organs. Toxins (Basel) 2020; 12:toxins12020061. [PMID: 31972955 PMCID: PMC7076761 DOI: 10.3390/toxins12020061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2019] [Revised: 12/30/2019] [Accepted: 01/14/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The environmental neurotoxin β-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) may represent a risk for human health. BMAA accumulates in freshwater and marine organisms consumed by humans. However, few data are available about the kinetics of BMAA accumulation and detoxification in exposed organisms, as well as the organ distribution and the fractions in which BMAA is present in tissues (free, soluble bound or precipitated bound cellular fractions). Here, we exposed the bivalve mussel Dreissena polymorpha to 7.5 µg of dissolved BMAA/mussel/3 days for 21 days, followed by 21 days of depuration in clear water. At 1, 3, 8, 14 and 21 days of exposure and depuration, the hemolymph and organs (digestive gland, the gills, the mantle, the gonad and muscles/foot) were sampled. Total BMAA as well as free BMAA, soluble bound and precipitated bound BMAA were quantified by tandem mass spectrometry. Free and soluble bound BMAA spread throughout all tissues from the first day of exposure to the last day of depuration, without a specific target organ. However, precipitated bound BMAA was detected only in muscles and foot from the last day of exposure to day 8 of depuration, at a lower concentration compared to free and soluble bound BMAA. In soft tissues (digestive gland, gonad, gills, mantle and muscles/foot), BMAA mostly accumulated as a free molecule and in the soluble bound fraction, with variations occurring between the two fractions among tissues and over time. The results suggest that the assessment of bivalve contamination by BMAA may require the quantification of total BMAA in whole individuals when possible.

Abstract
The rare earth elements are widely used in agricultural and light industry development. They promote the growth of crop seedlings, enhance root development and change the metal properties. Due to the large amount of rare earth minerals mined in China, rare earth elements have been detected in both coastal and estuary areas. They cause pollution and threaten the health of aquatic organisms and human beings. This study investigates the effects of lanthanum on two marine bait algae, and analyzes the changes in the photosynthetic and antioxidant systems of the two algae. The results show that rare earth elements have significant inhibitory effects upon the two algae. The OJIP kinetic curve value decreases with an increasing concentration of La(NO3)3 ·6H2O. The parameters of the fluorescence value were analyzed. The ABS/RC increases and the DI0/RC decreases during the first 24 h after exposure. The effects on the photosynthetic and antioxidant systems at low concentrations (both EC10 and EC20) show that the TR0/ABS increases, and the ET0/RC, ABS/RC, and DI0/RC has a decreasing trend after 30 min. However, after 24 h, normal levels were restored. In addition, the study finds that the TR0/ABS increases after 24 h, leading to an increase in reactive oxygen species. The antioxidant system analysis also confirms the increase in the activities of antioxidant enzymes, such as SOD and GSH. The experiment is expected to support the marine pollution of rare earths and the theoretical data of the impact on marine primary producers.

Abstract
Environment-friendly algaecides based on allelopathy have been extensively studied to control harmful algal blooms (HABs). The inhibitory effects of linoleic acid (LA) sustained-release microspheres on different cell densities of Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) at different growth phases were studied. The results showed that the growth of M. aeruginosa could be inhibited within 4 days and the constant inhibitory rate with initial algal density of 8 × 105 cells∙mL-1 (exponential phase) was up to 96% compared with control. The chlorophyll-a content in the treatment group had the same change trend with the algal density and declined significantly at day 20th, which suggested that the microspheres could promote the degradation of chlorophyll-a. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) increased gradually within 5 days but then declined sharply, which indicated that LA microspheres could cause oxidative damage to M. aeruginosa during the process of inhibition and reduce the activities of antioxidant enzymes. In addition, the concentration of oxygen free radical (O2-) increased at day 10th and rose constantly, and the content of malodialdehyde (MDA) increased to 2.7 times as much as control at day 20th. Furthermore, the content of protein, nucleic acid and the conductivity in culture solution showed a significant rise. These results showed that algal cell membrane lipid peroxidation occurred and the membrane permeability increased, accompanied by the damage of cell membrane. To sum up, the destruction of algal cell membrane is the main mechanism of LA microspheres inhibiting algal growth.

Abstract
The presence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) can cause significant problems to the quality of the water, the marine ecosystems, and the human health, and economy worldwide. Biological remediation can inhibit harmful algal growth efficiently in an environmental-friendly manner. Therefore, the research conducted on biological remediation with regard to the inhibition of HABs is becoming a major focus in marine ecology. To date, no study has been reported with regard to the red tides occurring in mangrove wetlands. Therefore, the present study used two mangrove species, namely Bruguiera gymnorrhiza and Kandelia candel and one harmful algae species Phaeocystis globosa as experimental organisms. The present study determined the inhibitory effects and algae physiology of specific aqueous extracts from mangrove leaves on the viability of harmful algae, and analyzed the main chemical composition of the aqueous extracts by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS). The results indicated that the aqueous extracts from different leaf ages of B. gymnorrhiza and K. candel leaves exhibited apparent inhibitory effects on the growth of P. globosa. The inhibitory effects of B. gymnorrhiza and K. candel leaves aqueous extracts on the growth of P. globosa were in the following order: senescent > mature > young leaves. The levels of the parameters superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA)content in P. globosa following treatment with B. gymnorrhiza and K. candel leaves aqueous extracts were increased as follows: senescent > mature > young leaves. Simultaneously, the intensity of the ion peaks of the specific secondary metabolites assigned 4 (No.: 4 Rt: 2.83 min), 7 (No.: 7 Rt: 3.14 min), 8 (No.: 8 Rt: 3.24 min), 9 (No.: 9 Rt: 3.82min) and 10 (No.: 10 Rt: 4.10 min) were increased. These metabolites were found in the aqueous extracts from B. gymnorrhiza leaves. The intensities of the ion peaks of the secondary metabolites 7, 8 in the aqueous extracts from the K. candel leaves were also increased. The majority of the substances that inhibited the algae found in the mangrove plants were secondary metabolites. Therefore, we considered that the norsesquiterpenes compounds 4, 8, 9, and 10 and a phenolic glycoside compound 7 were the active constituents in the aqueous extracts of the mangrove leaves responsible for the inhibition of algae growth. This evidence provided theoretical guidance for the development of biological methods to control red tides and for the further use of substances with antiproliferative activity against algae.

Abstract
Northern ecosystems are experiencing some of the most dramatic impacts of global change on Earth. Rising temperatures, hydrological intensification, changes in atmospheric acid deposition and associated acidification recovery, and changes in vegetative cover are resulting in fundamental changes in terrestrial-aquatic biogeochemical linkages. The effects of global change are readily observed in alterations in the supply of dissolved organic matter (DOM)-the messenger between terrestrial and lake ecosystems-with potentially profound effects on the structure and function of lakes. Northern terrestrial ecosystems contain substantial stores of organic matter and filter or funnel DOM, affecting the timing and magnitude of DOM delivery to surface waters. This terrestrial DOM is processed in streams, rivers, and lakes, ultimately shifting its composition, stoichiometry, and bioavailability. Here, we explore the potential consequences of these global change-driven effects for lake food webs at northern latitudes. Notably, we provide evidence that increased allochthonous DOM supply to lakes is overwhelming increased autochthonous DOM supply that potentially results from earlier ice-out and a longer growing season. Furthermore, we assess the potential implications of this shift for the nutritional quality of autotrophs in terms of their stoichiometry, fatty acid composition, toxin production, and methylmercury concentration, and therefore, contaminant transfer through the food web. We conclude that global change in northern regions leads not only to reduced primary productivity but also to nutritionally poorer lake food webs, with discernible consequences for the trophic web to fish and humans.

Abstract
The acute toxicity of Cd was tested, and metal bioaccumulation in tissue was determined for the alien invasive species Pomacea canaliculata and its native competitor Sinotaia quadrata under experimental conditions. The invasive species was more tolerant to Cd toxicity than native species, for which the LC50 values were 4.26, 2.24, and 1.98 mg/L at exposure times of 48, 72, and 96 h, respectively, approximately three times higher than those of the native snails. The viscera accumulated the highest Cd concentration, followed by the foot and shell in both species. Metal concentrations in the above three tissues of P. canaliculata were much higher than those of S. quadrata, irrespective of Cd dose and exposure time. For P. canaliculata, the highest concentration of metal was further observed in the hepatopancreas (0.64-3.98 mg/g) followed by the kidney (0.067-3.78 mg/g), with lowest levels in the stomach (0.062-1.53 mg/g). Among the five antioxidant enzymes, the most responsive enzymes were CAT, ALP, and GST in the hepatopancreas; CAT, POD, and GST in the kidney; and POD in the stomach of exposed animals. These results, demonstrating a high Cd tolerance, may partly explain the ability of P. canaliculata to displace S. quadrata in Cd-contaminated habitat. The Cd was accumulated mainly in the hepatopancreas and kidney of invasive species, which changed the activity of antioxidant enzymes allowing the animals to cope with the toxicity.

Abstract
Microcystins (MCs) are a major group of potent cyanobacterial toxins found in freshwater and even brackish waterbodies. To understand the putative correlation between bioconcentration of MCs and antioxidant responses of the digestive gland of bivalves, Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas and blue mussel Mytilus edulis were exposed to different concentrations (0.1, 1, 10 and 20μgL-1) of MC-Leucine-Arginine (LR) for seven days. MC-LR bioconcentrated in the digestive glands of both bivalves during exposure period. The levels were slightly reduced when the bivalves were exposed to seawater during depuration (7days), while approximately 0.1μgL-1 of MC-LR was observed in the 10 and 20μgL-1 exposed bivalves at the end of depuration. Intracellular malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels were significantly elevated in the 10 and 20μgL-1 exposed bivalves at 7day, and the levels were maintained during depuration in both bivalves. Overall, significant higher levels of enzymatic activities of antioxidant defense systems such as glutathione S-transferase (GST), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) were observed in the 10 and 20μgL-1 exposed bivalves. Interestingly, most of higher levels of Pacific oyster were detected at exposure period, while blue mussel showed higher levels at depuration phase, suggesting a species-specific sensitivity upon MC-LR. These patterns were correlated with the bioconcentration patterns of MC-LR as Pacific oyster was highly accumulated by MC-LR during exposure period, but blue mussel showed prolonged high levels of MC-LR for depuration phase. Our results will be useful to understand species-specific bioconcentration of MC-LR in bivalves and their effects on intracellular oxidative status via accumulation.

Abstract
Freshwater gastropods are increasingly exposed to multiple stressors in the field such as the herbicide glyphosate in Roundup formulations and cyanobacterial blooms either producing or not producing microcystins (MCs), potentially leading to interacting effects. Here, the responses of Lymnaea stagnalis to a 21-day exposure to non-MC or MC-producing (33μgL(-1)) Planktothrix agardhii alone or in combination with the commercial formulation RoundUp(®) Flash at a concentration of 1μgL(-1) glyphosate, followed by 14days of depuration, were studied via i) accumulation of free and bound MCs in tissues, and ii) activities of anti-oxidant (catalase CAT) and biotransformation (glutathione-S-transferase GST) enzymes. During the intoxication, the cyanobacterial exposure induced an early increase of CAT activity, independently of the MC content, probably related to the production of secondary cyanobacterial metabolites. The GST activity was induced by RoundUp(®) Flash alone or in combination with non MC-producing cyanobacteria, but was inhibited by MC-producing cyanobacteria with or without RoundUp(®) Flash. Moreover, MC accumulation in L. stagnalis was 3.2 times increased when snails were concomitantly exposed to MC-producing cyanobacteria with RoundUp(®), suggesting interacting effects of MCs on biotransformation processes. The potent inhibition of detoxication systems by MCs and RoundUp(®) Flash was reversible during the depuration, during which CAT and GST activities were significantly higher in snails previously exposed to MC-producing cyanobacteria with or without RoundUp(®) Flash than in other conditions, probably related to the oxidative stress caused by accumulated MCs remaining in tissues.
