EFFECT OF METALLOTHIONEIN LEVELS IN Gammarus pulex EXPOSED TO COPPER AND COPPEROXIDE NANOPARTICLES

Işıl Canan ÇİÇEK ÇİMEN1 , Osman SERDAR2

With the increase in the use of products containing nanoparticles (NP) (<100nm), the food chain including aquatic systems and organisms is at risk due to the effect of NPs released as a result of anthropogenic activities. In this study, metallothionine (MT) biomarker responses were determined by exposing Gammarus pulex, an indicator species living in freshwaters, to metal-based copper (Cu) and copper oxide (CuO) NPs. In the experiment, 4 groups (Control, 10ppm, 20ppm, 40ppm) were formed and studied with three replications. It was determined that the Cu-NP application samples caused an increase (p<0.05) in MT levels compared to the control at the 24th and 96th hours samples. It was determined that CuO applied samples caused increases in MT levels compared to the control group (p<0.05), but this increase in 96-hour samples was lower than the increase at the 24th hour samples. As a result of the study, it is predicted that Cu and CuO NPs cause an increase in MT levels in the organism, and this increase may cause oxidative stress.
