Effect Of Detergent (Tide) on Glycogen Alteration in Freshwater Gastropod Bellamya Bengalensis (Lamarck)

P. Raghava Kumari

Abstract :

In the present study has been an attempt has been made to study the effect of detergent (Tide) on glycogen content of different tissues like foot, mantle and digestive gland of a freshwater gastropod Bellamya bengaensis (Lamarcka). The snails were exposed to sub lethal concentration of detergent for 96 hours. The significant decrease in glycogen content was observed in all tissues as compared to control. The maximum decrease was observed in digestive gland followed by mantle and foot. The disturbance in the glycogen profile is one of the outstanding biochemical lesions due to the action of detergent (Tide). The significance of these studies is bio indicator for assessing the toxicity.
