Abstract

<p>The paper reflects analyzes of <em>Cd</em> impact on the total activity (nM pyruvic acid/ml s) of aspartate aminotransferase<em> </em>(AST, EC 2.6.1.1) nitrogen metabolism in <em>Glechoma hederacea</em> L. leaves subject (as model) which dominated in the research area (in natural floodplain oak with <em>Stellaria holostea</em> L.) in conditions of <em>Cd</em> pollution (as anthropogenic press) and digging activity by Mammalia (as biotic action, with <em>Talpa europaea </em>L., European mole, as model),) and their combine action. The <em>Cd </em>was introduced in the form of salts <em>Cd(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub></em> in the concentrations: 0.25, 1.25 and 2,5 g/m2, equivalent to the inclusion of <em>Cd</em> in 1,5 and 10 doses of MAC<strong> </strong>on experimental sites. When adding <em>Cd</em>, the content of doses (5 mg/kg soil MAC of <em>Cd</em>) was taken into account. It was founded the increasing of the AST activity on 26% (with adding the <em>Cd</em> salts at a dose of 1 МAС and digging activity by <em>Talpa</em><em> </em><em>europaea</em><em> </em>L) according to control (1 MAC <em>Cd</em>), witch it proved the non-specific reaction on stress. With <em>Cd</em> concentration 5 and 10 MAC we observed the repression of the enzymes activity according to controls (5 and 10 MAC <em>Cd</em>) on 10% and 50% in accordance. The protective properties by <em>T.</em><em> </em><em>europaea</em><em> </em>L. hadn’t positive results. The transferase enzyme activity according to another control (the area, is without pollution of <em>Cd</em> and digging activity by <em>T.</em><em> </em><em>europaea</em><em> </em>L.) reflected the increasing AST enzyme activity from 166% tо 218% (in presence 1 and 5 MAC<em> Cd</em>) and reduction around 46% (in presence 10 MAC<em> Cd</em>). The digging activity by <em>T.</em><em> </em><em>europaea</em><em> </em>L. lowered the toxic metal effect and the normalisation of the nitrogen metabolism by increasing the activity of AST from 55% to 266%, from 318% to 291% (AST, 1 та 5 MAC<em> Cd</em>). The digging activity by Mammalia did not contribute the metal toxic effect under the <em>Cd</em> 10 MAC. Thus, using the different representatives of zoocoenosis promotes improvement in the Steppe Dnieper at low concentrations of the factor has been revealed.</p>

Summary

ORIGINAL ARTICLE

The nitrate metabolism enzyme indicator role in the environment state changes conditions. When adding Cd, the content of doses (5 mg/kg soil MAC of Cd) was taken into account It was founded the increasing of the AST activity on 26% (with adding the Cd salts at a dose of 1 МAС and digging activity by Talpa europaea L) according to control (1 MAC Cd), witch it proved the non-specific reaction on stress. Виявлено підвищення активності ензиму АСТ на 26% на фоні додавання солі Cd у концентрації 1 ГДК та рийної активності (відносно контролю 1 ГДК Cd), що пояснюється наявністю неспецифічної реакції на стрес. Трансферазна активність, визначена відносно іншого контролю (без додавання солей кадмію та рийної активності T. europaea L., виявила достовірне підвищення активності AST від 166% до 218% (на фоні Cd 1 та 5 ГДК) та зниження до 46% (на фоні 10 ГДК Cd). Наукова значимість у визначенні нами впливу Cd на рослинний організм пов’язана з його токсичністю та екзогенним пресом урбоекосисем
