Effects of tannery wastewater exposure on adult Drosophila melanogaster
Abstract
Our aim was to evaluate the effects of exposure to tannery wastewater on mortality and/or antioxidant enzyme system in adult wild-type Canton-S Drosophila melanogaster. Exposure to tannery wastewater induced a concentration-dependent lethality in adult Canton-S flies. Tannery wastewater was able to alter antioxidant enzyme activities, specifically glutathione peroxidase-like and glutathione S-transferase, in adult Canton-S D. melanogaster. We conclude that D. melanogaster is a reliable model to evaluate the toxicity induced by tannery wastewater.
Keywords: Glutathione S-transferase; Lethality; Oxidative parameters; Tannery effluent; Wild-type Canton-S D. melanogaster.
