| Abstract: | To investigate sulfide detoxification in Urechis unicinctus,oxygen consumption rate and sulfide detoxification products were analyzed during sulfide exposure under controlled laboratory conditions.The results showed that oxygen consumption rates were elevated significantly during 3 h sulfide exposure compared to the control(P<0.05).The concentration of sulfite in body wall and hindgut of experimental worms increased significantly(P<0.05)when exposed to 50 μmolL-1 sulfide,reached a maximum at 24h and then decreased.Similar result was observed in worms exposed to 150μmolL-1 sulfide except that sulfite concentration reached a maximum at 12 h.Contents of thiosulfate in body wall and hindgut of U.unicinctus exposed to sulfide were also significantly higher than that of the control without sulfide exposure.In conclusion,during short-time sulfide exposure U.unicinctus may raise oxygen consumption to detoxify toxic sulfide into sulfite and thiosulfate.Sulfide detoxification was restrained when the exposure time was prolonged or sulfide concentration was increased,which was indicated by decrease of sulfite,the intermediate product of sulfide detoxification. |
