Enzyme Activities of a Honeybee(Apis mellifera L.) Associated with the Degradation of Some Insecticides

서양종(西洋種)꿀벌의 살충제분해효소에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

In order to determine the approptiate usage of insecticides to honeybee(Apis mellifera L.), median effective dose to seven insecticides were studied. $LC_(50)$ value of DDT was the highest as being 58 ppm, and that of EPN was the lowest as being 1.61ppm. Various detoxifying enzymes from the midget cf adult worker bee, including microsomal oxidases, glutathione Stransferases, esterases, and DDT-dehydrochlorinase were assayed. Effects of various insecticides on microsomal enzyme activities were as follows: Aldrin epoxidase activity was inhibited by malathione and permethrin treatment. N-demethylase activity was induced by diazinon and EPN treatment and O-demethlase activity was induced by diazinon treatment. Of the glutathione S-transferases, aryltransferase(DCNB conjugation) activity was significantly induced by diazinon, and moderately induced by permethrin. Of the esterases, ${\alpha}-NA$ esterase activity was moderately inhibited by malatjione and permethrin. Acetylcholinesterase activity was not affected by the sublethal exposure of honeybee to the insecticides. Sublethal exposure of honeybee to the insecticides had no effect on DDT-dehydrochlorinase activity, except carbaryl and permethrin were significantly induced.

서양종(西洋種) 꿀벌(Apis mellifera L)에 대(對)한 살충제의 독성(毒性) 및 해독능력(解毒能力)을 조사(調査)하고 농약한계사용량(農藥限界使用量) 결정(決定)에 기여(寄與)하기 위하여 7가지 대표적(代表的)인 살충제의 꿀벌에 대한 독성(毒性)및 해독효소(解毒酵素)의 활성(活性)을 조사(調査)하였다. 효소활성(酵素活性)은 해독효소(解毒酵素)로 알려진 microsomal oxidases, glutathione S-transferases, esterases 와 DDT-dehydrochlorinase를 조사(調査)했고 성충(成？)일별의 중장(中腸)을 사용(使用)하여 측정(測定)하였다. $LC_{50}$치(値)의 측정결과(測定決果) 공시(供試) 살충제중(殺？劑中) DDT가 58ppm으로 독성(毒性)이 가장 낮았고 EPN이 1.61ppm으로 독성(毒性)이 가장 강(强)했다. 준치사농도(準致死濃度)의 농약(農藥)이 성충(成？)일벌의 microsomal oxidase에 미치는 영향은 malathion 및 permethrin 처리(處理)가 aldrin epoxidase 활성(活性)을 저해(沮害)시켰고 N-demethylase 활성(活性)은 diazinon 처리구(處理區)에서 증대(增大)되었다. Ghtathione S-transferarse(DCNB conjugation) 활성(活性)은 diazinon과 permethrin 처리구(處理區)에서 증대(增大)되었다. Esterase는 malathion 및 permethrin 처리구(處理區)에서 ${\alpha}-NA$ esterase활성(活性)의 저해(沮害)를 보였고 diazinon처리구(處理區)에서 carboxylesterase활성(活性)이 증대(增大)되었으며 AChE 활성(活性)은 거의 영향(影響)이 없었다. DDT-dehy drochlorinase활성(活性)은 carbaryl 및 permethrin 처리구(處理區)에서 증대(增大)되었다.
