Aydın, Ayşe Nur; Serdar, Osman
In parallel with the increase in the need for raw materials used in industry, the area and amount of use of Rare Earth Elements are also increasing. Yttrium (Y), which is used as a raw material source, is thought to form residues in the environment. Gammarus pulex individuals were selected as a model organism to investigate the effects of Yttrium on the environment and aquatic organisms. G. pulexes were exposed to Y at different temperatures (16, 18, and 20 °C) and concentrations (25, 100, and 500 µg/L) for 96 hours and samples were taken at 24 and 96 hours for biochemical analyses. For biomarker analysis, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities, thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) and glutathione (GSH) levels were performed using CAYMAN ELISA kit. Study data revealed that SOD and CAT activities increased significantly with increasing temperature and exposure concentration, while GPx activity showed an irregular response; in contrast, no significant change was observed in TBARS levels at 16 °C, while the increase in TBARS and significant changes in GSH levels at 18 and 20 °C indicate that oxidative stress becomes more pronounced at high temperatures.

Nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly used across various fields of science and technology, including food science from crop harvesting to final food consumption. With their widespread application in daily life, the environmental effects of nanoparticles have become an important area of academic investigation. In this study, Gammarus pulex species was selected as research material/bioindicator species to investigate the effects of zinc oxide (ZnO), copper oxide (CuO), and iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) on aquatic life. To conduct the experiments, separate setups were established for each of the nanoparticles (ZnO, CuO, and α-Fe2O3). Following ten organisms for each concentration group (10, 20, and 40 ppm) with corresponding control groups, exposures were performed for 24 and 96 hours. Samples were collected at both time points and biochemical analyses were conducted using homogenization procedures. The results were evaluated statistically. According to the findings, SOD activity increased significantly after exposure to ZnO, CuO, and Fe2O3. CAT activity did not show any change under ZnO NP exposure, whereas a decrease was observed under CuO and Fe2O3 NP exposures. However, a significant increase in TBARS levels and a significant increase in GSH levels were observed following nanoparticle exposure. Based on the study data, exposure to ZnO, CuO, and Fe2O3 appears to induce oxidative stress in G. pulex.

Serdar, Osman
This study aimed to investigate both the protective and therapeutic effects of propolis (PP) against pesticide-induced oxidative stress in aquatic environments. For this purpose, Gammarus pulex was exposed to 0.00 (control), 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 ppm concentrations of cyfluthrin (CYF) to determine its toxic effects. To evaluate the protective effect of PP, 5 ppm of PP was added to each pesticide concentration. Samples were collected from all experimental groups after 24 and 96 hours under appropriate conditions. SOD activity decreased under CYF exposure but increased significantly after PP supplementation. Although CAT activity did not show significant changes with CYF alone, it increased in the presence of PP. GPx activity remained statistically unchanged under CYF exposure but increased following PP treatment. CYF exposure led to decreased GSH levels; however, PP did not significantly alter GSH levels. TBARS levels increased due to CYF, and this increase was alleviated by PP application.

Pala, Aysegul; Ince, Muharrem; Serdar, Osman
The aim of this study is to test freshwater gammarids as ecotoxicological biomarkers. Gammarids were collected from fresh water and adapted to the laboratory environment. Then, the influence of various variables was investigated. For monitoring and detecting the bioaccumulation level in Gammarus pulex exposed to controlled copper ions and to evaluate potential human and ecological risks, the use of G. pulex as sentinel indicators of water quality is one rational approach. Copper bioaccumulation rate and fate are currently not sufficiently studied. For optimization, the experimental conditions to ensure bioaccumulation level and to find the effects of various variables on proses, a Box–Behnken experimental design was performed. Used mentioned model with statistical underpinnings for Cu2+ ions bioaccumulation have been analyzed, tested and verified and the viability of G. pulex as a biomonitor. The variables’ optimum levels (temperature; 18.1, pH; 4.3, initial concentration of Cu2+ ions, mg L−1; 11.2 and exposure time, h; 42.2) were achieved by employing the quadratic regression model. Critical role of G. pulex in freshwater biomonitoring and their potential to be evaluated as biomarkers for Cu2+ ions was confirmed. It was also explored to see if G. pulex may serve as a potential tool for estimating aquatic quality.

Serdar, Osman; Aydin, Ayşe Nur; Çimen, Isıl Canan Çiçek
The rapid growth in the use of aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3 NPs) in various fields such as medicine, pharmacy, cosmetics industries and engineering, and the fact that these NPs and their wastes mix with the aquatic environment and damage the aquatic ecosystem, affect the organisms in the water, enter the food chain and reach humans is a major problem is cause for concern. The aim of this study is to investigate the oxidative stress caused by two separate forms of aluminum oxide, γ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3, in Gammarus pulex, which is a good indicator species, with biochemical parameters. For this purpose, G. pulex was exposed to different concentrations (0, 10, 20, 40 ppm) of γ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3 separately. The experiments were carried out for 24 and 96 h by creating 3 repeated experimental groups consisting of 4 groups. For biomarker analysis, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) activities and glutathione (GSH) and thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) levels were performed using an ELISA kit. As a result of the in experimental study, it was observed that both nanoparticles affected oxidative stress and antioxidant parameters after 96 h compared to the control group. Increases in SOD activity were observed, γ-Al2O3 caused a decrease in CAT activity at 24 h, and α- Al2O3 caused increases in CAT activity at 96 h. Decreases in GSH levels and increases in TBARS levels have been observed.

Seker, Engin
Non–steroidal anti–inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a widely prescribed medication class that is used in the treatment of numerous conditions worldwide. Of these drugs, naproxen is the most commonly used NSAID. Following administration, non–steroidal anti–inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as naproxen are eliminated from the body in either their original chemical form or as metabolites, ultimately entering the aquatic environment. The current study sought to show the impacts of naproxen on the oxidant/antioxidant status of Gammarus pulex, an aquatic invertebrate (Amphipoda). Gammarus pulex were exposed to sublethal concentrations of naproxen (3.44, 6.87 and 13.75 mg·L-1) for 96 hours (h). Whole body tissue samples were collected after 24, 48 and 96 h of exposure and analysed to determine the oxidant/antioxidant status by quantifying malondialdehyde (MDA) and total glutathione levels (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) activities of the G. pulex. The level of MDA exhibited a remarkable increase, while the endogenous GSH level showed a significant depletion in tested whole body tissues in a time–dependent manner after naproxen treatment of G. pulex. In G. pulex exposed to the highest dose of naproxen; decreases in GSH activity, SOD and CAT activities were observed.The SOD activity did not show a discernible rise in statistics after 24 and 48 h of exposure, however, a difference was observed after 96 h compared to the control group (P<0.05). The findings of this study demonstrated the capacity of naproxen to initiate oxidative stress and elevate MDA levels in G. pulex, even at remarkably low concentrations. This study emphasizes that it is essential to develop effective methodologies to impede naproxen entry into the aquatic environment.

Söylemez, Hilal; Serdar, Osman
This study aimed to determine the relationship between temperature and neurotoxicity of a new generation insecticide, the active ingredient of which is flubendiamide, on non-target aquatic organisms (Gammarus pulex (L., 1758)). Firstly, LC50 values of flubendiamide on G. pulex were determined at 16, 18 and 20 °C as 256.83 ± 19.59 µgL-1, 169.38 ± 34.17 µgL-1 and 155.84 ± 17.22 µgL-1, respectively. We found that the acute toxicity sensitivity of the test organism to the pesticide containing flubendiamide increased with increasing temperature. Secondly, G. pulex was exposed to non-lethal concentrations of flubendiamide pesticide for 96 hours at the above temperatures. Finally, the changes in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme activity were determined for each temperature using ELISA kits. The exposure time between the 24th and 96th h at the same temperature was found to be statistically insignificant (p>0.05). It was determined that the inhibition value of AChE enzyme activity on the test organism of the pesticide with active ingredient flubendiamide increased depending on the temperature increase. Considering the changes in AChE enzyme activities in G. pulex at different temperatures against flubendiamide insecticide, it was concluded that it can be used as a useful biomarker.

Tanyol, Mehtap; Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Alparslan, Dilek
Indigo carmine removal from aqueous solutions was investigated by the electrocoagulation process and biochemical responses of Gammarus pulex to solutions before and after treatment were studied. Electrocoagulation experiments in the first stage were carried out with central composite design (CCD) using response surface methodology (RSM). Optimization of process variables that maximize indigo carmine removal by electrocoagulation process was carried out by using a second-order model within the studied test range of various process variables. According to the optimization results, optimum conditions for obtaining 82.55% maximum indigo carmine removal were pH 5.86, a current density of 13.31 mA/cm2, an indigo carmine concentration of 20.01 mg/L, and a time period of 115.80 min. Under optimum conditions for indigo carmine removal, the amount of sludge formed was 0.928 kg/m3, electrode consumption was 0.0305 kg/m3, and energy consumption was 7.461 kWh/m3. The operating cost was calculated as 0.79 US$/m3 under treatment conditions where optimum indigo carmine removal was achieved. In the second stage, G. pulex was exposed to treated and untreated synthetic indigo carmine solutions obtained from experiments according to optimum conditions in order to investigate the biochemical response for 24 and 96 h. Treatment efficiency was evaluated with superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) biomarkers. Results clearly showed that the electrocoagulation process was a simple and effective treatment method for the decolorization of wastewaters containing indigo carmine dye. The bioassays used in the present study provided good credibility for checking the detoxification of treated and untreated indigo carmine solutions.

One of the most important environmental problems in the world is micro-pollutants. The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant responses of Gammarus pulex to Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting agent. For this purpose, sublethal concentrations of BPA were applied to G. pulex and biochemical responses were studied. Enzymatic antioxidants superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities and nonenzymatic antioxidants glutathione (GSH) and thiobarbituric acid reagents (TBARS) levels in G. pulex were determined in four different groups during 24 and 96 h. Biochemical biomarkers were measured using commercial kits in a microplate reader. When we compared with control, SOD enzyme activity increased in all groups during both administration periods and CAT enzyme activity decreased in all groups. GSH and TBARS levels were increased after 24 and 96 h of application periods in all groups when compared with control. For changes in SOD and CAT activities and GSH, TBARS levels have been determined to be useful as biomarkers against BPA in G. pulex tissues. It has also been proven that G. pulex is an effective bioindicator that shows BPA pollution in water. The different results of biochemical biomarkers can be evaluated as a marker of possible metabolic processes, and the biochemical response of G. pulex can reveal to some extent the environmental consequences of BPA pollution resulting from industrial waters.

Recently, although dynamic approaches have been used increasingly to describe metal bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms, the validation of such laboratory-derived modelling is rarely assessed under environmental conditions. The present study aims to evaluate and verify statistical and mathematical models for the bioaccumulation of cadmium (Cd) and to evaluate the suitability of Gammarus pulex as a biomonitor for Cd. To optimise Cd2+ ion bioaccumulation conditions a Box–Behnken design was used and whether G. pulex can be used as an estimated tool to assess aquatic quality was investigated. A Box–Behnken experimental design combined with response surface modelling (RSM) was employed for Cd2+ bioaccumulation in G. pulex. Independent variables including temperature, contact time and Cd2+ ion concentration significance and their interactions were tested using analysis of variance. The selected variables’ optimum values were obtained by solving the quadratic regression model along with by analysing the response surface contour plots. Based on Box–Behnken design, the applied model is significant because model F-value and R2 were obtained as 5121.49, 0.9998, respectively. Bioaccumulation of Cd amount was analysed using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The obtained data suggest that G. pulex can be evaluated as Cd biomonitor.

This study had determined the effect of glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH) on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme activity, oxidative stress, and antioxidant status in Gammarus pulex. Firstly, the 96-h LC50 value of glyphosate on G. pulex was determined and calculated as 403 μg/L. Subsequently, the organisms were exposed to sub-lethal concentrations (10, 20, and 40 μg/L) of the determined GHB for 24 and 96 h. The samples were taken from control and GBH-treated groups at 24 and 96 h of study and analysed to determine the malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, the AChE, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) enzyme activities. In the G. pulex exposed to GBH for 24 and 96 h, the MDA level increased significantly (p < 0.05). The GSH level, the AChE, the CAT, and the GPx activities decreased compared with the control group (p < 0.05). G. pulex exposure to GBH for 24 h showed a temporary reduction in the SOD. GBH exposure led to oxidative stress in the G. pulex as well as affected the cholinergic system of the organism. These results indicated that the parameters measured may be important indicators of herbicide contamination in G. pulex.

The discharge of landfill leachate into the environment without effective treatment poses a serious threat for the aquatic ecosystems. This present study was undertaken to evaluate whether electrocoagulation process is efficient for treatment landfill leachate (LL) or not by using antioxidant biomarkers in Gammarus pulex. Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels in G. pulex exposed to untreated, treated, and diluted rates 1/10 and 1/20 in both LL during 24 and 96 h were tested. Physiochemical characteristics of leachate (chemical oxygen demand, electrical conductivity, pH, phosphate, turbidity, NH3, Cl−, and color) were determined pre and post treatment. All physiochemical characteristics of LL decreased after treatment process. GSH-Px and CAT activities and GSH and MDA levels were increased in untreated groups when compared to control (p < 0.05). After treatment by electrocoagulation, MDA and GSH levels and CAT activities were returned to control values. In conclusion, the abilities of LL to stimulate oxidative stress in G. pulex have been proven. The results revealed that antioxidant parameters are useful biomarkers for determining the treatment efficiency of the electrocoagulation process.
