The study found that metalaxyl-M had a higher toxicity than metalaxyl on T. tubifex, and there were differences in the behaviors and toxic effects of the two compounds in both exposure and non-exposure processes.
Metalaxyl and Metalaxyl-M are the fungicides that widely used in many countries. In this study, the environmental behaviors between metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M in Tubifex tubifex (T. tubifex) were quantitative analyzed by using a high performance liquid chromatography with photo-diode-array-detector (HPLC-DAD). Results demonstrated that there was no significant difference (p 0.05) in the concentration of metalaxyl and metalaxylM in T. tubifex during the exposure process. However, the dissipation behaviors of metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M in T. tubifex were different (p < 0.05) during the non-exposure culture process. Meanwhile, the toxic effects were also evaluated by comparing the different influences of these two compounds on related physiological indicators, and functional enzyme activities. The survival rates of T. tubifex were 63.33 +/- 15.28% (20 mg L-1), 63.33 +/- 5.77% (200 mg L-1) treated with metalaxyl and were 50.00 +/- 10.00% (20 mg L-1), 46.67 +/- 11.55 (200 mg L-1) treated with metalaxyl-M at the non-exposure culture process. The autotomy rates were increased significantly compared with the initial in all treatments. Besides, the activities of CAT, SOD, and GST in T. tubifex were also inhibited by metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M treatments. Finally, the high-throughput transcriptome sequencing technology was applied to investigate the metabolic pathways of target analytes in T. tubifex, and results proved that the metabolic pathways associated with human diseases (such as viral myocarditis) were up-regulated expression for metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M treatments, and metalaxyl-M up-regulated more significantly. All the results demonstrated that metalaxyl-M had a higher toxicity than metalaxyl on T. tubifex.
