Objective To investigate the effects of several metallic ions on the activity of phenoloxidase (PO) from Oncomelania hupensis of different ages such as adult snails, young snails, and snail eggs. Methods PO from O. hupensis of different ages was partially purified. PO activity was determined with different concentrations of NaCl, KCl, Na2SO4, K2SO4, MgSO4, CaSO4, ZnSO4, and CuSO4. Catechol was used as a substrate. Results Na+ and K+ had no effects on the activity of PO from O. hupensis of any age. Mg2+ and Ca2+ showed enhancing effects in all age groups, while Zn2+ had an inhibitory effect. For O. hupensis of different ages, Cu2+ enhanced the enzyme activity at low concentrations, but inhibited the enzyme activity at high concentrations. Conclusion Several metallic ions such as Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, and Cu2+ can affect the activity of PO from O. hupensis of different ages. These findings provide a rationale for developing novel methods in chemically eliminating snails.
