  • Specific Lethal Effects of Trace Neutral Red on Amoeba discoides and Trichodina

    [Objective] The aim of this study was to provide the reference for the artificial breeding of aquatic animals.[Method] Amoeba discoides and Trichodina were treated by neutral red solution with different concentrations to observe the physiological activities of organelles in their death processes.Effects of neutral red solution on the growth of common aquatic animals such as Paramecium caudatum,Euglena viridis and Brachionus plicatilis were analyzed,and the specific lethal mechanism of trace neutral red to A.discoides and Trichodina was also preliminarily studied.[Result] The neutral red solution at a concentration of 0.5 mg/L damaged the physiological function of contractile vacuole in Trichodina and also had the specific lethal effect on Trichodina,but it had no effect on the growth and reproduction of non-parasitic protozoa and B.plicatilis.Neutral red solution with certain concentration led to disorder of the physiological functions of A.discoides,such as assimilation and rejection,which was a main factor that caused the death of A.discoides.[Conclusion] With the advantages such as targeting,safety and easiness to be oxidized and decomposed,neutral red is an ideal drug for treating the diseases caused by A.discoides and Trichodina,and its suitable concentration is 0.5 mg/L.
