Abstract:On stress of CO2 enriched atmospheres, the change of activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in adults of Stegobium paniceum and Lasioderma serricorne and their kinetic indexes were investigated by endpoint method colorimetry. The specific activity of S.paniceum and L.serricorne increased from control 1.221μmol/mg pro./30min and 1.856μmol/mg pro./30min to exposed for 18h 2.231μmol/mg pro./30min and 2.135μmol/mg pro./30min respectively. Increasing specific activity of AChE was noted both insects exposed to CO2 enriched atmosphere within 6h. There was still slowly growing of specific activity for S.paniceum exposed to the atmosphere for 6 to 18h. However, a gently decreasing trend was noted for L.serricorne exposed to the atmosphere for 6 to 15h. The Km of AChE got the smallest values(1.830μmol/L and 7.632μmol/L) for S.paniceum and L.serricorne treated within 6 and 9h respectively. But after that, they recovered to normal control pests’ level. Moreover, the Vmax of AChE from the two pests was also affected by control atmosphere. Therefore, the conclusion can be drawn that both S.paniceum and L.serricorne can acclimatize themselves to adverse condition (i.e.stress of CO2 enriched atmosphere) by adjusting of character of AChE.
