The activation of aromatic amines in some marine invertebrates

Recently we found that the postmitochondrial fraction of marine mussel ( Mytilus edulis) digestive gland metabolizes aromatic amines readily but not polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 1 Here we present some properties of similar biotransforming capacity of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and pre...

Zusammenfassung:Recently we found that the postmitochondrial fraction of marine mussel ( Mytilus edulis) digestive gland metabolizes aromatic amines readily but not polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 1 Here we present some properties of similar biotransforming capacity of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and preliminary evidence for the presence of similar exclusive metabolism of aromatic amines in all marine invertebrates tested so far.
