Wr. Cullen et Sa. Pergantis, BIOTRANSFORMATION OF [H-3] METHYLARSONIC ACID IN A STATIC SEAWATER SYSTEM CONTAINING MYTILUS-CALIFORNIANUS, Applied organometallic chemistry, 7(5), 1993, pp. 329-334
Mytius californianus exposed for 9 days to a seawater system containin
g [H-3]methylarsonic acid, was found to contain [H-3]methylarsonic aci
d along with [H-3]arsenobetaine and two unknown H-3-labeled compounds
in the tissue parts of the mussel. A linear increase with time in the
specific activity present in the flesh of Mytilus californianus was al
so observed. The highest specific activity was found in the visceral m
ass and the gills of the mussel.
