Bromination of phenol red by the dogfish, Squalus acanthias.

J W BURGER, T L LOO.   

Abstract

The uterus of the pregnant spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias, can convert phenol red into a new purplish-blue dye. Evidence shows that the new dye is bromophenol blue. This is the first example of biological bromination that has been observed in a vertebrate.
