Abstract
Microsomes from the marine mussel Mytilus edulis possess the enzyme activity that selectively metabolizes primary aromatic amines and not polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This activity is NADPH-dependent and has a pH optimum at 8.4. By these characteristics this enzyme is identical with the purified pig liver FAD-containing monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.8, dimethylaniline monooxygenase). The exposure of mussels to Diesel-2 oil does not induce the enzyme activity. These results are discussed in terms of possible ecological and environmental significance.Entities:
