Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
copper sulphate increases enzyme activity in the digestive gland Mytilus galloprovincialis
gasoline increases enzyme activity in the digestive gland and in hemocytes Mytilus galloprovincialis

Application

Application Comment Organism
additional information potential of acid DNase response in mussels to serve as a biomarker of contaminant exposure, whereby the digestive gland is a suitable tissue for discrimination of polluted areas from maricultured area. Since acid DNase activity in mussel Mytilus galloprovincilais is tissue-specific and pollutant-specific the digestive gland/hemocyte (Hep/Hem) ratio reveals a pollutant effect that can not be detected by acid DNase measurement in single tissue only Mytilus galloprovincialis
