Characterization of arsenic compounds formed by Daphnia magna and Tetraselmis chuii from inorganic arsenate.

TLDR
Arsenocholine, arsenobetaine, and acetylarsenocholine have been synthesized and will serve as reference substances in the chromatography experiments and the preparation of arsenocholine-containing lipids is in progress.
Abstract
Experiments to grow Tetraselmis chuii (a marine alga) and Daphnia magna in the presence of inorganic arsenate are described. The algae incorporate arsenic rather efficiently and form a lipid-solubl...

Arsenic and Marine Organisms

TL;DR: An overview of marine arsenic research and arsenic concentrations in various marine compartments is provided in this paper, followed by an outline of their occurrence, distribution, and biotransformation in marine samples.

The uptake and reduction of arsenic species by marine algae

TL;DR: Calculations based on the measured rates of reduction indicate that 15–20% of the total arsenic is reduced by phytoplankton during the spring and fall blooms on the continental shelf.

A simple method for the isolation and purification of total lipides from animal tissues.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a simplified version of the method and reported the results of a study of its application to different tissues, including the efficiency of the washing procedure in terms of the removal from tissue lipides of some non-lipide substances of special biochemical interest.

Separation and analysis of organic-bound and inorganic arsenic in marine organisms.

TL;DR: Determination of arsenic was performed by neutron activation and X-ray fluorescence and total arsenic in the samples analysed is reduced by 0.5 to 3 parts/million by this treatment.

Phospholipase a properties of several snake venom preparations.

TL;DR: Of the seven venoms studied, that of Ophiophagus hannah was the only one which did not give some degree of preferential rate of hydrolysis of individual fatty acids, and saturated fatty acids were liberated faster than unsaturated fatty acids.
