| detecting micronuclei frequency in some aquatic organisms for monitoring pollution of izmir bay (western turkey). | micronuclei tests is a system of mutagenicity testing used for determining the pollution and chemicals causing changes in dna fragments such as micronuclei in the cytoplasm of interphase cells. damage caused on the dna by genotoxic pollutants is the first consequence occurring in the aquatic organisms. thus, it was attempted to determine whether pollution affected the erythrocytes and gills of fish gobius niger and haemolymph and gills of mussels mytilus galloprovincialis living in izmir bay at ... | 2010 | 19444638 |
| preliminary investigation of sensitive biomarkers of trace metal pollution in mussel (mytilus galloprovincialis) from izmir bay (turkey). | the aim of this study was to identify possible relationships between biochemical- superoxide dismutase (sod), glutathione peroxidase (gpx), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (tbars) of mussels (mytilus galloprovincialis) and chemical (hg, cd, pb, cr, cu, zn, mn and fe) contaminants from relatively clean area (middle bay) and heavily polluted area (inner bay) of the izmir bay. sampling of mussels was performed in the beginning of may 2004. mussel digestive glands have been used for biochemi ... | 2008 | 17849228 |
| trace metal levels in mussels (mytilus galloprovincialis l. 1758) from turkish aegean sea coast. | bio-monitoring of some heavy metal levels (cd, pb, zn, cu) in whole edible soft parts of mytilus galloprovincialis (l. 1758) was conducted in turkish aegean sea coast during the period of september 2002-august 2003 seasonally. moreover, some physico-chemical environmental parameters, also have been analysed in the same region. the values of some physico-chemical environmental parameters in coastal waters of turkish aegean sea were changed between; 9.0-27.0 ( composite function)c for temperature, ... | 2006 | 16502029 |
