Arsenic speciation in clams of British Columbia

The water-soluble arsenic compounds in five species of clams – Butter clam (Saxidomus giganteus), Horse clam (Schizothoerus nuttalli), Soft-shelled clam (Mya arenaria), Native littleneck clam (Protothaca staminea), and Manila clam (Venerupis japonica) – are described. Varying amounts of arsenobetaine and tetramethylarsonium ion are the major arsenicals found in all species. Butter clams show the presence of a third compound which appears to be trimethylarsine oxide. Small amounts of as-yet-unidentified arsenicals can also be isolated.     

Clam shell repair from the brown ring disease: a study of the organic matrix using Confocal Raman micro-spectrometry and WDS microprobe

Since 1987, the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum has been regularly affected by the brown ring disease (BRD), an epizootic caused by the bacterium Vibrio tapetis. This disease is characterized by the development of a brown deposit on the inner face of valves. While most of the clams die from the BRD infection, some of them are able to recover by mineralizing a new repair shell layer, which covers the brown deposit by a process of encapsulation. The purpose of this work was to study the organic matrix of the shells of Manila clams in the inner shell layer before, during and after the brown deposit and during the shell repair process by confocal Raman micro-spectrometry and wavelength dispersive spectrometry (WDS) microprobe. In addition, the organic matrix of the repaired shell layer was extracted and quantified, by using standard biochemical shell matrix extractions protocols. The brown deposit exhibited high luminescence intensity in Raman spectra, and an increase of S, C, Sr (forming two peaks) and a decrease of Ca, Na concentrations (% w/w), using WDS microprobe mapping and cross-sectional transects. The signature of these trace elements was similar to that recorded on periostracal lamina (% w/w). The high S concentration likely corresponds to the presence of a high amount of sulfated organic compounds. Interestingly, on cross-sectional transects, before the brown deposit, a thin layer of the shell showed also a high luminescence, which may suggest that this layer is modified by bacteria. After the brown deposit, at the beginning of the shell repair process, the luminescence and the S concentration remain high, before declining the level found in non-BRD-affected shells. Quantification of the organic matrix shows that the shell repair layer zone is significantly different from non-BRD-affected shell layer, in particular with a much higher amount of insoluble matrix.     

Optimization of a centrifugation and ultrasound-assisted procedure for the determination of trace and major elements in marine invertebrates by ICP OES

A three factor Doehlert design was applied to optimize the extraction of elements in marine invertebrate samples (oyster, mussel and clam) using centrifugation with diluted acids. The factors were: concentration of acid mixture (HCl + HNO₃ + H₃CCOOH; 1–3 mol L^{− 1}), centrifugation time (10–40 min), and rotation velocity (6000–10,000 rpm). In order to evaluate the ultrasound effect on the extraction of trace metals, a portion of the certified oyster tissue sample (NIST 1556b; 0.250 g) was sonicated for 15 min and then the solution was centrifuged at the optimized conditions. The optimized procedure was then applied to nine marine invertebrate samples (oysters, clams and mussels) collected at Todos os Santos Bay, Bahia, Brazil. The optimized condition of the developed method was: 20 min of centrifugation at 9000 rpm using the acid mixture 1.0 mol L^{− 1}. The effect of sonication prior centrifugation was very variable, but it promoted a significant increase in the extraction (12 to 44%) of some trace elements. Moreover, the combination of the centrifugation with sonication offered other advantages, such as improvement of the precision and accuracy, both demonstrated using the oyster tissue reference sample. The results of major and trace elements in marine invertebrate samples showed that elements such us Cd and Cu in oyster samples and Zn in mussel and clam samples were above recommendations, suggesting that its consumption may impose health risks.     

Investigation of radiocesium biokinetics in Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum)

This study was carried out to better understand the biokinetics of radiocesium in clams living in sediment. The accumulation and depuration kinetics of ¹³⁴Cs were investigated in the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) under controlled laboratory conditions. The concentration factor was found to be 3.0 for ¹³⁴Cs in the whole body; however, the concentration factor in the soft part of the clams (12) was significantly higher than those in the whole body and shell (0.80). The depuration kinetics of the radionuclide were described by a two-component exponential model for the whole body. The biological half-lives in the fast and slow components were found to be 0.63 and 22.1 days, respectively. The depuration kinetics for ¹³⁴Cs in the soft parts were described by a single-component exponential model with a resultant the biological half-life of 18.0 days.     

A novel arsenical in clam kidney identified by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry.

Kidneys of clams of the genus Tridacna accumulate metabolic products from symbiotic unicellular algae that grow in the mantles of the clams. These metabolites include organoarsenic compounds that are biosynthesised by algae from arsenate in seawater. The arsenic compounds in aqueous extracts of the kidney of the giant clam T. derasa were investigated by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry. About 50% of the water-soluble arsenic was present as dimethylarsinoylribosides and dimethylarsinate which are common algal metabolites. The major compound in the kidney (50% of water-soluble arsenic) was identified as a 5-dimethylarsinoyl-2,3,4-trihydroxycarboxylic acid, a new natural product.     

Neutron activation analysis of urinary stones

Statistical correlations between the elements determined were sought which would be of possible interest in further research on the initial causes of urinary stone formation in the human body. This research project was funded by a grant from the National Research Council of the Philippines. Read at the 40th Annual Convention of the Philippine Medical Association held in Manila, May 9, 1947.     

Comparison and determination of elemental composition in Korean space foods using instrumental neutron activation analysis

A quantitative analysis of mineral contents in several kinds of foods is needed to obtain information on a comprehensive elemental composition as well as an investigation on the effects of human health and nutrition based on the dietary intake of mineral elements. In 2012, six kinds of new Korean space foods (KSF) such as sweet pumpkin porridge, dakgalbi (spicy grilled chicken), Manila clam porridge, ox leg bone-cabbage soup, ginseng-chicken porridge, and chicken curry rice were developed by KAERI, and the contents of more than 15 elements in the samples were determined using an instrumental neutron activation analysis. A certified reference material associated with a biological food sample was used for analytical quality control. The analytical results were evaluated according to the elemental concentrations with KSF samples and compared with the reported values. These results will be applied toward the identification of gamma-irradiated foods.     

A study on some trace elements in Chilean seafood

Levels of essential and toxic trace elements in six marine species greatly in demand in the international market (canned pink clams, razor clams, clams, king crab, sardines, and frozen albacore tuna fish) were studied. A special laboratory adequately equipped for handling and preparing biological materials, is described. The elements As, Br, Na, Se, Hg, Cr, Fe, Zn and Rb were determined by INAA, while copper and cadmium content were determined using RNAA. Significant differences were found on comparing the contents of some toxic elements in mollusk and other samples of marine food. Various certified reference materials (CRMs) of the IAEA, NIST and NIES were analyzed for quality assurance purposes.     

Production and characterisation of hyaluronidase and elastase inhibitory protein hydrolysates from Venus clam

The hydrolysates of fresh and boiled Venus clams with five different proteases for the production of low-molecular protein hydrolysates were optimised by response surface methodology. Alcalase hydrolysates exhibited the strongest hyaluronidase inhibitory activity. The optimum hydrolysis conditions of fresh and boiled clams were< enzyme-to-substrate ratio (E/S), 2.15%; time, 150 min; water-to-substrate ratio (W/S), 83.84 mL g^? 1 for fresh clam, and E/S, 2.02%; time, 4.11 h; W/S, 69.74 mL g^? 1 for boiled clam. The fresh and boiled clam protein hydrolysates were fractionated by S-200 HR size-exclusion chromatography, which resulted in one (FH1) and two (BH1 and BH2) fractions, respectively. BH1 exhibited the highest hyaluronidase and elastase inhibitory activities with specific activities of 141.15 and 81.36% mL mg^? 1, respectively. Therefore, the boiled Venus clam hydrolysate might be developed as a cosmeceutical agent because of its strong hyaluronidase and elastase inhibitory activities.     

The photo-oxidation of solutions of arsenicals to arsenate: A convenient analytical procedure

The separation of arylarsonic acids by HPLC on a reverse-phase C₁₈ column is described. Solutions containing these arsenicals and others such as arsenobetaine are photo-oxidized to arsenate by ultraviolet (UV) radiation (1200 W, 1 h exposure). This allows the analysis of the solution for arsenic by hydride generation techniques. The method, UV HGAA, is developed and applied to the determination of arsenic in the methanol extracts of the Manila clam (Verupis japonica) and the Horse clam (Schizothoerus nutalli).
