The uterus of the pregnant spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias, can convert phenol red into a new purplish-blue dye. Evidence shows that the new dye is bromophenol blue. This is the first example of biological bromination that has been observed in a vertebrate.
怀孕的白斑角鲨(Squalus acanthias)的子宫能将酚红转化为一种新的紫蓝色染料。证据表明,这种新染料是溴酚蓝。这是在脊椎动物中观察到的生物溴化作用的首个实例。
