Stemming from investigations into the relationship between toxins produced by Gonyaulax sp. and accumulated in shellfish, we wish to report enzymatic transformations of the PSP toxins to decarbamoyl derivatives in the littleneck clam (Protothaca staminea). No toxin transformations were observed in either mussels (Mytilus edulis) or in butter clams (Saxidomus giganteus). In addition, littleneck clam samples from the natural environment contained predominantly the decarbamoyl derivatives, while other shellfish species collected from the same vicinity contained the previously reported PSP toxins.
源于对塔玛亚历山大藻产生并在贝类中积累的毒素之间关系的研究，我们希望报告在沙海螂（Protothaca staminea）中麻痹性贝类毒素向脱氨甲酰基衍生物的酶促转化。在贻贝（Mytilus edulis）或黄油蛤（Saxidomus giganteus）中均未观察到毒素转化。此外，来自自然环境的沙海螂样本主要含有脱氨甲酰基衍生物，而从同一区域采集的其他贝类物种则含有先前报道的麻痹性贝类毒素。
