The aim of this study is to find out the best solvent to be used in extraction of chemical pollutants from living organisms. Ethanol, benzene, chloroform, pentane, 1,4-dioxan, acetone, cyclohexane and ether were used in extraction of shrimp and clam samples collected from a Fahaheel site. The tissue extracts were tested for their mutagenic activity using E. coli and Salmonella on tester strains. The results revealed that ethanol was more efficient than other solvent in extraction of chemical mutagens concentrated in clams and shrimps.
本研究的目的是找出用于从生物体内提取化学污染物的最佳溶剂。使用乙醇、苯、氯仿、戊烷、1,4-二氧六环、丙酮、环己烷和乙醚对从法哈希尔一个地点采集的虾和蛤样本进行提取。使用大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌对测试菌株检测组织提取物的致突变活性。结果表明,在提取蛤和虾体内浓缩的化学诱变剂方面,乙醇比其他溶剂更有效。
