Benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase activity in the marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis: a potential marker of contamination by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-type compounds
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors optimize and standardize the incubation conditions necessary to determine benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase (BPH) activity in mussel microsomes.

Metabolism and mutagenic activation of benzo(a)pyrene by subcellular fractions from mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) digestive gland and sea bass (Discenthrarcus labrax) liver
TL;DR: The 9–10 and 7–8 epoxides formed by sea bass microsomes have a high affinity for EH which readily metabolized all those epoxide to diols, and Alpha-naphtoflavone inhibits sea bass B(a)P metabolism at high concentration whereas it increases it at low concentration.

TL;DR: The GICBEM (Groupe Interface Chimie Biologie des Ecosystemes Marins) program consists of an evaluation of the ecosystem health status in the Mediterranean Sea mainly based on chemical and biochemical approaches as mentioned in this paper.

Biological markers of environmental contamination in marine ecosystems: BIOMAR project
J. F. Narbonne,Pascal Mora,X. Michel,Hélène Budzinski,P. Garrigues,M. Lafaurie,Jean-Pierre Salaün,Jean-Baptiste Bergé,P. Den Besten,G. Pagano,C. Porte,D.R. Livingstone,P. D. Hansen,A. Herbert +13 more
TL;DR: The main objectives of the BIOMAR project are getting a better knowledge about biological mechanisms developed by marine organisms in coastal environments under the effects of contaminants, by in virro and in vivo experiments and characterization of the criteria and physiological/biochemical/cellular parameters for an efficient coastal contamination biomonitoring program based on biomarkers.
