title: Arsenic lipids in the digestive gland of the western rock lobster Panulirus cygnus: an investigation by HPLC ICP-MS.
abstract: The digestive gland of the western rock lobster, Panulirus cygnus, was shown to contain phosphatidylarsenocholine and a phosphatidyldimethylarsinylriboside by HPLC ICP-MS examination of lipid materials rendered water-soluble by hydrolysis. Water-soluble arsenic material in the digestive gland was chiefly arsenobetaine but the deacylated analogue of the phosphatidyldimethylarsinylriboside and an unidentified compound were also present.
