Studies for Reestabilishment of Approval Toxin Amount in Paralytic Shellfish Poison-Infested Shellfish 5. Comparison of Toxicity and Toxin Composition of Paralytic Shellfish Poison between Blue mussel, Mytilus edulis and Oyster, Crassostrea gigas

The toxicity and toxin composition between blue mussel, Mytilus edulis and oyster, Crassostrea gigas collected at Woepori in Ko je island in South Coast of Korea in 1996 and 1997 were compared. The highest toxicity score was about 10 times higher in blue mussel than oyster (blue mussel, 8,670 $\mu\textrm{g}$; oyster, 860$\mu\textrm{g}$ in 1996, blue mussel, 5,657 $\mu\textrm{g}$/100g in 1997). The blue mussel also retained its toxicity for slightly longer period than oyster. In the both shellfish, PSP was composed almost exclusively of C toxicity (Cl and C2, 20~65%) and gonyautoxins (GTXl, 2, 3, and 4, 38~78%). In the early period of toxin accumulation, the ratio of 11$\beta$-epimer toxins (C2, GTX4) whose amount was 25~56 mole% (5th March to 12th April in 1996) and 25~80 mole% (18th March to 7th April in 1997), were higher than that of 11-epimer toxins (Cl, GTX2) whose amount was 41~57 mol%(27th May to 3rd June in 1996) and 25~56 mole% (29th April to 12th May in 1997), became higher than that of 11-epimer toxins. The toxin compositions in the both samples changed on a daily basis, presumably owing to metabolism of the toxin in the bivalves.

1976년과 1997년 남해안의 거제도 외포리에서 채취한 진주담치와 굴의 독력 덴 독소성분을 비교 조사하였다. 독성은 진주담치가 굴에 비하여 약 10배 정도 높았으며(1996년, 진주담치, 8,670 $\mu\textrm{g}$, 굴 860$\mu\textrm{g}$; 1997년, 진주담치 5,657 $\mu\textrm{g}$, 굴 531$\mu\textrm{g}$/100g), 독화기간도 진주담치가 굴에 비하여 길었다. 두 종류의 시료 모두 독소 주성분은 Cl 및 C2 (20~65%)와 gonyautoxin 1, 2, 3, 4 (38~78%)이었다. 그리고 독화초기에는 11$\beta$-epimer toxin(C2, GTX4)의 비율이 25~56mo1e%(1996년)와 25~80mo1e% (1997년)로 11$\alpha$-epimer toxin(Cl, GTX2)의 비율도다 높았다. 그러나 독화기간이 지남에 따라 11$\alpha$-epimer toxin의 비율이 41~57mo1e%(1996년)와 25~56mo1e%(1997년)로 11$\beta$-epimer toxin의 비율보다 높게 나타났다. 이와 같은 독소성분 조성의 변화는 패류내에서 독소가 대사되기 때문인 것으로 추측된다.
