Induced Alkoxyresorufin-O-Dealkylases in Tilapias (Oreochromis niloticus) From Guandu River, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

Chemosphere, 2004
The activity of fish monooxygenases has been extensively used as a monitoring tool to detect contamination of water bodies by cytochrome P450-inducing agents. In this study we evaluated the activities of ethoxy- (EROD), methoxy- (MROD) and pentoxy- (PROD) resorufin-O-dealkylases in the liver of Nile tilapias (Oreochromis niloticus) collected at the ...

Induced Cytochrome P450 1A Activity in Cichlid Fishes From Guandu River and Jacarepaguá Lake, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

Environmental Pollution, 2008
The induction of cytochrome P4501A-mediated activity (e.g. ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylation, EROD) has been used as a biomarker for monitoring fish exposure to AhR-receptor ligands such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxins/furans (PCDD/Fs).

Co-occurrence of muddy off flavor and cyanotoxin genes in the polluted Guandu river waters (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

Science of The Total Environment
The Guandu river basin is responsible for supplying Rio de Janeiro municipality, Brazil, with drinking water. This study investigated water quality during the geosmin crisis in January and March 2020, by relating the water quality and odor compounds with metagenomic tools. Guandu river water was eutrophic.
