Comparative Analyses Reveal the Genetic Mechanism of Ambergris Production in the Sperm Whale Based on the Chromosome-Level Genome [PDF]
Animals, 2023 Sperm whales are a marine mammal famous for the aromatic substance, the ambergris, produced from its colon. Little is known about the biological processes of ambergris production, and this study aims to investigate the genetic mechanism of ambergris ...

Absorption spectra of sperm-whale ferrimyoglobin [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1966 1. Sperm-whale ferrimyoglobin was found to contain 0.308% of Fe, on a dry weight basis, corresponding to a molecular weight of 18130. The solid takes up moisture to an equilibrium state, and was then assayed to contain 0.280% of Fe. 2. Absorption spectra are presented for acidic ferrimyoglobin, Fe(+)(H(2)O), and its conjugate base, Fe-OH, as well as ...
