The distribution of Zn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Mn, Cd, and Pb in subcellular fractions, and of Cd, Zn, and Cu in cytoplasm proteins of the kidney and digestive gland of the mussels Crenomytilus grayanus and Modiolus modiolus, sampled from contaminated and conditionally clean areas, was studied. It was found that, in a contaminated environment, the organs of mussels were more highly enriched with metals. It was shown that essential trace elements were accumulated mostly in the cytosol of organs of both molluscan species from contaminated areas, whereas in the background areas the trace elements were associated mostly with membrane structures in Gray's mussel, C. grayanus, and with the cytosol in M. modiolus, the northern horse mussel. The lead was bound mostly to membrane structures in organs of both mussel species at all stations. The method of gel chromatography enabled us to isolate metallothionein-like proteins from the kidney of the northern horse mussel sampled in contaminated areas, whereas their concentration in the kidney of Gray's mussels was lower than the limiting error of the method. It is supposed that in the kidney of Gray's mussel the synthesis of metallothionein-like proteins was quenched by the integrated effect of the accumulated metals.
