Gill cells and hemocytes from the blue mussel Mytilus edulis were examined for DNA damage using the comet assay after laboratory exposure in vitro and in vivo to methyl methansulfonate (MMS). Hydrogen peroxide and UV radiation were used as positive control. Comet assay was also carried out on hemocytes from blue mussels sampled at polluted and unpolluted coastal areas. After 60 min in vitro exposure of gill cells to MMS, the highest response, a tail moment of 6.70+/-4.25, was obtained at 1.0 mg/L. At higher doses the response decreased. After 2 days in vivo exposure a dose response was seen at concentrations between 1.0 and 33.0 mg/L MMS for both gill cells and hemocytes. However, after 4 days in vivo exposure using the same concentrations of MMS, a maximum effect was seen at a 10 times lower concentration of 3.3 mg/L. At the higher doses, the effect decreased. Hemocytes from blue mussels sampled at four polluted sites in Koge Bay had a great variation in tail moments with the highest value of 5.38 +/- 4.39. The average of all samples from Koge Bay had tail moments of 2.75 +/- 1.00 (n = 19), which was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than the average, 1.72 +/- 1.16 (n = 10), of samples from unpolluted coastal waters.
