The preceding discussion has placed emphasis on the role of lipid in the sequestering of essentially hydrophobic xenobiotics in biota. It should, however, be noted that other biomolecules may be involved. For example, in a microcosm study using relatively high concentrations of 14C-labeled trifluo-roacetate, it was shown that in leaves of jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), in oli-gochaetes, and in the microbial flora the substrate was distributed more extensively in protein than in lipid (Standley and Bott 1998). It seems plausible to attribute these results to specific reaction with amino acid side chains in the proteins.
