Pigment chemistry. LC-MS analysis of pigment extracted from spines of control and FMO3-null animals reveal that the ratios of each pigment expressed in spines changes dramatically when FMO3 is absent. The pigment changes and resulting purple color are consistent with the purple variant in a recent study of diversity of pigments in a different sea urchins, E. mateai.
