Histological and Histochemical Study of Byssus Gland in Mytilus Viridis
Abstract: Histochemical localization of proteins, certain important amino acids like tyrosine tryptophan, and amino acids containing –S–S– and NH2 groups, lipids (free, bound and unsaturated) and carbohydrates (simple as well as conjugated) was done to find out the nature of byssus secreted by the foot gland. This study gave an insight into the mechanism of secretion of different components of byssus by different types of gland cells. The gland is exocrine …
