Ultrastructural Studies on Byssus Gland Cells of Mytilus Viridis through Transmission Electron Microscopy

Abstract

TEM of byssus gland cells reveal unique vesicles at various stages of development and coalescence. The cell shows a distinct nucleus as well as other cell organelles viz. mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. Golgi body could be seen, but what was more interesting was that there are numerous secretory granules which when seen under higher magnification show fibrous structures. Moreover those vesicles that burst were surrounded by fibrous material; this can be accounted to be protein of byssus. Rough ER was not seen.
