Cyst membrane protein composition as a discriminant character in the genus Artemia. (Initernational study on Artemia LV)

摘要

Isolated embryonic membranes (i.e. the outer cuticular membrane, the fibrous layer, the inner cuticular membrane and the hatching membrane) and homogenates of incu- bated, decapsulated cysts of 16 populations from five Artemia species (Crustacea, Anostraca) were examined by sodium dodecyl-sulphate polycrylamide gel electrophoresis. Charac- teristic differences in major polypeptides between 45 and 205 kD were seen.
