During the course of an investigation of the gill of the shrimp, Caridfna, a specific kind of differentiation of the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulure was observed. It is represented by two apposed, fused cisternae which have bifaciaI, granular, and agranular, profiles. With progress in electron microscopy a number of important observations have been made on the differentiation of the bio...

BACKGROUND Whole mitochondrial DNA is being increasingly utilized for comparative genomic and phylogenetic studies at deep and shallow evolutionary levels for a range of taxonomic groups. Although mitogenome sequences are deposited at an increasing rate into public databases, their taxonomic representation is unequal across major taxonomic groups. In the case of decapod crustaceans, several inf...

The deacetylated form of chitin presents enormous areas application. research work was aimed at the production polymer film by extraction chitosan from Lentinus squarrosulus (mushroom) and Caridina africana (shrimp) using a chemical process involving deproteinisation, demineralisation, deacetylation. two samples were thoroughly washed with distilled water to remove impurities, then dried room t...
