A histochemical study of acid mucopolysaccharides in the gills of the eel Anguilla anguilla (L.)

Abstract

In this histochemical study the occurrence and distribution of acid mucopolysaccharides in the gills of the eel Anguilla anguilla (L.) have been determined and their differentiation into acid mucopolysaccharides containing carboxyl groups and those containing sulphate groups has been carried out.
