| Abstract: | Summary The yellow-brown pigment present in the sensory cells ofAplysia limacina was studied using light and electron microscopy. The ultrastructure, the high carotenoid content and the presence in neurons for which a turnover process has been hypothesized, indicate that these pigments are cytosomes, organelles involved in the production of energy in anaerobiosis.This investigation was conducted at the Zoological Station of Naples. |
