S. T.Somasundaram, A. Dey and A. Subramanian

Abstract

Histochemical analyses of sulphated polysaccharides were made in mantle, palp, foot, gill and adductor muscle of the  blood clam Anadara rhombea . Specific staining procedures such as PAS, alcian blue pH 2.5 and 1.0, aldehyde fuchsin, combined alcainblu pH 2.5/PAS, alcain blue pH 1.0/PAS, aldehyde fuchsin/alcain blue pH 2.5 were followed. The mantle, palp, foot, gill and adductor muscle have contained PAS positive, sulphated acid polysaccharides.
