摘要
1. 1. Fifteen amino acids were present in the periostracum of each of twenty-seven species of gastropods and bivalves. 2. 2. Glycine usually accounted for 40 per cent or more of the amino acids of the periostracum of marine and fresh-water bivalves and of fresh-water and terrestrial gastropods. 3. 3. The periostracum of marine gastropods has less glycine and higher ranges of lysine, arganine, aspartic acid and serine than that of fresh-water species. 4. 4. The amino acid composition of Potamopyrgus periostracum was altered by culturing in different salinities. 5. 5. Electron microscopic examination of the periostracum of twelve genera of gastropods showed that fresh-water species had two layers, terrestrial species had a single layer and marine species had a single or incomplete layer. © 1969.
