Phosphagen heterogeneity during reproductive cycle in the lugworm Arenicola marina

Our results focused on a further distribution of phosphagens in Annelida. During the reproductive cycle of the lugworm Arenicola marina the phosphagen system changes completely: spermatozoa contain the phosphocreatine system, adults the phosphotaurocyamine system. Surprisingly, in oocytes we found b...

Summary:Our results focused on a further distribution of phosphagens in Annelida. During the reproductive cycle of the lugworm Arenicola marina the phosphagen system changes completely: spermatozoa contain the phosphocreatine system, adults the phosphotaurocyamine system. Surprisingly, in oocytes we found both phosphagen systems.
