Abstract
Incorporations of 14C-glycine into the protein moiety of deoxyribonucleoprotein, that of ribonucleoprotein and soluble protein of Mytilus gill showed a lag phase for about 30 minutes which was due to exchange of glycine bound to each protein fraction with that in the pool. The method to isolate cilia from gill tissues was reported and it was shown that the metabolic activity of ciliary protein was much greater than those of deciliated gill protein and gill actomyousin.
