Summary:
Paramyosin fibers were observed in newly born Gambusia affinis larvae. Extraction procedures specific for paramyosin apparently removed the protein as evidence by electron microscopic examination. Recrystallization and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis have identified the fibers as relatively homogenous paramyosin protein. The midstage embryo did not possess paramyosin fibers; however, the notochord and adjacent tissues were observed to be in a state of rapid protein synthesis. Mitochondrial association with nuclei and 'semi-rough' endoplasmic reticulum were seen. Mitochondria were shown to possess lamellar bodies, which may be a form of degeneration. Lamellar body formation observed in other species of animals is discussed.
