Figure 2

Ultrastructural changes in the hepatopancreas of B. aeruginosa exposed to the suspension of M. aeruginosa and mixed algae, respectively. (a) Cellular junctions of the control group (yellow arrow), 60000x. (b) The dilation of intercellular space in the cyanobacterial group at 10 days postexposure (yellow arrow), 60000x. (c) The recovery hepatocyte in the mixed group after 10 days of detoxification (yellow arrow), 60000x. (d) Lipids (yellow star) and glycogen (yellow arrow) of control snail, 50000x. (e) The presence of lipofuscins in the cyanobacterial group after the detoxification (yellow arrow), 15000x. (f) The presence of apoptotic body in the cyanobacterial group after the intoxication, 15000x.
