Ultrastructural changes in the hepatopancreas of B. aeruginosa exposed to the suspension of M. aeruginosa and mixed algae, respectively. (a) rER of control snail, 60000x. (b) The swelling and degranulation of rER in the mixed group at 15 days postexposure, 40000x. (c) The fragmentation of rER in the mixed group at 15 days postexposure, 40000x. (d) The whirling of rER (yellow arrow) in the mixed group at 10 days postexposure, 40000x. (e) The recovery of rER in the cyanobacterial group after 10 days of detoxification, 50000x.
