Abstract

Histochemical observations have been made on the localization and distribution pattern of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) in the lymphatic system of Ceylonocotyle scoliocoelium by employing tetrazolium nitro BT. The enzyme activity appeared in the form of diformazon granules which are believed to consist of mitochondrial aggregates. It is further suggested that this enzyme helps in the transportation of the metabolites. This is the first report of SDH in the lymph channels involving transportation.
