Description Further analyses of the amino acid composition of protein hydrolysates of Neomysis
integer has confirmed the importance of glutamic, aspartic, lysine, leucine and arginine
(in that descending order) in both ovigerous females and less mature animals. Mesopodopsis
slabberi closely resembles Neomysis in its amino acid composition. Sagitta setosa
shows considerable similarity to the mysids in its protein amino, acids but alanine replaces
leucine in importance. There is a somewhat larger concentration of glycine
( ~ 7%) and of histidine(~ 5%) among the less important amino acids. Despite the low
level of protein in Pleurobrachia pileus, the pattern of amino acids shows considerable
resemblance to the other planktonic species but glycine occurs in greater concentration
than leucine or arginine
