Anaerobic Glycolysis in Parts of the Giant Axon of Squid

Nature volume 210, pages 856–857 (1966)Cite this article

Abstract

THE giant axon of the squid, Loligo pealii, after careful dissection and removal of auxiliary fibres, can be separated into mitochondrion-poor axoplasm and the relatively mitochondrion-rich envelope1 (axonal membrane plus Schwann cell plus associated cell-wall material) by the simple mechanical operation of extruding the axoplasm by rolling2,3.
