Silk cocoon (Bombyx mori): multi-layer structure and mechanical properties.
Bombyx mori cocoon is a natural composite made of silk fibre with a distinctive multi-layer structure that provides mechanical protection for its biological functions. Here we investigate the components, structure and mechanical properties of cocoon layers, and quantify the contributions of the multi-layer structure to the mechanical properties of cocoon. A better understanding of the multi-lay...
متن کاملComparative Proteome Analysis of Multi-Layer Cocoon of the Silkworm, Bombyx mori
Bombyx mori cocoon has a multi-layer structure that provides optimal protection for silkworm pupa. Research on the mechanical properties of the multi-layer structure revealed structure-property relationships of the cocoon. Here, we investigated the protein components of the B. mori cocoon in terms of its multi-layer structure. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry identified 286 protei...
متن کاملWild Silkworm Cocoon Contains More Metabolites Than Domestic Silkworm Cocoon to Improve Its Protection
The silk of silkworm consists of fibroin fiber coated by sericins. In addition, some nonprotein components were also identified in the sericin fraction. The presence of nonprotein components in the silk has not been well explained. In the present study, methods based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were used to identify the metabolites in the cocoon silk from a wild silkworm and two dom...
متن کاملCocoon Parameters in the Silkworm, Bombyx Mori on Exposure to Trace Element and Nutrients
The present study has been aimed at investigating various Economic Parameters of the silkworm cocoon, when fed on mulberry leaves fortified with selected trace element Zinc, vitamin, Pyridoxine and hormone, Methoprene. The experimental worms were divided in to four groups and fed with mulberry leaves soaked in the selected compounds i.e. Zinc chloride, Pyridoxine, Methoprene and with Mixed dose...
متن کاملEFFECT OF BLUE GREEN MICRO ALGAE (SPIRULINA) ON COCOON QUANTITATIVE PARAMETERS OF SILKWORM (Bombyx mori L.)
Spirulina is blue-green micro algae. It contains 18 amino acids and vital vitamins like biotin, tocopherol, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, pyrodozoic acid, beta-carotene and vitamin B12 etc. These nutrients which are very easy to digest protein (biliprotein), carbohydrates (mucopolysaccharides, rhamnose and glycogen), 50 different minerals and trace minerals, beta-carotene, chlorophy...
