The bromotyrosine-containing extract isolated from skeleton of I. flabelliformis (A) is one of the sources of pharmacologically relevant reagents. The dark-reddish color of chitinous skeletal fibers (B) is determined by the presence of pigmental cells, or spherulocites (C), special chitin-associated bromotyrosine-producing cells (arrows).
