“…Several types of lysozymes have been described such as c-type (conventional or chicken-type), g-type (goose-type), and invertebrate-type lysozyme (i-type), T4 phage lysozyme, bacterial lysozyme, and plant-type lysozyme (Jiménez-Cantizano et al, 2008;Callewaert and Michiels, 2010;Buonocore et al, 2014). Only g-type and c-type lysozymes have been identified in several fish species (Jiménez-Cantizano et al, 2008;Saurabh and Sahoo, 2008;Buonocore et al, 2014;Mohapatra et al, 2019). In fish, lysozyme genes are expressed in cells of myeloid origin (Hall et al, 2007;Saurabh and Sahoo, 2008), and these are present in mucus, eggs, blood, and tissues with leukocytes (neutrophils, monocytes, and a small amount in macrophages) to defend against microorganisms, such as bacteria (Li et al, 2021;Murray and Fletcher, 1976).…”
