Biochemical composition of prosobranch egg capsules

Biochemical composition, tissue origin and functional properties of egg perivitellins from Pomacea canaliculata.

Antimicrobial secondary metabolites from marine gastropod egg capsules and egg masses.

Marine organisms have attracted special attention in the last three decades for their ability to produce interesting pharmacological active compounds. Even though all marine organisms have the potential to produce antimicrobial secondary metabolites, the gastropod has the vital sources of secondary metabolites particularly their egg capsule which has the promising antimicrobial secondary metabo...

Amino acid composition of hen's egg.

I . Pooled samples of eggs from White Leghorn and New Hampshire hens given diets containing 110 and zoo g protein/kg were analysed for their content of essential amino acids. 2. The amino acid composition of the hen’s egg protein was not significantly affected by variations in breed and diet. 3. The estimated values for lysine, total sulphur-containing amino acids and tryptophan in egg protein ...

Structural Features of Cockroach Egg Capsules : II. The Ootheca of Cariblatta Lutea Lutea (Orthoptera: Blattidae)

Shields against ultraviolet radiation: an additional protective role for the egg capsules of benthic marine gastropods

While structurally complex benthic egg capsules can lower the vulnerability of gastropod embryos to a variety of environmental risks, including predation, desiccation, osmotic shock, and bacterial attack, little is known about their ability to shield embryos from ultraviolet radiation (UV) I examined the exposure of benthic egg capsules of the marine intertidal gastropod Nucella emarginata to s...
