Earthworms produce a collagen-like substance detected by the garter snake vomeronasal system.
Earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) produce a chemical substance that is readily detected by and serves as an attractant for garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis). This chemoattractant is sensed by the vomeronasal system of snakes. Amino acid analysis of the chemoattractant revealed a high hydroxyproline/proline ratio and large amounts of serine and threonine. More than one-third of the residues we...
متن کاملStructures of the D-galactose oligosaccharides from earthworm cuticle collagen.
Earthworms have a thin layer of cuticle which covers the whole body and serves as a general protective function. This cuticle has the characteristic wide angle x-ray diffraction pattern of collagen (1, 2) and has an amino acid composition characteristic of collagen (3). Much of the dry weight of this cuticle can be extracted by neutral salt or weak acid and purified as a collagen (4, 5). Earthw...
متن کاملSoluble Earthworm Cuticle Collagen: a Possible Dimer of Tropocollagen
When soluble earthworm cuticle collagen molecules are subjected to the shearing forces of a flow birefringence instrument, they are broken into particles approximately half the original size. The broken particles resemble vertebrate tropocollagen molecules in their hydrodynamic properties, in levorotatory powers, and in their appearance in the electron microscope. Most significantly, the broken...
متن کاملReplacement of fish meal by earthworm meal (Eiseniafoetida) in Siberian Sturgeon (Acipenserbearii) diet and its effect on growth performance, feed efficiency and carcass composition
A 12-week feeding trial was carried out to assess the effect of fish meal replacement by earthworm meal (Eiseniafoetida) on growth performance, feed efficiency and carcass composition of Siberian sturgeon (Acipenserbaerii). Fish with mean weight 21.32 ± 1.91 (mean ± SD) were fed with five experimental diets which 0% (Control), 10% (EWM10), 20% (EWM20), 30% (EWM30) and 40% (EWM40) of fish meal p...
متن کاملThe multi-layered protective cuticle of Collembola: a chemical analysis.
Collembola, also known as springtails, are soil-dwelling arthropods that typically respire through the cuticle. To avoid suffocating in wet conditions, Collembola have evolved a complex, hierarchically nanostructured, cuticle surface that repels water with remarkable efficiency. In order to gain a more profound understanding of the cuticle characteristics, the chemical composition and architect...
متن کاملCuticle Structure in Relation to Chemical Composition: Re-assessing the Prevailing Model
The surface of most aerial plant organs is covered with a cuticle that provides protection against multiple stress factors including dehydration. Interest on the nature of this external layer dates back to the beginning of the 19th century and since then, several studies facilitated a better understanding of cuticular chemical composition and structure. The prevailing undertanding of the cuticl...
