The intestinal microbiota of the edible snails Cornu aspersum fSyn: H. aspersa), and Helix pomatia were investigated by culture-based methods, 16S rRNA sequence analyses and phenotypic characterisations. The study was carried out on aestivating snails and two populations of H. pomatia were considered. The cultivable bacteria dominated in the distal part of the intestine, with up to 5.10(9) CFU ...

The properties of cellulases from Helix pomatia have been studied by many workers, including Seilliere (1906), Karrer, Schubert & Wehrli (1925), Karrer & Schubert (1926, 1928) and de Stevens (1955). Cellulolytic enzymes have also been found in other invertebrates, such as Teredo (Greenfield, 1955) and Ctenolep8ima lineata (Lasker & Giese, 1956), and in a wide range ofmicro-organisms which inclu...

Heliculture (also sometimes called heliculture or simply snail farming) is the human activity of collecting, breeding, and growing edible species land snails for food cosmetic purposes. The meat caviar are eaten, mucus used as a cosmetic. Breeding in artificial conditions profitable business that few people know about which can bring lot pleasure good income. In our country, exotic, many Europe...

Abstract The paper reports authors’ experience of implementing educational projects in a computer modelling course offered to the students majoring “Secondary Education (Computer Science)” at Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University. We analyze approaches teaching mathematical and such as: integration tasks, naturalistic case study, using role-playing games, possibilities STEM...

The article considers and studies the need to find develop new sources of protein, as well biologically active substances, methods their production processing, used both for obtaining livestock products in other areas human economic activity. One most promising is snail farming, represented by edible species land snails. This covers development a method type raw material from Helix pomatia (gra...
