Evidence of the Presence of Thyroid Hormones in Achatina fulica Snails.
The objective of this study was to identify thyroid hormones and to examine their putative site of synthesis in Achatina fulica snails. For this purpose, radioimmunoassays were performed for T3 and T4 before and after long starvation with or without hemolymph deproteinization. Sodium/iodide symporter activity in vivo was analyzed through 125I administration with and without KClO4 pretreatment. ...
متن کاملA new glycosaminoglycan from the giant African snail Achatina fulica.
A new glycosaminoglycan has been isolated from the giant African snail Achatina fulica. This polysaccharide had a molecular weight of 29,000, calculated based on the viscometry, and a uniform repeating disaccharide structure of -->4)-2-acetyl,2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranose (1-->4)-2-sulfo-alpha-L-idopyranosyluronic acid (1-->. This polysaccharide represents a new, previously undescribed glycosam...
متن کاملGiant African snail, Achatina fulica, as a snail predator
Individuals of Achatina fulica (Bowdich, 1822) were observed preying on veronicellid slugs at two sites on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. As such, the presence of A. fulica may pose a greater threat to terrestrial mollusc conservation than previously imagined. It is our hope that this note provides some impetus for other researchers to explore the possible predation impacts of introduced populatio...
متن کاملStimulation of Shell Regeneration by Crude Extract of Subesophaqeal Ganglionic Mass in Giant African Snails, Achatina fulica (Bowdich)
The distribution of cells that stained positively with paraldehyde fuchsin (PAF) and negatively with chrome-hematoxylin phloxine (CH) in the subesophageal ganglionic mass of Achatina fulica has been mapped. The PAF-positive cells occur in the visceral ganglion, each cell contains electron-dense elementary granules of 1,300 Angstrom in diameter. From serial section, it showed that the PAF-positi...
متن کاملIsolation of aerobic cultivable cellulolytic bacteria from different regions of the gastrointestinal tract of giant land snail Achatina fulica
The enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose by cellulases is one of the major limiting steps in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to yield bioethanol. To overcome this hindrance, significant efforts are underway to identify novel cellulases. The snail Achatina fulica is a gastropod with high cellulolytic activity, mainly due to the abundance of glycoside hydrolases produced by both the animal...
