Accumulation of methylmercury in the earthworm, Eisenia foetida, and its effect on regeneration.
The environmental contaminants mercury and methylmercury cause teratogenic, nervous, and renal damage in mammals (Venugopal and Luckey 1978). Methylmercury interferes with the normal development of tadpoles (Chang et al. 1974) and with the regeneration of fins in fish (Weis and Weis 1978) and limbs in crabs (Callahan and Weis 1983). Because mercury is highly toxic, it has been measured in a wid...

متن کاملGrowth and Reproduction of Eisenia Foetida in Various Animal Wastes during Vermicomposting
The effect of various animal wastes on growth and reproduction of an epigeic earthworm Eisenia foetida was studied under identical laboratory conditions. For each waste, viz., cow, buffalo, horse, donkey, sheep, goat and camel, five hatchlings per 100 g of waste were inoculated and monitored for biomass gain, mortality, sexual maturity, cocoons production periodically for 15 weeks. No mortality...
متن کاملSome Observations on the Fine Structure of the Giant Nerve Fibers of the Earthworm, Eisenia foetida
Sectioned dorsal giant fibers of the earthworm Eisenia foetida have been studied with the electron microscope. The giant axon is surrounded by a Schwannian sheath in which the lamellae are arranged spirally. They can be traced from the outer surface of the Schwann cell to the axon-Schwann membranes. Irregularities in the spiral arrangement are frequently observed. Desmosome-like attachment area...
متن کاملThe Fine Structure of Some Blood Vessels of the Earthworm, Eisenia foetida
The fine structure of the main dorsal and ventral circulatory trunks and of the subneural vessels and capillaries of the ventral nerve cord of the earthworm, Eisenia foetida, has been studied with the electron microscope. All of these vessels are lined internally by a continuous extracellular basement membrane varying in thickness (0.03 to 1 micro) with the vessel involved. The dorsal, ventral,...
