We discovered diverse peptidases and lipases in the intestine of the gastropod Pomacea canalicutala, which could be a useful platform to evaluate natural inhibitors to control this invasive species. Abstract Background The invasive gastropod Pomacea canaliculata has received great attention in the last decades as a result of its negative impact on ...
