Lactic acid microflora of the gut of snailCornu aspersum [PDF]
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2014 The intestinal lactic acid microflora of the edible snail Cornu aspersum was studied by culture-based methods and was phenotypically and molecularly characterized. The antibacterial activity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolates was investigated. Snails in different stages of development were collected from farms located in several regions of Bulgaria.

Responsiveness of metallothionein and hemocyanin genes to cadmium and copper exposure in the garden snailCornu aspersum [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2020 AbstractTerrestrial gastropods express metal‐selective metallothioneins (MTs) by which they handle metal ions such as Zn2+, Cd2+, and Cu+/Cu2+through separate metabolic pathways. At the same time, they depend on the availability of sufficient amounts of Cu as an essential constituent of their respiratory protein, hemocyanin (Hc).
