Insilico Study of Earthworm CCF1 Peptides in Earthworm

International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics, 2020
The earthworms are known to possess a robust immune system that can combat pollutants and pathogens to which they are constantly exposed in their environment (Ghosh in Environ Sci Pollut Res 25:6196, 2018). Amongst the different components of its immune system, the coelomic cytolytic factor (CCF-1), is an important molecule that plays active role in ...

Earthworm Immunity

2010
Earthworms belonging to oligochaete annelids became a model for comparative immunologists in the early sixties with the publication of results from transplantation experiments that proved the existence of self/nonself recognition in earthworms. This initiated extensive studies on the earthworm immune mechanisms that evolved to prevent the invasion of ...

Electrobioluminescence of an earthworm

Bioelectrochemistry and Bioenergetics, 1984
Abstract A programmed electrical pulse stimulation of an earthworm ( Lampito mauritii ) produces a bioluminescence with an average photon output of 3.2 × 10 15 ; this output is proportional to the input voltage. The bioluminescence lasts for periods up to 8.0 s. The threshold and breakdown voltages for the luminescence are in the range of 2.0 to 10 V,

Lethal Toxicity and Sublethal Metabolic Interference Effects of Sulfoxaflor on the Earthworm ( Eisenia fetida).

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2018
Testing for effects of pesticides on nontarget organisms is an integral part of ecological risk assessment. In the present study, the acute toxicity of sulfoxaflor to earthworms was evaluated using an artificial soil toxicity test, and sublethal effects ...

The Anatomy of the Earthworm

Journal of Cell Science
ABSTRACT In the last number of this Journal the tegumentary, muscular, and digestive organs of the earthworm were briefly described, the form and structure of certain œsophageal appendages being more particularly noticed. The following pages will be devoted to the consideration of the Reproductive system, and of such secreting organs as ...
