Reproductive potential of the earthworm Eisenia foetida

Oecologia, 1979
Regression equations are provided for the earthworm Eisenia foetida with respect to age at which 50% of the population became clitellate at 25° C in relation to population density in activated sludge and in horse manure. Regression equations are provided for progeny per cocoon versus weight of cocoon, and weight of cocoon in relation to weight of ...

Stereoselective accumulation and biotransformation of chiral fungicide epoxiconazole and oxidative stress, detoxification, and endogenous metabolic disturbance in earthworm (Eisenia foetida).

Science of the Total Environment, 2022
>80 % of applied pesticides in agriculture will enter the soil and be exposed to soil animals. Little is known about the stereoselective metabolic effects of epoxiconazole (EPO) on soil animals.

Detection of antigen in the coelomocytes of the earthworm, Eisenia foetida (Annelida)

Immunology Letters, 1991
Earthworms, Eisenia foetida, are able to respond to antigenic stimulation by the formation of the antigen-binding molecules by coelomocytes--the effector cells of annelids' defence reactions. The ability to react with gold-labelled antigen was detected in agranular coelomocytes by electron microscopy.

Mitogenicity of the earthworm's (eisenia foetida) insulin-like proteins

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1993
1. Biologically active glycolipoprotein complex (G-90), isolated from whole earthworm tissue extract (Eisenia foetida), was separated into seven fractions by gel-filtration. 2. It has been shown by radioimmunoassay that each of the fractions, except the lightest one, is cross-reactive with porcine anti-insulin antibodies.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT BY VERMICOMPOSTING USING EISENIA FOETIDA

Journal of Science Innovations and Nature of Earth, 2022
Using vermicomposting to treat biodegradable waste from a local hospital, this study aimed to develop a more environmental friendly way. The earthworm Eisenia foetida was culturing using a mixture of cattle manure and hospital/agro/kitchen waste.

Characteristics of cholinesterase of the earthworm Eisenia foetida

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1978
Abstract 1. Except for pH optimum, reactivation and “aging”, the results indicate that the ChE of Eisenia foetida is distinct from acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. 2. Propionylcholine was found to be a better substrate than acetylcholine, while butyrylcholine, benzoylcholine and acetyl-beta-methylcholine were found to be poor ...

Identification of a coelomic mitogenic factor in Eisenia foetida earthworm

Immunology Letters, 1999
Coelomic fluid of earthworms Eisenia foetida (Oligochaeta, Annelida) exerts a mitogenic activity on murine splenocytes. Total coelomic fluid was subjected to size-exclusion chromatography and a semi-purified mitogenic fraction (fraction 5) was isolated and further characterized. Both coelomic fluid and the semi-purified fraction 5 block concanavalin A (

Evaluation of the nutritional impact on the protein profile of the California red worm [Eisenia foetida]

Journal of Enviromental Sciences and Natural Resources
In this study, four diets for worms of the species Eisenia foetida were analyzed to increase their protein content for potential human consumption in the form of worm meal.

Hyperacute graft rejection inEisenia foetida typica andEisenia foetida unicolor

Experientia, 1975
Das Phanomen der hyperakuten Transplantat-Abstossung (innerhalb von 24 h) wurde bei Invertebraten untersucht. Diese rasche Abstossungsreaktion wird signifikant haufiger bei Allo- oder Xenoals bei Autotransplantationen beobachtet. Dies spricht fur das Vorliegen einer Inkompatibilitatsreaktion.
