POLYPHENOL OXIDASE ACTIVITY AND PIGMENTATION IN SNAIL TISSUES

JACK W. DAUGHERTY 1

1 The Rice Institute, Houston, Texas and The U. S. Army Tropical Research Medical Laboratory, San Juan, Puerto Rico

A study was made on the polyphenol oxidase activity of snail tissues. The liver showed higher activity than either the mantle or foot; however, even in this organ only polyhydric phenols were effectively oxidized. No consistent activity on monophenol substrates was found. The possible association of the polyphenol oxidase system to the heavy pigmentations in the liver was discussed.
