Tubulanus punctatus

The occurrence of TTX in flatworm led scientists to extensive studies on nemertines, resulting in detection of TTX for the first time in two species of ribbon worm Linens fuscoviridis and Tubulanus punctatus, with the highest score of 503 and 540 MU/g, respectively (Miyazawa et al., 1988). In addition to TTX, toxic TDA-like substance was detected from these ribbon worms. Kem (1976) isolated four polypeptides from the toxic ribbon worm Cere-bratulus lacteus that showed a selective toxicity variety of animals, suggesting that the toxin is also used for a defensive purpose. Subsequently, the toxic mucus secretion of C. lacteus was shown to consist of cytotoxins and neurotoxins (Kem and Blumental, 1978). [Pg.172]
