DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.117351
Abstract: It is estimated that approximately 0.4% of the total leachate produced in a landfill is destined for treatment plants, while the rest can reach the soil and groundwater. In this context, this study aimed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0191711
Abstract: Lumbricid earthworms Eisenia andrei (Ea) and E. fetida (Ef) are simultaneous hermaphrodites with reciprocal insemination capable of self-fertilization while the existence of hybridization of these two species was still debatable. During the present investigation fertile… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0235789
Abstract: Eisenia andrei (Ea) and E. fetida (Ef) lumbricid earthworms are simultaneous hermaphrodites potentially capable of self-fertilization and hybridization. We have shown previously that reproductive isolation in these species is incomplete in Ea and Ef earthworms… read more here.

Arginase Activity in Eisenia andrei Coelomocytes: Function in the Earthworm Innate Response
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "International Journal of Molecular Sciences"
DOI: 10.3390/ijms22073687
Abstract: Arginase is the manganese metalloenzyme catalyzing the conversion of l-arginine to l-ornithine and urea. In vertebrates, arginase is involved in the immune response, tissue regeneration, and wound healing and is an important marker of alternative… read more here.
