Abstract
In freshly laid egg masses of Helisoma sp., more than 95 percent of the phosphorus is found in alkylphosphonic acids, as determined by phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These compounds are metabolized during embryonic development, as shown by differential acid hydrolysis and experiments with phosphorus-33-labeled phosphoric acid. Further, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy indicates phosphonic acid involvement in related snail families, including the schistosomal vector Biomphalaria glabrata.
