Abstract
Earthworms are the first annulated coelomate organism with haemoglobin in the plasma as carrier of oxygen and carbon dioxide. They have the antimicrobial activity against the disease causing micro organisms. In the present study antibacterial activity of earthworm coelomic fluid Lampito mauritii were confinedagainst disease causing micro organisms through the inhibition zone formation by well diffusion method as well as disc diffusion method.
Highlights
Earthworms are natural invertebrates of agro ecosystem belonging to the Phylum Annelida, and dominant in the temperate and tropical soils
In the present study antibacterial activity of earthworm coelomic fluid Lampito mauritii were confined against disease causing micro organisms through the inhibition zone formation by well diffusion method as well as disc diffusion method
The present study of earthworm antibacterial activity is conducted in the peregrine species Lampito mauritii
Summary
Earthworms are natural invertebrates of agro ecosystem belonging to the Phylum Annelida, and dominant in the temperate and tropical soils They are the first group of multicellular eucoelomate invertebrates to have succeeded to inhabit terrestrial environment (Kale and Karmegam, 2010). Earthworms, as ecosystem engineers, play an important role in many soil ecosystems and are one of the numerous ranges of burrowing organisms, which improve soils (Lavelle, 1997). Due to their relatively large size and characteristic feeding behaviour, certain species have significant impacts on soil structure, soil fertility, plant growth and crop yields. The present study of earthworm antibacterial activity is conducted in the peregrine species Lampito mauritii
