“…Little is known about the composition of Flatworm mucus except that it contains carbohydrates and that ca. 11% of its dry weight is made up of various proteins, including potent enzymes [26, 27]. While the proteinaceous nature of the mucus of P. tenuis could not be confirmed, the detection of glycoconjugates suggested that the mucus provides a relevant resource for bacterial growth and for the establishment of a food web.…”

“…Se pudo demostrar que más del 98 % del volumen de las secreciones estaba constituido de agua sublimable y de una mínima cantidad de producto liofilizado, entre 6 y 38 mg por muestra colectada, sea de pie (5 ml) o de dorso (2.5 ml) respectivamente, lo que demuestra que las secreciones del dorso son como 6 veces más ricas en masa liofilizable que las del pie, aunque está entendido que algo de sólidos se pierden cuando se remueven los cristales de agua. Porcentajes más o menos similares han sido reportados en la composición de otras secreciones como en las de Lehmannia valentiana, igualmente en las secreciones de otros gastrópodos o en la de algunos gusanos (9,13,14,16).…”
