    摘要 Ai翻译

    The white colour of the cyst wall of the metacercaria of Microphallus sp., even in the presence of dihydroxy phenol and phenoloxidase, is due to proteins generated through a possible quinone methide interaction. The quinone methide isomerase converts the phenoloxidase mediated quinone into beta-hydroxy catechol. Formation of catechol from quinone by cyst extracts was observed spectrophotometrically and chromatographically. This enzyme is involved in detoxification of excess quinone and beta-sclerotization of the cyst wall.

    Keywords:quinone methide; isomerase; microphallus sp.
