title: Metabolism of phenol in the terrestrial snail Cepaea nemoralis L.
abstract: 1. The metabolism of phenol in the terrestrial snail Cepaea nemoralis was studied after injection into the haemocoel of the dorsolateral foot region. 2. Excreted metabolites, and metabolites extracted from the body, were analysed by h.p.l.c. In addition to phenyl beta-D-glucoside, arbutine (quinol beta-D-glucoside), a new conjugate of phenol, was detected.
