title: Glutamine and asparagine synthesis in the nematodes Heligmosomoides polygyrus and Panagrellus redivivus.
abstract: Low levels of glutamine synthetase were demonstrated in Panagrellus redivivus and Heligmosomoides polygyrus. Asparagine synthetase was detected in P. redivivus but activity was too low to be detected in H. polygyrus.
