Abstract
The major water-soluble constituent of the defensive secretion of Eurycotis decipiens was identified as gluconic acid, isolated in the form of calcium D-gluconate. The acid, in equilibrium with its lactones, is present in unusually high concentration.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
