Study of the Effect of the Earthworm (Aporrectodea molleri) Cutaneous Excreta on Bacterial Growth

Table 1

Variations in fresh weight (FWEW1,2) and yields before stimulation.

Earthworm stateFresh weight (g)Yield (%)

Before fastingFWEW1: 843.6100
After fasting, before stimulationFWEW2: 506.1660

The excreta yield is evaluated from the quantity of worms resulting from the prestimulation step (FWEW2).
