(20) A tetrodonic acid-like substance which was hardly distinguishable from authentic tetrodonic acid in thin-layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, etc., was successfully purified from the ribbon worm and flatworm by a method consisting mainly of Bio-Gel P-2 column chromatography.
Turbellarian
Definition:
(n.) One of the Turbellaria. Also used adjectively.
Example Sentences:
(1) This means that the initial forms belonged to advanced turbellarians rather than to primitive ones.
