Abstract

The cells of mandibular organs of female Libinia emarginata exhibit changes in substructure during molting and vitellogenesis. The cytoplasm is that of a steroid‐hormone producing cell. The cells do not appear to produce ecdysones.

Using two-step reverse phase HPLC, we isolated and purified three peptides with mandibular organ inhibiting hormone (MO-IH) activity from the spider crab Libinia emarginata. One of the peptides, P22, gave a yield of 355 ng/SG. The others gave lower yields: P21, 9 ng/SG; P25, 67.5 ng/SG. The molecul
