Popis: The present study deals with phagocytic blood cells of 3 species of freshwater snails and one terrestrial snail species. Histochemical tests on peroxidase indicate that the blood cells of the freshwater snails have high peroxidase contents, whereas those of the terrestrial snail do not contain this enzyme. Peroxidases were not only present in the lysosomal system but also in the RER and Golgi apparatus. It appears that the phagocytic blood cells of freshwater snails are able to synthesize peroxidase.
