Abstract
Experiments previously reported (1) have shown that the eggs of the Pacific marine worm, Urechis caupo, contain a reversible oxidation-reduction pigment. The pigment, called urechrome, is autoxidizable and changes color from red to yellow on oxidation. It is soluble in water (reduced form insoluble below pH 5) and in acidified methanol, but insoluble in ether, acetone, chloroform, and neutral alcohol. Evidence for participation of the pigment in cellular respiration has been previously given.
