Such a number is valid for as large earthworms as
Lumbricus terrestris, which has, on average, 134.7 segments and 0.8 mm long chaetae (Wroot 1985), while the average wet weight is 2700-3000 mg (Carley 1978).
Based on the above explanation, the researchers aimed at determining the effect of earthworm (
Lumbricus rubellus) extract in decreasing ALT, AST, and invivo inhibition of S.typhimurium colonies.

Those earthworms most suited for nutrition studies are
Lumbricus rubellus and Eisenia foetida, the com--mon red worms used for fishing.
