Title: Isolation and purification of the molting hormones from the american lobster (Homarus americanus)
Abstract: 1. A detailed procedure for the isolation of molting hormones from a lobster is described. 2. Ecdysterone has been isolated from postmolt adult female lobsters. This molting hormone by itself, or in combination with other ecdysones, plays a major role in the molting process of the lobster. 3. Lobsters and other members of their class differ in the physiology of their molting glands. This difference is not reflected in the molting hormone chemistry of the lobster, either in its structure or biosynthesis.
