Comparison of external characteristics and crude venom composition of five species of vermivorous cone snails. (a) External characteristics of common vermivorous cone snails found in the South China Sea. From left to right: C. generalis, C. caracteristicus, C. betulinus, C. quercinus, and C. tesselatus. (b) Schematic representation of venom tube dissection for the five species of cone snail. From top to bottom: venom glands and ducts of C. generalis, C. caracteristicus, C. betulinus, C. quercinus, and C. tesselatus. (c) SDS-PAGE analysis of crude venom from the five species of cone snail. M indicates the standard marker. Lanes 1–5 correspond to the crude venom of C. tesselatus, C. caracteristicus, C. quercinus, C. betulinus, and C. generalis, respectively, with a loading volume of 10 μL. (d) RP-HPLC analysis of crude venom from the five species of cone snail.
