Abstract
The previously reported adverse effects of streptomycin on Australorbis glabratus were reduced or reversed by the presence in aquaria of commercial potting soil or calcium ion, but not by magnesium ion. One chelating agent, and the majority of 21 antibiotics tested had no detectable effects on A. glabratus. The remaining antibiotics (neomycin, pleocidin, patulin, nystatin, and an experimental antibiotic) induced streptomycin-like behavioral reactions in the snails, and/or proved lethal at very low concentrations.
