The acanthocephalan parasite, Polymorphus minutus, has been found to excrete radioactive lactic and succinic acid, and a small amount of radioactive, volatile material when incubated with [U-14C]-glucose under conditions designed to simulate those in vivo. The acids were identified by paper and gas chromatography, and the identity of succinic acid was confirmed with an enzyme preparation.
