Figure 1. Chemical pathways for the production of indigoid dyes, beginning with the precursors of the molluscan glandular se-cretions. a be Figure 2. Principal Mediterranean molluscan species, yielding 6, 6'-dibromoindigotin (DBI) and related indigoids:(a) M. truncuius;(b) M. brandaris; and (c) P. haemastoma. Reprinted from Besnier, M. Dictionnaire des antiquites grecques et romaines; Daremberg, C., Saglio, E., Eds.; Hachette: Paris, 1877-1919; Vol. 4, p 770, Fig. 5887. needed to produce 1 g of the dye. 4 5-6 The mollusks occur worldwide, including the Medi-terranean Sea and the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and the chemistry of the dye precursors has been shown to be similar in many respects for the various species. 4 Since the mollusks were a common food source, the unusual and intense coloration of the secretions and their suitability fordyeing would have been readily
