The exposure of clams to 1000 ppm strong oxidizing commercial germicide for 3 hours to reduce bacterial load did not modify the catalase activity in the midgut gland. Conversely, far lower germicide doses strongly affected the morphology and functionality of in vitro tested cultured haemocytes. The germicide treatment may be promising in vivo, in spite of its in vitro immunotoxicity.

Abstract
The exposure of clams to 1000 ppm strong oxidizing commercial germicide for 3 hours to reduce bacterial load did not modify the catalase activity in the midgut gland. Conversely, far lower germicide doses strongly affected the morphology and functionality of in vitro tested cultured haemocytes. The germicide treatment may be promising in vivo, in spite of its in vitro immunotoxicity.
