Digestion in Parasitic Nematodes. 1. The Digestion of Carbohydrates

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 November 2009

Hackett Student, University of Western Australia, at the Department of Parasitology, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

Extract

Amylolytic enzymes have been extracted from the intestines and contents of Strongylus edentatus and Ascaris lumbricoides (pig strain). The saccharogenic and amyloclastic actions of these enzymes have been examined in relation to the salts present and hydrogen ion concentration.
