Abstract:
In order to compare and objectively evaluate the cellulase activity in different intestinal segments, the activity of three types of cellulase in three segments (foregut, midgut, hindgut) of C
yrtotrachelus bugueti adult were measured at different pH and temperatures. The results showed that (1) there was a complete enzyme system in the intestinal tract of C.
bugueti adults; (2) the C
X enzyme in the foregut of C.
bugueti adults had a wider adaptive range of temperature and pH, and had greater stability; (3) the optimal temperature (T) was 50~70 ℃, and the optimal pH was 6~8. No enzyme activity was detected under high temperature and strong alkali conditions, and C
1 enzyme in the foregut had the maximum enzyme activities of 0.0349 mol·Min
−1·Mg
−1 (pH=3, T=40 ℃) compared with the other two segments; (4) the adaptation range of C
1 enzyme in the midgut was much larger than that of the other two segments. The optimum temperature was 30~70 ℃ and the optimum pH was 5~8. No enzyme activitiy was detected under strong acid and strong alkali conditions; (5) the optimum temperature range of the three enzymes in hindgut was 30~50 ℃, and the optimal pH range was 5~8, which was narrower than the optimal temperature and pH range of foregut and midgut of C.
