Wafa. A. Alshehri
Abstract :
<p>Aim of this study: Identify enzymes present in an herbivore and carnivore gastropod. Identify the digestive enzymes present in slugs, representative of the herbivore gastropod.Methodology: Bicinchoninic acid protein assay done to identify protein enzymes in two groups of samples. Purified pectinase identified using the pectinase assay. Protein assays include BCA plate assay and pectinase assay.Results: Findings of this study would reveal significantly high levels of purified pectinase in slug samplesConclusion: The types of enzymes present in the gastropod samples would be consistent to their feeding habit and activity</p>
