Chitinase activity in the crystalline style of the american oyster Crassostrea virginica

1. 1. Presence of chitinase in Crassostrea virginica crystalline styles was established. 2. 2. Specific activity of chitinase tended to increase towards the anterior portion of the style. 3. 3. Chitinase activity was not stimulated by chitin additions to 1 μm filtered sea water. 4. 4. Kaolin additio...

Zusammenfassung:1. 1. Presence of chitinase in Crassostrea virginica crystalline styles was established. 2. 2. Specific activity of chitinase tended to increase towards the anterior portion of the style. 3. 3. Chitinase activity was not stimulated by chitin additions to 1 μm filtered sea water. 4. 4. Kaolin additions to the diet resulted in doubling chitinase specific activity.
