Fig. 1. DEAE anion exchange chromatography of the dialysed protein fraction derived
from the midgut gland of G. natalis that was precipitated by ammonium
sulphate at concentrations between 30 and 60% saturation. Protein content
(
; mg protein ml–1) and endo-β-1,4-glucanase
() and laminarinase (
) activities (µmol reducing sugars
produced min–1 ml–1) in the collected
fractions.
