Figure 11


Fig. 11. Activity of laminarinase (µmol reducing sugars produced min–1 ml–1) purified from the midgut glands of G. natalis ({blacksquare}) and C. destructor ({square}) with increasing concentrations of laminarin. Lines running through the data have been created after the data were fitted to the Michaelis–Menten enzyme kinetics model. Laminarinase from G. natalis had a Vmax of 42.04 µmol reducing sugars produced min–1 mg protein–1 and a Km of 0.1259% (w/v). Laminarinase from C. destructor had a Vmax of 19.6 µmol reducing sugars produced min–1 mg protein–1 and a Km of 0.059% (w/v).
