Abstract: | Effect of temperature on activities of proteinases in intestinal chyme and mucosa was studied in three fish species (pike-perch, zope, roach) belonging to different ecological groups by their type of feeding. There was revealed a significant difference of dependence of enzyme activities in chyme on temperature in the benthophage roach (a higher level of relative activity in the zone of lower temperatures and a larger zone of temperature optimum) as well as of values of apparent energy of activation of the protein hydrolysis process as compared with that in plankto- and ichthyophages--zope and pike-perch, which indicates a significant effect of the enteral microbiota proteinases and of nutrition objects on characteristics of hydrolases functioning in fish intestine. |
