| Abstract: | Homogenates of the larval form of Taenia crassiceps contain an aldolase which is not activated by metal ions.The Michaelis constant was found to be 6.1 × 10−3m and the optimum pH for aldolase activity is 8.5–9.0. It is suggested that comparative biochemical studies of this kind might well serve as an adjunct to more classical types of taxonomic techniques.Aldolase in homogenates of larvae of T. crassiceps is a soluble enzyme with no functional sulfhydryl groups and remains stable in KC1 solution for up to 90 days at −20 °C. |
