Abstract

Abstract

Enzymic mixtures were prepared from digestive organs of the three species of sea Snails. All the three mixtures can break down the cell-walls of seaweeds.
The present paper reports only three of the enzymic components in these mixtures, two cellulates (C_x,C₁) and one pectinase.
The level of activity of the cellulose C_x is in the order: Lunclla cornata coreensis > Monodonta labio > Purpura clavigera,and of the cellulate C₁ is in the order: L. cornata coreensis >> M. labio=P clavigera. These two cellulases play an important role in decomposing cell walls of seaweeds.
The level of activity of the pectinase is in the order of M. Iahio > L. cornata coreensis > P. clavigera.
