Table 1 Specific activities (mU/mg) of soluble digestive enzymes at Mischonyx squalidus midguts (N = 8). The values are represented as mean followed by the standard deviation of specific digestive enzyme activities. The assay conditions are detailed in Table 6. The enzymes with an asterisk in the “specific activity” column had no activity detected.
