Esterases, Phosphatases, and Protein Patterns of Ditylenchus Triformis and Panagrellus Redivivus 1)

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Specific and distinct phosphatases, esterases, and protein patterns were demonstrated by disc electrophoresis in acrylamide gel using whole body homogenates of the nematodes, Ditylenchus triformis and Panagrellus redivivus. Homogenates of P. redivivus contained at least 20 different proteins, 8 of which exhibited esterase, and 5 acid phosphatase activity. Four esterases, 4 acid phosphatases, and at least 16 distinct proteins were indentified in homogenates of D. triformis. No alkaline phosphatases were detected in either species.
