Assays of parasite proteinase activity by other workers indicate that acid-soluble peptides or amino acids are released, by the digestion of haemoglobin.
In vitro digestion reduced seed germination of all the species tested compared to the untreated controls.
The parasites appeared to be merely digested by the bug, the rate of digestion being governed by the temperature at which the insects were maintained.
After digestion and ligation reactions, each sample was diluted ten-fold and used as a template for the preselective and selective amplification.
Their smooth surfaces indicate chemical synthesis/precipitation rather than incomplete digestion.
Moreover, the natural digestion of infected meat could prepare larvae for future incidents.
Since the assay involved extract and not pure aminopeptidase, the neuropeptides certainly were subject to proteolytic digestion in addition to the action of any aminopeptidase.
The progressive digestion of the ingested plug of tissue (epithelial cells, blood cells and mucous) was visualized.
