dc.description.abstractThe proteolytic activity previously reported in the faecal fluid of fungus-growing ants is due to the presence of three enzymes. These enzymes have been partially purified and characterized. One is a serine proteinase; the other two are metalloendopeptidases. The physical and catalytic properties of the enzymes reflect their adaptive role in the ants' fungus-culturing activities, and also suggest that they are of microbial origin.en_US
