dc.description.abstractThe excretion of proteolytic enzymes by representative species of the attine genera Atta, Acromyrmex, Sericomyrmex, Trachymyrmex, Myrmicocrypta, Apterostigma, and Cyphomyrmex has been established. The significance of protease excretion by the primitive attines is discussed in light of their use of materials as substrates in their fungus gardens which contain very little polypeptide. In addition, 20 more species of non-attine ants have been examined, and none has been found to concentrate proteolytic enzymes in its rectal fluid in the manner characteristics of the attines.en_US
