Extraction of A Mucinase From Limachus Flavus

Abstract

From a water extract of Limachus flavus the fraction of muchinase and several other polysaccharide-splitting enzymes were separated by means of using the lead acetate or ammonium sulfate fractionation procedure. Being histochemically demonstrated, the fermentative activities of hyaluronidase and chondromucinase in their final fractions were ascertained and assayed quantitatively IN VITRO and that of amylase, cellulase and chon-
drosulfatase in the other intermediate fractions were also estimated.
