| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the changes of enzyme activities in the crystalline style of the clam Venerupis philippinarum induced by feeding of different sugar sources. Zymographic analysis revealed that a 77-kDa endo-1,3(4)-β-glucanase activity, not detected in non-feeding clams, was induced by CMC-feeding and also by glucose-feeding, while a 50-kDa endo-1,3(4)-β-glucanase activity was induced by glucose-feeding but not by CMC-feeding. An increase of a 140-kDa α-amylase activity was induced in rice flour-feeding clams compared to non-feeding clams. Reducing sugar assays revealed that only stronger α-glucosidase activity was induced at 1 day of starch-feeding, while both α-glucosidase and β-glucosidase activities were induced by 1 to 5 days of glucose-feeding. Both of these enzyme activities were also induced at 3 days of CMC-feeding.
