Enzimas digestivas do bicho-mineiro do cafeeiro Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Mèneville & Perrottet, 1842) (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae)

Abstract: RESUMOOs insetos possuem diferentes enzimas digestivas que catalisam as reações de hidrólise do alimento consumido e essas se diferenciam entre os insetos de acordo com suas dietas e estado fisiológico. Foram avaliadas as atividades de algumas enzimas digestivas da praga do cafeeiro -Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Mèneville & Perrottet, 1842) (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae) -popularmente conhecida como bicho-mineiro do cafeeiro, para o entendimento de seu processo digestivo. Lagartas do bicho-mineiro do cafeeiro fora… Show more

“…These enzymes vary depending on insect's diet and physiological state. Insects and other heterotrophs can hydrolyze complex macromolecules in food and convert them into simple molecules that can be absorbed by organism (Rossi et al 2009). α-amylase is a glycosyl hydrolase that breaks down the α-1,4 glycosidic bonds within the linear chain of maltpolysaccharides, which is the main digestive enzyme in the first step of maltopolysaccharide digestion, ultimately producing maltose, maltotriose and residual branched maltodextrins.…”
