“…This is in agreement with the results of digestibility, which decreased with increasing cellulose inclusion Borrer & Lawrence (1989) observed that the level of dietary cellulose affected apparent protein digestibility in Farfantepenaeus aztecus, by lowering digestibility values as cellulose levels increased. A similar result was observed in Macrobrachium rosenbergii (González-Peña et al, 2002). On the other hand, in L. vannamei the protein digestibility did not change with the different levels of cellulose (Borrer & Lawrence, 1989;Guo et al, 2006).…”

ABSTRACT. The present study compared the effect of different starch/cellulose ratios (30/0, 20/10, 10/20, 0/30) on the metabolic response and apparent digestibility in two species of penaeoids: Artemesia longinaris and Pleoticus muelleri. Adult animals were used in order to obtain sufficient quantities of haemolymph and faecal material for analysis. No significant differences were found in levels of plasma metabolites in P. muelleri, but in A. longinaris, a significant increase was observed in glucose, total protein, and cholesterol in correlation with increased dietary starch. The apparent digestibility coefficients decreased from 83.7% to 51.2% (A. longinaris) and from 71.9% to 7.6% (P. muelleri) as the dietary starch levels increased. The ratio of amylase activity to protease activity (A/P ratio) declined in A. longinaris when the percentage of dietary starch increased. In contrast, the A/P ratio for P. muelleri increased with higher starch concentrations. These results demonstrated a close relationship between the feeding habits and digestive physiology of the two species studied; they also suggest a more herbivorous behavior for A. longinaris and more omnivorous habits for P. muelleri.

En el presente estudio se comparó el efecto de diferentes concentraciones de almidón/celulosa (30/0; 20/10; 10/20; 0/30) sobre la respuesta metabólica y la digestibilidad aparente en dos especies de peneidos, Artemesia longinaris y Pleoticus muelleri. Se utilizaron animales adultos a fin de obtener cantidades suficientes de hemolinfa y heces para los análisis. No hubo diferencias significativas en los niveles de metabolitos plasmáticos en P. muelleri, en cambio en A. longinaris se observó un incremento significativo de la glucosa, proteínas totales y colesterol en relación con el aumento del almidón en la dieta. Los coeficientes de digestibilidad aparente disminuyeron de 83,7% a 51,2% (A. longinaris) y de 71,9% a 7,6% (P. muelleri) a medida que los porcentajes de almidón en la dieta aumentaron. El cociente entre la actividad de amilasa y proteasa (A/P) se redujo en A. longinaris con los mayores porcentajes de almidón dietario; por el contrario, el cociente A/P en P. muelleri aumentó cuando la concentración fue más alta. Estos resultados demostraron que existe una estrecha relación entre los hábitos alimentarios y la fisiología digestiva de las dos especies estudiadas; sugiriendo un comportamiento más herbívoro para A. longinaris y más omnívoro para P. muelleri.

“…So, it is possible that the dietary fiber with high viscosity reduces the interaction between the enzymes and substrates, reducing absorption rates. The binding capability of the dietary fiber is another possible factor that can reduce the availability of nutrients (González-Peña et al, 2002).…”

“…Endoglucanase activity has been detected in a number of commercially important crustacean species, including Penaeus japonicus (Yokoe & Yasumasu 1964), Euphausia superba (Chen & Chen 1983), Homarus gammarus (Glass & Stark 1995), Cherax quadricarinatus (Xue, Anderson, Richardson, Anderson, Xue & Mather 1999), Scylla serrata (Pavosovic, Richardson, Anderson, Mann & Mather 2004), Macrobrachium rosenbergii (Gonzalez‐Pena, Anderson, Smith & Moreira 2002) and Litopenaeus vannamei (Moss, Divakaran & Kim 2001). Endoxylanase activity has also been reported in C. quadricarinatus (Xue 1998), E. superba (Turkiewicz, Kalinowska, Zielinska & Bielecki 2000) and S. serrata (Pavosovic et al .…”

A comparative study of cellulase and xylanase activity in freshwater crayfish and marine prawns

2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cellulase and xylanase digestive enzyme activities were compared in four freshwater crayfish (Genus Cherax) and three marine prawn (Genus Penaeus) species. Temperature and pH profiles for cellulase (endoglucanase) were found to be very similar in all species, with maximum activity occurring at 60°C and pH 5.0. Temperature and pH profiles for xylanase (endoxylanase) were also very similar in all crayfish species, with maximum activity occurring at 50°C and pH 5.0. Xylanase activity was not detected in the three prawn species examined. In addition, in vitro studies showed that most species were able to liberate glucose from carboxymethyl cellulose, indicating that cellulose substrates can be a source of energy for both crayfish and prawn species.

Sacrist an, H.J., Fern andez-Gimenez, A.V., Chaulet, A., Franco Tadic, L.M., Fenucci, J. and L opez Greco, L.S. 2015. Effect of different diets on digestive enzyme activities, in vitro digestibility, and midgut gland structure in juvenile crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus. -Acta Zoologica (Stockholm) 00: 000-000.This study investigated the effects of food quality on digestive enzyme activities, in vitro protein digestibility and histological traits of the midgut gland in juvenile crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus. Animals of a wide weight range were fed different diets: two commercial diets with high or low lipid content (high lipid and low lipid, respectively) and were compared with a reference diet (RF) previously formulated for this species. Proteinase, lipase and amylase activities were significantly influenced by diet and weight. Specific trypsin activity was significantly higher for crayfish fed with the HL diet. Trypsin activity depended on diet and weight. Protein digestibility showed that HL was the most digestible diet and RF the least. The weight of the animals did not affect protein digestibility. Structural disorganization, hypertrophy of B-cells and presence of large vacuoles in R-cells were mainly observed in juveniles fed with HL, indicative of malnutrition. Thus, our data suggest that the HL diet would not be the most appropriate for C. quadricarinatus, while RF diet would be more convenient for culture of this species.
