Особенности пищеварения у некоторых клещей-фитосейид (Gamasina, Phytoseiidae)

Abstract

It is determined that food type of Phytoceiidae mites in spite of the carnivorous mode of their life affected their digestive enzyme ratio (comparatively active amylases but with predominance of invertase activity) and the phytolytic index value (more than a unit). In the author’s opinion the proteolytic activity proved to be more significative. Here the greates differences in the activity are revealed and proteases are found even in hungry mites of the Amblyseius andersonia and Anthoseius malicolus species. Appa­rently it is activity of proteases as well as their presence in hungry mites that may be­an indication of Phytoseiidae carnivorous nature.
