Taxonomic and Biochemical Composition and Digestive Enzyme Activity of Periphyton and Plankton: A Comparative Study
Periphyton grown on sugarcane bundles was analyzed for major digestive enzymes in order to quantify their possible exogenous digestive enzyme contribution to the grazing fish. The proximate and taxonomic composition of constituent planktonic organisms of periphyton was compared with that of free pla...

Summary: | Periphyton grown on sugarcane bundles was analyzed for major digestive enzymes in order to quantify their possible exogenous digestive enzyme contribution to the grazing fish. The proximate and taxonomic composition of constituent planktonic organisms of periphyton was compared with that of free plankton. Further, the activity of major digestive enzymes in the extracts of periphyton and free plankton was also compared. The proximate composition analysis revealed periphyton to contain more (
