- W2013879639 abstract "The Red Palm Weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Oliver) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a serious pest of a wide range of plant species including coconut, sago, date and oil palms. The α-amylases are the hydrolytic enzymes that are involved in carbohydrate metabolism in insects. So far nothing is done to demonstrate α-amylase activity of R. ferrugineus. Thus, the aim of the current study was to identify and characterise the α-amylase activity to gain a better understanding of digestive physiology of the insect. Thus, the α-amylase in the gut of red palm weevil was isolated and characterised using starch as a substrate. The study showed that the α-amylase is present in the gut of the insect for carbohydrate digestion. The α-amylase has an optimum pH and temperature of 5 and 40°C. The activity of α-amylase was increased by NaCl and KCl and inhibited by other compounds such as MgCl2, CaCl2, urea, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and sodium dodecylsulfate. Native-PAGE electrophoresis of α-amylase showed two isoenzymes, one major and one minor band showing α-amylase importance in the carbohydrate metabolism of the insect. Understanding of the digestive physiology and α-amylase activity of Red Palm Weevil is important when new management strategies for this economically important pest are devised." @default.
