Summary

The trehalase from the extramitochondrial fraction of abdominal and thoracic muscles of Macrobrachium lamarrei was purified to give a 12.85fold increase in specific activity. Its optimum pH was 6.0, Km value was 2.85 mM and had a mol.wt around 120,000. Tris HCl buffer inhibited the enzyme activity by 21.7%.
