Abstract

It is established that specific groups of bacteria releasing amylolytic and proteolytic enzymes into environment are associated with various degree of firmness with digestive-transport surfaces of pike intestine and of T. nodulosus parasitizing in it. The revealed bacteria can under different conditions act either as competitors for the host and the parasite for available nutritive substrates or as suppliers of the hydrolytic enzymes used by both of them in the processes of digestion, which reduces the energy expenditures of microorganisms for hydrolysis of highly-molecular substrates. The greatest contribution to these processes both in the host and in the parasite seems to be made by the microorganisms that are more firmly bound to their digestive-transport surfaces and removed with a greater difficultly from intestine during peristalsis.
