Abstract

A horizontal starch-acrylamide gel electrophoretic study was done to compare the amylase isozyme patterns in salivary gland of golden snail in the field and in the laboratory. Both field and laboratory-controlled snails were monomorphic for amylase. They showed only a single band pattern with an Rf value of 0.0917 +/- 0.005 for field population and 0.0865 +/- 0.005 for laboratory-controlled population. Varying intensities of the amylase was observed. To verify possible association of varying band intensity to enzyme activity, an assay for the enzyme is recommend6d for both populations. The increase of sample size for both field and laboratory snails is also suggested to determine possible poly-morphism for amylase.
