I want to test the digestive enzyme (alkaline phosphatase, β-glucosidase, lipase and carboxylesterase of earthworms. I have a few questions regarding this.
1. How I can separate the foregut, gizzard and luminal content? I am trying to make them separate, but it’s challenging for me. Did someone have a specific method?
2. Can I cut posterior of clitellum segments (stomach segments) for digestive enzymes?
3. Anyone please share testing protocols with me or suggest any company who is providing the biological kits of these enzymes?
