Abstract
Losses of agriculture product because of pest have been evaluated worldwide. The partial characterization of larval lipase of Maruca vitrata (Fabricius) shows higher activity at pH 7.9 and Km 9.56×10-2 mM. The gradual increase in lipase activity was observed from 4 to 8-day larvae, decrease from 8 to 13th day and maximum activity in 8-day in control and dithiothreitol treated larvae of M. vitrata. The lipase activity of 9-day control larvae is 0.280 and dithiothreitol treated larvae is 0.274 µmol FFA/mg protein/25 min. The lipase activity of 8-day control larvae was 1.02 fold more than dithiothreitol treated larvae. The inhibitory role of dithiothreitol on larval lipaseMaruca vitrata has been attempted in present work.
Keywords: Lipase, larva, Dithiothreitol (DTT), M. vitrata (F).
