Venoms from two related Australian ants, a jumper ant (Myrmecia pilosula) and a bulldog ant (Myrmecia pyriformis), were quantitatively analysed for the following enzymic activities: phospholipase A2, phospholipase B, phospholipase C, hyaluronidase, esterase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and phosphodiesterase. Both venoms contained phospholipase A2, phospholipase B, hyaluronidase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase activities. Myrmecia pyriformis venom had significantly greater phospholipase B, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase activities than Myrmecia pilosula venom. No detectable quantities of phospholipase C, esterase or phosphodiesterase activities were found in either venom.
对两种亲缘关系相近的澳大利亚蚂蚁——跳蚁(毛蚁属毛蚁)和斗牛犬蚁(梨形毛蚁)的毒液进行了以下酶活性的定量分析:磷脂酶A2、磷脂酶B、磷脂酶C、透明质酸酶、酯酶、酸性磷酸酶、碱性磷酸酶和磷酸二酯酶。两种毒液都含有磷脂酶A2、磷脂酶B、透明质酸酶、酸性磷酸酶和碱性磷酸酶活性。梨形毛蚁毒液中的磷脂酶B、酸性磷酸酶和碱性磷酸酶活性明显高于毛蚁属毛蚁毒液。两种毒液中均未检测到磷脂酶C、酯酶或磷酸二酯酶活性。
