KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
Rumen ciliates Diploplastron affine were isolated from the rumen and grown in vitro in a
medium supplemented with different doses of chitin. The number of cultured ciliates was positively
correlated with the chitin dose. The protozoal crude enzyme preparation obtained from bacteria-free
ciliates exhibited chitinase as well as chitobiase activity. The ability to degrade murein was also
detected. It is concluded that chitin could be utilized by protozoa as an additional source of available
energy.
