Abstract
A biochemical study was conducted to assess the relative presence of s ome enzymes of gluconeogenesis in various fractions-the cyst wall, cys t fluid and zoites-of sarcocysts of Sarcocystis fusiformis obtained fr om the oesophageal muscles of naturally infected Indian water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). The activities of fructose 1,6-diphosphatase and ma lic enzyme were beyond detectable limits. Phosphoenol pyruvate carboxy kinase (PEPCK) activity was maximally present in the zoites, whereas g lucose 6-phosphatase activity was highest in the cyst wall. PEPCK seem ed to play a crucial role in carbon dioxide fixation metabolism.
