ABSTRACT
Oligosaccharidase activities of the small intestinal mucosal homogenates were measured in vertebrates viz fish, toad, garden-lizard (calotes), pigeon, rat and some invertebrates viz, molluscsa. Maximum activities of the enzymes Lactase, Sucrase and Maltase were found in the mammalian species rat, whereas much less activities were found in the non-mammalian vertebrates among which toad shows the highest values and garden lizard the lowest. Among the invertebrates Pila globosa shows higher values of all the enzymes than Achatina fulica. The results obtained have been discussed in the lights of phylogeny and diet habits.
