Abstract

1. Polysaccharide depolymerases and glycoside hydrolases involved in the breakdown of plant structural polysaccharides (hemicellulose and pectins) were monitored in three fractions of the liquid phase of horse caecum digesta: acellular fluid (AF), bacteria (B) and protozoa plus bacteria (PB).
