Cell-free extracts of 14 spp. of rumen ciliate protozoa [from sheep] and of mixed rumen ciliates degraded fraction 1 leaf protein. For Entodinium caudatum and Eudiplodinium maggii the optimum pH was 3.2. The maximum rates of proteolysis (in .mu.mol acid soluble-tyrosine formed/mg protein/h) were 0.16-5.7 with protozoa grown in vivo and 0.38-6.4 with protozoa grown in vitro. The highest rates were obtained with E. caudatum and E. simplex and the lowest with the cellulolytic species grown in vivo. Km values (mg/ml) ranged from 0.42-19 with protozoa grown in vivo and 0.35-13.3 with protozoa grown in vitro. All single species (with one exception) whether grown in vivo or in vitro degraded fraction 1 leaf protein faster (1.4-21 times) than casein. Partial inhibition of the activity of E. caudatum was obtained with pepstatin and N-ethylmaleimide and almost complete inhibition with leupeptin, suggesting the presence of carboxyl and thiol enzymes.
