Abstract
Polysaccharide depolymerase and glycoside hydrolase enzymes involved in the degradation of plant structural polysaccharides were most active in the adherent particle-associated microorganisms, whereas soluble saccharides were metabolized by the liquid phase and nonadherent populations. The activities were constant confirming the stability of the populations. Key words: Polysaccharidase, glycosidase, particle-associated microorganismsKeywords
