Abstract
Pectinase and cellulase were demonstrated quantitatively by a modified viscometric method in high concentrations in two parasitic species of nematodes, Pratylenchus penetrans (Cobb), and Heterodera trifolii Goffart. Turbatrix aceti (Muller), a non-parasitic species, possessed no detectable cellulase. The significance of these results in plant penetration and the strawberry root rot syndrome is discussed.
