ABSTRACT
The mode of absorption, kinetics and mechanism of transportation of 14C--glucose in a digenetic trematode, Ceylonocotyle scoliocoelium were studied by culturing the trematodes under in vitro condition in Hank's saline supplemented with radioactive tracer. It was then followed separately by autoradiography and liquid scintillation. Autoradiographic study reveals that the maximum amount of glucose uptake occurs through cuticle whereas the role of intestinal canal is insignificant in this respect. Maximum cpm is recorded in the precipitate followed by TCA treatment. This is due to the presence of a protein-bound 14C-glucose which is assumed as the carrier protein. The inhibitor, phlorizin, used here presumably acts noncompetitively.
