Abstract
THE attenuation in the breakdown of protein materials and soluble cellulose dextrin by microorganisms with montmorillonite has been reported by Pinck et al. 1, Ensminger and Gieseking2 and Lynch and Cotnoir3. This attenuation in the case of cellulose dextrin was attributed partially to the inactivation of the enzyme cellulase3.
