Hydrolytic enzymes of leaf-cutting ant fungi
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2009The production of enzymes and the colonization of leaves by Leucoagaricus gongylophorus were investigated to further understand the digestive interactions of leaf-cutting ant colonies. The enzymes detected were indicative of a saprophytic origin of this fungus, producing all the enzymes necessary for plant tissue breakdown.

Digestive Physiology of Leaf-Cutting Ants
2019Digestion depends, among other factors, on the quality of the ingested food and on the digestive enzyme activities of the alimentary tract. The studies carried out on the digestive physiology of Ac.octospinosus are important for research on the development of new methods of control. The digestive system of the larvae of Ac.octospinosus is comparable to
