Abstract
The mobility patterns of 4 enzymes [glucose phosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.9), hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) L-malate; NADP oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.40) and phosphoglucomutase (EC 2.7.5.1)] using cultured trophozoites of E. histolytica were examined by electrophoresis. By this means the stocks of amoebae isolated from male homosexuals were characterized into zymodemes. No amoebic stock isolated corresponded to a pathogenic zymodeme.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
