Table 1. Comparison of NADP-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase activity in lysates of E. dispar, E. histolytica HM-1∶IMSS, and E. histolytica HM-1∶IMSS overexpressing EhADH3 (HAO).
Units/mg represents the enzyme activity (conversion of 1 mmole NADPH/min/mg of lysate protein using ethanol as substrate) within the lysates.
P≤0.004 for the difference in activity between lysates from E. dispar and E. histolytica HM-1∶IMSS.
P<0.001 for the difference in activity between lysates from E. histolytica HM-1∶IMSS and HAO.
