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).

NADP-dependent ADH activity E. dispar HM-1∶IMSS HAO
Units/mg 0.03±.021 0.24±0.112 0.85±0.31

Units/mg represents the enzyme activity (conversion of 1 mmole NADPH/min/mg of lysate protein using ethanol as substrate) within the lysates.

1

P≤0.004 for the difference in activity between lysates from E. dispar and E. histolytica HM-1∶IMSS.

2

P<0.001 for the difference in activity between lysates from E. histolytica HM-1∶IMSS and HAO.
