Fig. 4.
The expression pattern of xylose isomerase. Xylose isomerase was expressed high in Acanthamoeba during encystation (). After transfection with cellulose synthase siRNA, the expression pattern of xylose isomerase was unchanged (
). Accordingly, the down-regulation of cellulose synthase had no effects on the expression of xylose isomerase in Acanthamoeba.
