IETDase protease activity stimulated in Emiliania huxleyi infected with Phaeobacter inhibens. In vitro IETDase (Ile-Glu-Thr-Asp) activity in E. huxleyi control and co-cultures was measured using Caspase-8 Activity Kit. The ratio of IETD cleavage in E. huxleyi cells infected with the bacterial pathogen was normalized to IETD cleavage activity in uninfected control cells to depict relative increase in algal caspase-like enzymes capable of IETDase cleavage. Error bars (±SE) were calculated using the error-propagation equation.
