Notes
Electrophoretic separation of the water-soluble proteins from seven Acanthamoeba strains, followed by lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) visualization by the zymogram method, has indicated a single LDH activity in each extract. To account for this observation, three alternatives are considered: inadequate eletrophoretic resolution, two gene-encodement of LDH with constraints relating to subunit assembly or oligomer stability, and one gene-LDH encodement.
