About this document

Zymodeme Analysis of Entamoeba Species by MeTha Coconacow is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The pioneering work of Sargeaunt et al. demonstrated that isoenzyme analysis of cultured amebae could differentiate between Entamoeba species. A zymodeme is defined as a group of ameba strains that share the same electrophoretic patterns for enzymes like malic enzyme, hexokinase, glucose phosphate isomerase, and phosphoglucomutase. A total of 24 zymodemes have been described, with 21 from human isolates including 9 from E. histolytica and 12 from E. dispar. Isoenzyme analysis enabled differentiation of E. h
