Abstract

Enzyme and alkaline hydrolysates of RNA and DNA contained growth-promoting factors for E. histolytica, but acid hydrolysates were without stimulatory activity. Nucleosides, adenosine, guanosine, and thymidine, were stimulatory to the NRS and US-100 strains but not the UC strain. Nucleotides, adenylic acid, guanylic acid, thymidylic acid, and uridylic acid were highly stimulatory for all 3 strains.
