Abstract
Cultures of 14 stocks of Entamoeba histolytica and one only of Entamoeba coli were compared by electrophoretic patterns of three enzymes: glucose-phosphate isomerase, phosphoglucomutase and L-malate: NADP+ oxidoreductase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating). Easily distinguished patterns divided E. histolytica into three groups, whilst a distinctly different pattern for E. coli was also seen.Keywords
