Abstract
1. 1. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to compare the proteins and isoenzymes of esterase, superoxide dismutase, and acid phosphatase in soluble, whole-cell extracts of four strains of Trichomonas vaginalis, two strains of Trichomonas gallinae, and one strain each of Tritrichomonas foetus, Tritrichomonas augusta, Tetratrichomonas gallinarum, and Pentatrichomonas hominis. 2. 2. Intraspecific, interspecific, and intergeneric differences were found in protein and isoenzyme profiles. 3. 3. At least four to seven isoenzymes were detected among the ten strains for each of the three enzymes studied. Each strain usually contained one or two isoenzymes of both esterase and acid phosphatase, and two or three isoenzymes of superoxide dismutase.
