Viability of E. histolytica trophozoites during stress.
Log-phase trophozoites were exposed to a variety of stress conditions as described in the text. Cells were collected by centrifugation and live/dead cells were enumerated via microscopy and Trypan blue exclusion. Percent viable cells is given for each condition. The data represent the mean (± standard error) of at least three separate trials. Significant cell death occurs after long-term serum starvation or oxidative stress (***P<0.001)
