The spores of amoebae were centrifugated at 3500 × g for 5 min, and then the precipitation was diluted with WT and oeT cells at the same cell density (5 × 106 cells/ml), respectively. The diluent was cultured in culture plates (6 wells) at 25 °C under the dark condition. After 24 h, the cells of the oeT and WT were counted. The asterisk indicates that there was significant difference between WT and oeTBack to article page
