Inhibitory effect of d-serine on the PGDH activity. The optimal activity (mU/mg) of each PGDH was determined by performing the assay in the reaction mixture containing various concentrations of d-serine. The assay was performed in triplicate. Data are shown as the ratio of the PGDH activity in the presence of d-serine to that without d-serine and is expressed as the mean % ± SD. a Significance difference in activity was observed between P. aeruginosa PGDH without serine and P. aeruginosa PGDH in the presence of 10 mM and 100 mM serine (*P < 0.05), but not between P. aeruginosa PGDH without serine and P. aeruginosa PGDH in the presence of 1 mM serine (ns: not significant, P > 0.05). b A significant difference was observed between E. coli PGDH without serine and E. coli PGDH in the presence of 10 mM and 100 mM serine (*P < 0.05), but not between E. coli PGDH without serine and E. coli PGDH in the presence of 1 mM serine (ns, P > 0.05). c A significant difference was not observed between human PGDH without serine and human PGDH in the presence of 1 mM, 10 mM, and 100 mM serine (ns, P > 0.05)
