The isolated brush border membrane of the tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta, hydrolyzes p-nitrophenyl phosphate over a broad pH range. Acid phosphatase activity (pH optimum at 4.0) is inhibited specifically by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and NaF, while the alkaline phosphatase activity (pH optimum at
