Eight-core nuclei
- The most distinguishing feature of the Entamoeba coli is the eight-core nuclei, which develops as the cyst begins to mature. In the octonucleate cystic form, the glycogen vacuole is reabsorbed. Occasionally, the nuclei may replicate until it has 16 nuclei in total.

Apr 8, 2022 · Trichrome stain of Entamoeba histolytica cyst in amebiasis. Each cyst has 4 nuclei with characteristically centrally located karyosomes. Cysts measure 12-15 mm.
Immature cysts typically have a large glycogen vacuole and two nuclei. Mature cysts have eight nuclei, with hypernucleate forms having 16 or more nuclei. The presence of an Entamoeba cyst in human stool with more than four nuclei is pathognomonic for E. coli (Ash and Orihel, 2007).
