Aug 23, 2023 · Entamoeba coli has three distinct morphological forms: trophozoite, pre-cystic stage, and cystic stage. The most distinguishing feature is the eight-core nuclei, which develops as the cyst begins to mature.

Usually, the amoeba is immobile, and keeps its round shape. This amoeba, in its trophozoite stage, is only visible in fresh, unfixed stool specimens. Sometimes the Entamoeba coli have parasites as well. One is the fungus Sphaerita spp. This fungus lives in the cytoplasm of the E. coli.

E. coli trophozoites stained with trichrome. Trophozoites of Entamoeba coli usually measure 15–50 µm. The trophozoites have a single nucleus with a characteristically large, eccentric karyosome and coarse, irregular peripheral chromatin.
Trophozoites of E. coli measure 15–50 μm and have a single nucleus with irregular peripheral chromatin and a usually eccentric karyosome. The cytoplasm is often described as “dirty” and may contain vacuoles and ingested food particles, including bacteria, yeast, and even other intestinal protozoa. Cysts are 10–35 μm in diameter.
May 3, 2016 · Nuclei of trophozoites are visible in formalin-fixed material but are usually not sufficiently distinctive for species identification. Chromatoid bodies are more easily seen in unstained wet mounts than in iodine preparations.

Cysts and trophozoites are passed in feces . Cysts are typically found in formed stool, whereas trophozoites are typically found in diarrheal stool. Infection with Entamoeba histolytica (and E.dispar) occurs via ingestion of mature cysts from fecally contaminated food, water, or hands.
