- Entamoeba coli, similar to other Entamoeba specifies, has three distinct morphological forms: trophozoite, pre-cystic stage, and cystic stage. The trophozoite form, which measures 20 to 25 μm, is minimally mobile. The core of the trophozoite is slightly oval in shape with a nucleus surrounded by a thick membrane.

Entamoeba coli, E. hartmanni, E. polecki, Endolimax nana, and Iodamoeba buetschlii are generally considered nonpathogenic and reside in the lumen of the large intestine in the human host. Both cysts and trophozoites of these species are passed in stool and are considered diagnostic .

E. coli trophozoites can be distinguished by their wide and tapered pseudopodia. They are often mistaken for E. histolytica due to their overlap in size. The cysts are distinguished by noticing the eight nuclei found in the mature form. To diagnose for E. coli, a stool sample is usually tested.

Entamoeba species exist in 2 forms: Trophozoite. Cyst. The motile trophozoites feed on bacteria and tissue, reproduce, colonize the lumen and the mucosa of the large intestine, and sometimes invade tissues and organs. Trophozoites predominate in liquid stools but rapidly die outside the body and, if ingested, would be killed by gastric acids.
Entamoeba coli trophozoites contain a single nucleus with a prominent karyosome that usually is eccentric in location, distinguishing them from E. histolytica and E. dispar trophozoites, which have a centrally located karyosome. In addition, the cyst form of Entamoeba coli typically contains five to eight nuclei (see Fig. 109-2).
