- 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.

What is the difference between Entamoeba coli and E coli cysts?
Mature Entamoeba histolytica/Entamoeba dispar cysts have 4 nuclei that characteristically have centrally located karyosomes and fine, uniformly distributed peripheral chromatin. Cysts usually measure 12 to 15 µm.
Aug 23, 2023 · On initial microscopy, the cyst of Entamoeba coli typically has eight nuclei, while Entamoeba histolytica typically has four. The peripheral chromatin is coarse and irregularly clumped for Entamoeba coli and fine, evenly distributed for Entamoeba histolytica .

This usually involves checking the cysts for the size, shape, and the number of nuclei. E. coli has cysts in size up to 10 to 35 micrometers, the shape is irregular, oval with a shell-like appearance that is more uniformed compared to E. histolytica, and has up to eight nuclei in the cyst compared to the four nuclei of E. histolytica.

Oct 6, 2022 · Cyst size and the number of its nuclei. Mature cysts of E. histolytica are smaller than those of Entamoeba coli and contain four nuclei, whereas E. coli cysts have eight nuclei. B. Antigen detection : detection of E.histolytica antigen in the stool
Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar are morphologically identical species. In bright-field microscopy, E. histolytica/E. dispar cysts are spherical and usually measure 12 to 15 μm (range may be 10 to 20 μm). A mature cyst has 4 nuclei while an immature cyst may contain only 1 to 3 nuclei.

The cysts of Entamoeba histolytica, shown below, measure between 10 and 20 µm in diameter. The key identification feature is the number of nuclei; cyst will have 1 to 4 nuclei. In addition, the peripheral chromatin is generally evenly distributed. In the images below, two nuclei are clearly visible.
Life Cycle. Fig. 1 . Figure 1. Life cycle of Entamoeba histolytica. 1 Cysts with 4 nuclei (i.e., metacysts) are ingested orally with contaminated food or drinking water ( A–C ). 2–4 After excysting in the small intestine, both the cytoplasm and nuclei divide to form 8 small amoebulae (i.e., metacystic trophozoites ). 5, 6 Mature ...
