Percentage of uni-nucleated, bi-nucleated and multi-nucleated cells in different isolates of <i>E. histolytica</i>.

Axenic and xenic cells were stained with DAPI and the numbers of nuclei were counted in each cell. At least 100 (xenic) and 500 (axenic) cells were counted in three replicates to determine the percentage of uni-nucleated, bi-nucleated and multi-nucleated (>2) cells. p< = 0.05 is considered to be significant. * and ** denote p< = 0.05 and p< = 0.01 respectively. N.S. = not significant (p> = 0.05). p value was obtained after comparison between xenic and axenic growth condition of 2592100 and DS4-868 respectively.
