This is the first description of a method for growing axenized Blastocystis hominis as colonies in petri dishes containing soft agar. Blastocystis cells cultured in two types of agar appeared to show different colonial morphologies as well as differing colony yields. Microscopic examination of the colonies revealed many amoeboid and giant cells. Many cells were also shown to possess thin filament-like structures that appeared to stretch across the central vacuole.
这是首次描述在含有软琼脂的培养皿中培养无菌人芽囊原虫形成菌落的方法。在两种琼脂中培养的人芽囊原虫细胞似乎表现出不同的菌落形态以及不同的菌落产量。对菌落的显微镜检查发现了许多阿米巴样细胞和巨大细胞。还显示许多细胞具有似乎横跨中央液泡伸展的细丝状结构。
