The current media for axenic cultivation of Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba invadens are supplemented with bovine or equine serum, which provides several essential nutrients to amoebas. Serum has also been considered an essential component in encystation media for E. invadens. A substitute of serum, PACSR has been described as an alternative for growth of E. histolytica and also maintains growth of E. invadens. When PACSR was used instead of serum for encystation of E. invadens the efficiency was the same as for serum. Our present data show that PACSR can support the growth and induction of encystation of E. invadens strain IP-1.
