title: [Composition of the cell wall of Entamoeba invadens cysts].
abstract: Cyst walls isolated from Entamoeba invadens have a microfibrillar structure. The main sugars detected in acid hydrolysates from walls were hexosamines. X-ray diffraction analysis of the cyst walls demonstrated that the only crystalline polymer present was chitin.
