| Abstract: | Scanning electron microscopy of Blastocystishominis cysts reveals that some cysts have an outer coat, whereas others are naked. If intact, the outer coat forms a fan-like structure around the cyst and its surface is granular. The fragmented outer coat adheres to other cysts and bacteria, forming irregular clumps.
