Unique microtubular assemblies in Entamoeba histolytica.
Most organisms segregate their duplicated genome copies on bipolar microtubular spindles. E. histolytica nuclei often accumulate multiple copies of the genome. This micrograph shows multi-polar microtubular spindles where genome segregation likely occurs in E. histolytica cells (see Mukherjee et al., doi:10.1371/journal.pntd.0000409).
