Abstract: Acanthamoeba castellanii(T4)was cultured with different concentrations of allitridium for 24 hours, and examined by transmission electron microscope. The results showed that the ultrastructure of Acanthamoeba trophozoites was destroyed gently at concentration of 50 μg/ml allitridium and seriously destroyed under the concentration of 500 μg/ml, indicating that allitridium is effective in destroying Acanthamoeba.

Key words: Acanthamoeba, Allitridium, Ultrastructure
