Figure 1: Cyanobacteria in symbiosis with diatoms.
From: Genomic deletions disrupt nitrogen metabolism pathways of a cyanobacterial diatom symbiont
Photomicrographs of cyanobacterial symbionts (denoted by arrows) representative of those sequenced in this study with host diatoms. Differential interference contrast bright field overlaid with blue light epifluorescence images of the diatoms H. membranaceus (a) and H. hauckii (b), with intracellular cyanobacterial symbionts. Bright-field microscopy image of epiphytic cyanobacterial symbiont C. rhizosoleniae SC01 attached to the host diatom Chaetoceros sp. (c). Scale bars, 50 μm.
