Images of the Efs coat are shown in a–e and images of the Eds coat in f–j. a and f are the corresponding bright field images of b–e and g–j, respectively. Each single symbiont is triple stained with specific probes targeting Eubacteria (b and g), Gammaproteobacteria (c and h), and the symbiont (Efs1027 and Eds214, respectively; d and i). (e) and (j) are overlay pictures of (b–d) and (g–i), respectively. A single Efs cell is shown in the insets in (a–e). Scale bar, 25 μm for all images and 5 μm for the insert.
