Extended Data Fig. 8: Whole cell tomography of N. maritimus and S-layer lattice maps.

a-f, Gallery of lattice maps of the S-layer from subtomogram averaging plotted onto denoised36,37 N. maritimus cellular tomograms (only one slice shown in each case). The S-layer lattice coats nearly the entire outer surface of N. maritimus cells. A region has been cut out from each lattice map on top of the cell for clarity. The hexagonal lattice is joined together by pentameric defects, and linear lattice dislocations are also occasionally observed. Scale bars: 500 Å. Cellular tomography was performed at least 32 times (see Extended Data Table 1).
