Fig. 1: Tomographic slices of M. marinum during intracellular infection and without an infection context.
From: In situ and in vitro cryo-EM reveal structures of mycobacterial encapsulin assembly intermediates
M. marinum in the absence of an infection context (a) and during intracellular infection (b) expressing intracellular encapsulins (white arrows). Small irregular-shaped storage granules are predominantly present in bacteria without the infection context (black stars) whereas during intracellular infection larger spherical storage compartments that morphologically closely resemble lipid droplets in eukaryotic cells are predominantly present (white stars). Inner (red triangles) and outer membranes (white triangles) are clearly visible. During septum formation in cell division (black arrows) the outer membrane appears to remain continuous between the mother and daughter cell. Scale bars: 200 nm.
