Fig. 8: Crystalline arrays of virus-like particles (VLPs) were observed in two of the imaged Symbiodiniaceae cells.
From: Filamentous virus-like particles are present in coral dinoflagellates across genera and ocean basins
A An array of ~30 nm diameter VLPs was observed in a Symbiodiniaceae cell expelled from an Acropora hyacinthus coral fragment under ambient temperature conditions in an aquaria-based experiment. B Higher resolution of the boxed area from (A). C Inset of (B). D An array of ~10 nm VLPs was observed in the nucleus of an in hospite Symbiodiniaceae cell from an A. hyacinthus coral sampled on the forereef of Mo’orea, French Polynesia. E Higher resolution of the boxed area from (D). Black arrowhead indicates area shown in higher resolution in (F). F Inset of (E).
