Extended Data Fig. 2: Colonization of the C. elegans intestine by wrinkly host specialists.
From: Bacterial c-di-GMP has a key role in establishing host–microbe symbiosis
Confocal laser scanning micrographs (upper panel: longitudinal optical section; lower panels: maximum intensity projections showing longitudinal optical sections) revealing intact bacterial cells (red) within the intestinal system of a young adult Ce_MY316 (cyan). The upper micrograph shows an overview of the complete worm, and the lower micrographs show detailed views of the worm sections indicated by the dashed frames above. These include the posterior pharynx with the worm grinder and the first intestinal ring (left), a central intestinal (middle) and the anal region (right). The bottom left panel is identical to the micrograph shown in the main text (Fig. 1e). Scale bars = 50 µm (overview) and 10 µm (detailed views).
