Images indicating cell encapsulation by precipitates. Cylindrical extensions observed using different imaging techniques. (a) CLSM images of drops with autofluorescent extensions (red) showing interior GFP signal (green) resembling the cell-chains displayed in Fig. 2. Individual drops shown are approximately 25 µm in diameter. (b) SEM image of a vaterite precipitate with two extensions. (c) TEM micrographs showing cell-shaped structures covered with precipitates. (d) FIB-SEM slicing of a cell-shaped extension indicating a hollow, possibly previously cell-occupied tube.
