A Secondary electron image of R. mucilaginosa cells in the medium (Control), B R. mucilaginosa cells with untreated 13C-polyethylene (-UV), C R. mucilaginosa cells with UV-treated 13C-polyethylene (+UV). The respective 13F-values of R. mucilaginosa cells are presented on panels D–F. Highest incorporation of 13C label was found in R. mucilaginosa cells with UV-treated 13C-polyethylene as depicted by warm colors in panel F.
