Image A is a general view of the tube formed by aggregated cubic units, living cells are marked in green while those dead (or dying) appear in red [Bar=1.5mm]. In (B) a magnified image of the sub-units forming the tube opening is shown. The junction between adjacent building blocks forming the tube wall, is shown in (C). [Bars in B and C are 400μm]
