Figure 1. Ultrastructural carboxysome phenotypes in BMC shell mutants of S. elongatus PCC 7942.

Figure 1

Representative transmission electron micrographs of each mutant generated here are shown, as well as the carboxysomeless ΔccmM mutant for reference [16], [37]. A, Wild-type PCC 7942. B, PCC 7942 ΔccmM. C, HIND mutant ccmK2::CmR [20]. D, ΔccmK2. E, ΔccmK3. F, ΔccmK4. G, ΔccmK3-4. H, ΔccmO. Scale bars are 500 nm and HIND and ΔccmK4 were embedded in Epon-araldite rather than LR-white resin.
