Environmental isolates produce OMTs. Strains were stained with the lipophilic dye DilC. (A) M. xanthus Mxx23 (wild type). Bundled OMTs are faintly visible by phase-contrast microscopy (arrow). (B) M. fulvus HW-1 (wild type). Note that dye staining of environmental isolates was heterogeneous; some cells stained and some did not. Bar, 8 μm.
