Morphology of M. gallisepticum strains. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the typical M. gallisepticum flask-shape morphology with a pronounced TO (A , Rlow), while CrmA- (F, mHAD3) or GapA-deficient strains (D, Rhigh; E, RCL2) tended to have an enlarged, round-shaped appearance with a less defined TO. Loss of MGC2 (B, T932A) or the presence of a truncated MGC2 (C, T932C) resulted in an overall smaller appearance with either a rounded body or a flask shape-like morphology with bulges and distortions. Scale bars, 1 μm.
