FIG. 1.

TEM of Silicibacter sp. strain TM1040. A culture of TM1040 was prepared in half-strength 2216 marine broth and grown for 20 h at 30°C without agitation. Motile cells were blotted onto copper disks, stained with 1% uranyl acetate, and visualized by TEM. Three simple lophotrichous flagella attached to the pole of the cell are apparent (arrow). Bar = 0.5 μm.
