FIGURE 2.
TEM observations of the degradation process of M. aeruginosa treated with Bacillus sp. strain S51107. (A) Normal cell; (B) damaged cell wall; (C) ruptured cell wall and membrane; (D) distorted and broken cell. CW, cell wall; CM, cell membrane; Th, thylakoids; Ld, lipid droplets; Cg, cyanophycin granules; Pg, polyphosphate granules; BC, bacterial cells; MA, M. aeruginosa. The arrows in (B) show damaged (up) and intact (down) cell walls. The arrows in (C) indicate the partly ruptured M. aeruginosa cell.
