Elongated cell morphology of P. aeruginosa PAO1 under anaerobic conditions. (a) Fluorescence micrographs of P. aeruginosa PAO1, PAET1, PAET2, PA14, PA54, and PA166 cells grown anaerobically (to an OD550 of approximately 0.5) and stained with the LIVE/DEAD assay. (b) RNR mutant strains (∆) of P. aeruginosa PAO1 (ETS102 (∆nrdJ), ETS103 (∆nrdD), and ETS125 (∆nrdJnrdD) that contain complementation vectors (pETS159, pBBR1-NrdJab; pETS160, pBBR1-NrdDG; or pETS197, pUCP20T-DG)). Cells were stationary-cultured in the presence or absence of 1 μM vitamin B12. Live cells stained with the LIVE/DEAD assay were visualized under a fluorescence microscope (1,000X magnification). The images are representative of three independent experiments with three replicates each. Cell length (mean ± standard deviation) was determined with ImageJ software. Scale bars, 10 μm.
