Figure 5. Partially assembled carboxysomes identified in Synechococcus WH8109 cell tomograms.

Figure 5.

(a) Section view of a tomogram of a cell that has just completed cell division showing a partially assembled carboxysome labeled by “C”. (b) Slice and color isosurface views of partially assembled carboxysomes. The carboxysomes were arranged from particles with a small number of RuBisCO and shell units, probably representing particles in the early stage of carboxysome biogenesis, to particles that are close to completion of assembly. Magenta: shell; yellow: RuBisCO.
