Fig. 2. ‘R. eludens’ and ‘G. incantans’ are specific to two spatially segregated host cell types.

a, A false-coloured FISH image using probes specific for ‘G. incantans’ (GRIN-61-2, Atto-647) and ‘R. eludens’ (RUEL-846-22, Atto 594); host nuclei are stained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The results are representative of five independent experiments. b, A TEM image of a cross-section of Trichoplax H2 with ‘G. incantans’ and ‘R. eludens’ indicated in false colour (for raw image data see Supplementary Fig. 5). c,d, TEM images of fibre cells. ‘G. incantans’ is indicated with white arrows and the rER with white arrowheads. e,f, TEM images of ventral epithelial cells containing ‘R. eludens’. Outer membrane vesicles are indicated with black arrowheads, fimbriae-like structures with black arrows and internal structures by a white asterisk. Results in b−f are representative of three independent experiments.
