Figure 5

Morphological variation of bacteria housed within different CAMAs. Note that bacteria within each CAMA are morphologically similar. Dotted lines (in ad,il) delineate regions magnified in close-up images (eh,mp). Overall, five bacterial morphologies were detected: rod-like (a,e), pleomorphic (b,f), long rods (c,g), filamentous-like (d,h), rod-shaped with spore-like structures (i,j,m,n), and putative amorphous masses (k,l,o,p). Scale bars indicate 10 µm (ad,il) and 5 µm (eh,mp).
