Electron micrograph images of D. geothermalis: Individual cells (a,c,e) and cells during division (b,d) of the wild-type strain DSM11300 (WT; a,b), P23 recombinant strain (c,d) and PX recombinant (e). PX recombinant’s image (e) shows a noticeable destabilization of different parts of the envelope. The stars represent a destabilization of the carbohydrate layer and the arrows of the lipid bilayer. The recombinant PX shows a strongly truncated insertion of a gene coding for the efflux pump (improper pump insertion).
