A High Magnification Image of Sediment Enriched in Syntrophic Consortia

Caption

Pictured is a high magnification image of sediment enriched in syntrophic consortia. In the center of the image is an overview of sediment containing cells, and individual -- roughly spherical -- microbial communities are shown at high magnification at the ends of lines extending from the center. Fluorescent signals show the ANME-2c archaeal subgroup in red, and sulfate reducing bacteria are shown in green. Sediment particles appear yellow.
