Methanosaeta, a filamentous methanogenic archaeon, in the fluorescence microscope

Caption

Images of Methanosaeta, a filamentous methanogenic archaeon, from the fluorescence microscope. The individual images each show the same cells stained in different colors. Green: Staining of ribosomal ribonucleic acid in the cells. Blue: Staining of the genetic material. Red: Staining of lipids and the partition walls between individual cells of Methanosaeta. The top image identifies diseased and dead cells in the superposition of all colours.
