Immunoelectron microscopy. (a) Electron microscopy of a typical small aggregate (cf. Figure 1(c)), consisting of ANME-2/SRB. Several single cells are surrounded by a thick multilayered mucilage. (b) Detail of the aggregate as depicted in (a). The MCR expressing ANME-2 cells are labelled with small gold dots (black arrows point to some dots); the SRB (upper right cell) show a low background labelling (black arrows).
