Discovery and Characterization of Iron Sulfide and Polyphosphate Bodies Coexisting in Archaeoglobus fulgidus Cells

Figure 6

Combined EDX analysis of two granules in a single A. fulgidus cell. (a) STEM image of the analyzed cell; the area scanned by the probe is shown as an orange box. The two granules are labeled as G#1 and G#2. (b) The EDX area scans for each element found in the region specified in (a), which contains both G#1 and G#2. Each element is plotted in a different color. (c) The individual EDX point spectra from the locations specified in (a) by crosses with the numbers 1 and 2. The first spectrum is from G#1 and the second one is from G#2.
