Fig. 6From: Spatial organization of the kelp microbiome at micron scalesEndophytic bacteria of N. luetkeana. A Cross section showing Bacteroidetes rods colonizing intercellular spaces of brightly autofluorescent kelp surface cells. B A region in which the biofilm is directly adjacent to the kelp tissue and some Granulosicoccus are observed between kelp cells. C Bacteria were also detected colonizing deeper areas of the tissue, in this instance around 120 μm from the surface. D Enlarged image of the dashed rectangle in (C)Back to article page
