H. marismortui EM micrograph

Caption

The image shows a complete H. marismortui cell, captured by one of the co-authors in a previous paper. The long tubular extensions seen in the picture are the archaeal filaments, which stretch out from the main body of the cell. The scale bar (1µm) shows the size of the cell.
