a, Bacterial endosymbionts in the cytoplasm of R. microsporus ATCC 62417; b, symbiont-free R. microsporus ATCC 62417; c, R. microsporus ATCC 62417 after reinfection. Mycelium was stained with SYTO® 9 from the Live/Dead BacLight Bacterial Viability Kit (Molecular Probes – L7007) and observed using a Zeiss LSM 510 Meta Laser Microscope at 480/500 nm (top row: white light and fluorescence mode; bottom row: fluorescence mode only). Green fluorescence indicates that bacteria are alive. Scale bars are shown red for clarity.
