Fig. 5From: Characterization of the major autolysin (AtlC) of Staphylococcus carnosusLight microscopy (a, d) and scanning electron microscope (b, c, e, f) of S. carnosus TMW 2.146 and TMW 2.2515 wild-type (a, b, c) and TMW 2.146 and TMW 2.2515 atlC mutant (d, e, f). The cells with the atlC knockout form larger cell aggregates than the wild-type, and the mutants also have a rough surface. The bar shows a length of 1 μmBack to article page
