Fig. 1From: Whole genome sequencing and identification of Bacillus endophyticus and B. anthracis isolated from anthrax outbreaks in South AfricaPhenotypic electron microscopic examination of the morphology of Bacillus anthracis and B. endophyticus strains. (a) Gram-positive vegetative cells of B. anthracis Sterne long, bacilli chains, (b) B. anthracis 3618_2D capsulated in blood serum, (c) Gram-positive vegetative cells of B. endophyticus short, bacilli chains, and (d) B. endophyticus 3631_9D non-capsulated in blood, (e) capsulated B. anthracis 3618_2D and (f) B. endophyticus 3631_9D non-capsulated with spores after incubation on nutrient agar containing 0.8% sodium bicarbonate in the presence of 5% CO2Back to article page
