Fig. 5From: Identification and elimination of genomic regions irrelevant for magnetosome biosynthesis by large-scale deletion in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldenseXEDS spectra and TEM micrographs (insets) of individual EDPs. EDPs were found in deletion strains ∆M01–∆M05 and ∆M13. Exemplary the mutants ∆M03 and ∆M05 are shown. Spectra indicate that EDPs are rich in potassium, phosphorus and oxygen, while no significant amounts of iron could be detectedBack to article page
