Neorickettsia in various tissues of adult P. elegans. a Endobacteria (arrows) in the tegument (HPF/FS). b Similar section as in a, but in a chemically fixed specimen. c Endobacteria (arrows and square) in the gut epithelium (HPF/FS). d Magnification of the squared area in c showing endobacteria (arrows) in proximity of mitochondria and ribosomes (asterisks). e Endobacterium (arrow) between vitelline cells within a follicle. Abbreviations: g, gut; m, mitochondrion; p, parenchyma; sgc, shell globule cluster; ts, tegumental syncytium; vf, vitelline follicle;. Scale-bars: a-c, 2 μm; d, e, 500 nm
