FIGURE 3

Electron microscopy (EM) reveals variations between N843_10 and N843_15 cell morphology. (A). N843_10 displays typical L. monocytogenes morphology of rod-shaped cells whereas the filamented N843_15 cells varied in shape (B) N843_10 cells displayed normal cell wall morphology and separation during cell division whilst N843_15 cells displayed altered cell wall morphology and lacked clear cell division septum demarcation. (C) N843_10 has a normal cell wall and is undergoing normal septum formation whereas N843_15 has altered cell walls with loosely attached fragments of peptidoglycan protruding from its surface giving it a solar flare appearance.
