Identifying the assembly pathway of cyanophage inside the marine bacterium using electron cryo-tomography

Advances in electron cryo-tomography open up a new avenue to visualize the 3-D internal structure of a single bacterium before and after its infection by bacteriophages in its native environment, without using chemical fixatives, fluorescent dyes or negative stains. Such direct observation reveals t...
