Illustration of the initially discovered endosymbiont ‘Candidatus Azoamicus ciliaticola’ and its ciliate host. The figure is a composite of a scanning electron microscope image (SEM, grey) and fluorescence images. Visible is the endosymbiont (yellow) and bacterial prey in food vacuoles as well as the large cell nucleus (blue). The outer structure of the weakly fluorescent ciliate as well as the cilia are also visible. Credit S. Ahmerkamp/Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology
