A Mixed Culture of a Methane Producer, RC-I Archaeon

Caption

A mixed culture, used to sequence the complete genome of a methane producer, RC-I archaeon. Hybridization, with specific probes for RC-I Archaea (red fluorescent cells) and bacteria (green fluorescent cells), help identify the various components of the mixed culture. The scale is 10 micrometers.
