Hijacking the command center of the cell: Nuclear parasites in deep-sea mussels
Microscopy image (fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) confocal microscopy) of tissues from a deep-sea mussel showing the intranuclear parasite Ca. Endonucleobacter in yellow, and the beneficial symbiotic bacteria in green and red. Cell nuclei are stained blue. The right panel is a zoom-in of the white square in the left panel.
