DNA Replication and Genomic Architecture of Very Large Bacteria: Supplemental Video 1

A supplemental video from the 2012 review by Esther R. Angert, "DNA Replication and Genomic Architecture of Very Large Bacteria," from the Annual Review of Microbiology. This movie was compiled from a series of fluorescence microscopy images of equally spaced focal planes through the thickness of an Epulopiscium cell stained with DAPI. Shown is the tip of a mother cell with a small, fully engulfed offspring cell. The mother cell DNA network comes into view first, followed by the more highly condensed DNA network of the offspring.
