Electron microscopy analysis of E. coli and S. enteriditis before and after lysis. A: Morphology of wild-type E. coli under scanning electron microscopy: intact and healthy. B: Morphology of E. coli after lysis under scanning electron microscopy: shrinkage observed. C: Morphology of wild-type S. enteriditis under transmission electron microscopy: even electron density. D: Morphology of S. enteriditis ghosts after lysis under transmission electron microscopy: uneven electron density, vacuolar. E, F: Observation of the ejection of the intracellular contents from S. enteriditis under transmission electron microscopy. a. S. enteriditis before lysis (12,000 × magnification). b. S. enteriditis after lysis, bacterial ghost (12,000 ×). c. Lysis tunnels on ghosts (12,000 ×). d. Lysis tunnels on ghosts (30,000 ×)
