[edit] Summary

Transmission electron micrographs of sections of the Bermuda Blob (A) and St. Augustine carcass (B).

Original caption: Low magnification transmission electron micrographs of sections of the Bermuda (A) and St. Augustine (B) carcasses. The collagen fibers of both tissues run in layers that are perpendicular to each other. Within each layer the fibers appear to be organized in bundles (see the upper half of A). This type of fiber organization is typical of skin collagen (see Discussion). Other than the fibers, no other cellular elements were found. Bacteria and bacterial spores (arrows) were scattered throughout the fiber layers in both samples.
