Appearance of gaps between large aggregates. (a) Overview: large patches outside aggregates show intense fluorescence (arrows) after staining with fluorescently labeled ConA lectin. (b) Electron micrograph of a 300 nm thick section from the aggregate periphery with intact cells (left) and cell debris embedded in EPS (right). Arrows point to long filaments.
