Fig. 7

Whole-mount fluorescence in situ hybridization of adult insects of R. dominica for visualizing size and location of the bacteriomes. a Teneral adults (n = 7). b Mature adult females (n = 14). c Mature adult males (n = 14). Symbiont 16S rRNA is stained in red, highlighting the structure of the bacteriomes. All images are taken under an epifluorescence dissection microscope. Some images lack corners where the samples were located near the edge of microscopic visual fields
