Figure Lengend Snippet: Transmission electron micrographs of invasion of HGEC and KB by F. nucleatum 12230. (A) F. nucleatum entering HGEC; (B) F. nucleatum internalized in HGEC, with the membrane of the vacuole indicated by the arrow in the inset; (C) F. nucleatum invading and internalized in KB, as indicated by the arrows. C, cytoplasm; N, nucleus. Numbers in parentheses indicate original magnifications.
