Figure Lengend Snippet: Fluorescence of spirochetes transformed with a GFP plasmid. B. afzelii #1192 transformed with in vitro methylated (a) and with unmethylated pBSV2_OspA_GFP (b). B. afzelii #1201 transformed with in vitro methylated (c) and with unmethylated pBSV2_OspA_GFP (d). B. garinii #1195 transformed with in vitro methylated pBSV2_OspA_GFP (e). B. garinii #1226 transformed with in vitro methylated pBSV2_OspA_GFP (f). All cultures were grown in modified BSK II medium at 34°C. All photos were taken using a Nikon Eclipse TE300 Inverted Fluorescence Phase Contrast Microscope using a 40x objective.
