Figure Legend Snippet: Physical sectioning improves hybridization of Gram-positive bacteria. Bacterial cells were hybridized under identical conditions either as whole cell mounts (left) or after embedding and sectioning (right) and imaged with confocal microscopy. Differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy images are shown to display all cells in the field of view. Fluorescence images display hybridization signal from the FISH probe Eub338-Dy505. Across individual species, image acquisition and display settings were kept constant to allow comparison between the two sample preparations. In whole mounts, only a small fraction of the cells stain brightly. In sections, fluorescence signal is homogeneous, and most cells stain brightly. R. mucilaginosa , which hybridizes well in whole cell mounts, is shown as a positive control. Scale bar = 10 microns.

Figure Legend Snippet: Hybridization in sections depends on bacterial size and morphology. Confocal Z-stacks were acquired from 5 μm thick sections of three difficult-to-hybridize Gram-positive taxa, Streptococcus salivarius (Str. sal .), Schaalia odontolytica (Sch. odo .), and Corynebacterium matruchotii (Cor. mat .), differing in size and shape. A fourth taxon, Rothia mucilaginosa (Rot. muc .), that hybridizes readily in whole cell mounts was included as a positive control. ( A ) Fluorescence image of the center focal plane of the physical section. S. salivarius and S. odontolytica show non-homogeneous hybridization in this plane. ( B ) Orthogonal view of the YZ-plane indicated by the yellow line in ( A ) showing a strong signal at the cut faces and a dramatic reduction of signal in the interior of the section for taxa with cocci or rod morphology, whereas the filamentous taxon, C. matruchotii , does not show this reduction. ( C ) Average intensity projection across all YZ planes. ( D ) Enlarged view of the yellow box shown in panel C . Hybridization extended further into the section for filamentous C. matruchotii . ( E ) Plots displaying average image intensity across all Z-positions in microns, where zero represents the center focal plane of the physical section. The morphology of the bacterium correlates with the level of hybridization in the interior of the section. White scale bar = 10 microns. Red scale bar = 5 microns. The image shown in the first row of column A is the same as the image labeled “0.00” in .
