Fig. 8. Diagram showing effect of compaction of a coccoid cyanobacterial aggregate. A–C. 3D aggregate without compaction (A) and under different degree of compaction. D–G. Axial vertical section of the same aggregate without compaction (D) and under different degree of compaction; note that in G outlines of cells and/or capsules are no more identifiable. Not to scale.
