Reference Fenton AK, Kanna M, Woods RD, Aizawa SI, Sockett RE. Shadowing the actions of a predator: backlit fluorescent microscopy reveals synchronous nonbinary septation of predatory Bdellovibrio inside prey and exit through discrete bdelloplast pores.

Method Electron microscopy
Comments Bdellovibrio septation, once initiated, takes 41 min independent of the number of progeny, and maturation of progeny and final bdelloplast lysis takes on average 26 min (Fig. 3A), depending on progeny number.
