Streptomyces lividans 66 producing poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG). The image shows a mycelium from an 18 h old liquid-grown culture of the matAB double mutant genetically complemented by introduction of a plasmid expressing matAB. PNAG was stained with monoclonal antibody mAb F598 (yellow). To visualize the hyphae, the DNA was stained with PI (red).
