A comparative ultrastructure study of the tardigrade Ramazzottius varieornatus in the hydrated state, after desiccation and during the process of rehydration
Fig 5
Comparison of mitochondria from Ram. varieornatus in four stages: Tuns, after 5 minutes of rehydration, after 15 minutes of rehydration and hydrated.
(a–d) Transmission electron microscopy images. Scale bar a-d = 500 nm. (e) Mean mitochondrial sizes. The error bars indicate the standard error of the mean. <*> indicates a significant difference at p < 0.05 (Student’s t-test, α = 0.05). <***> indicates a significant difference at p < 0.0001 (Student’s t-test, α = 0.05). See Table 1 for all of the statistical results. m: mitochondria.
