Ultracytochemical micrograph showing copper deposits in the cytoplasm of Amycolatopsis sp. AB0, a copper resistant actinobacterium isolated from sediments polluted with copper. This bacterium has the capacity to accumulate copper in the cytosol fraction with lower copper content deposits at cell wall or membrane. (Photo: Beatriz Winik, Tucumán, Argentina)
