Cryo-ET of a Pf4 liquid crystalline droplet in association with a P. aeruginosa cell (related to Fig. 5) A video containing sequential Z-slices of a reconstructed electron cryotomogram of a Pf4 liquid crystalline droplet (tactoid) in association with a P. aeruginosa cell. The tactoid is in close proximity to the bacterial cell, with some Pf4 filaments wrapping around the pole of the bacteria.

Phage liquid crystalline droplets form occlusive sheaths that encapsulate and protect infectious rod-shaped bacteria
