Aims: The primary aim tvas to use transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to define the location of epithelium-associated bacteria in the digestive tract: of the salmonid fish, Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus). Methods and Results: TEM and SEN examination of the gastrointestinal tract demonstrated substantial numbers of ovoid and rod-shaped bacterial cells associated with the microvillous brush borders of enterocytes. Bacteria were found at the tips of microvilli as well as between adjacent microvilli. Endocytosis of bacteria by epithelial cells was observed in two regions (pyloric caeca and midgut). Conclusions: Electron microscope examination of the gut is an important tool for evaluating the microbial ecology of the fish digestive tract ecosystem. Significance and Impact of the Study: The results of the current study clearly demonstrate that the intestine is involved in bacterial endocytosis.
