Fine Art Print : Thalassomyxa australis protozoan
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Thalassomyxa australis protozoan
Thalassomyxa protozoan. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Thalassomyxa australis prot- ozoan (single-celled animal). This naked amoeba lives in the seas off western Australia and eats diatoms. It changes shape over a regular period of time between the active form seen here and an inactive round form. Protozoa such as this are being used in biotechnology research at Axiva (part of Aventis) in Frankfurt, Germany. They are being studied to see if they can be used to produce useful biologically active chemicals such as enzymes, antibiotics and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Thalassomyxa australis protozoan, a single-celled animal found in the seas off western Australia. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) captures the mesmerizing details of this naked amoeba as it assumes its active form while feasting on diatoms. What makes this particular species fascinating is its ability to transform between an active shape and an inactive round form at regular intervals. This unique characteristic has caught the attention of scientists at Axiva, part of Aventis in Frankfurt, Germany, who are conducting biotechnology research using these protozoa. The aim of their study is to explore whether these remarkable organisms can be utilized to produce valuable biologically active chemicals like enzymes, antibiotics, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). By harnessing the potential of Thalassomyxa australis and other similar protozoa, researchers hope to unlock new possibilities in various fields such as medicine and biochemistry. Although the magnification used for this image remains unknown, it undeniably offers us a glimpse into the microscopic wonders that exist within our oceans. As we delve deeper into understanding these tiny marine creatures and their incredible capabilities, we gain insights that may revolutionize how we approach scientific research and development.
