Framed Print : Microcystis blue-green alga
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Microcystis blue-green alga
Blue-green algae. Coloured transmission electron micrograph of a single cell of the blue-green algae Microcystis aeruginosa (also known as Anacystis cyanea). Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) are primitive algae; in structure they are related to bacteria. They are prokaryotes containing no membrane-bound nucleus; instead, as in bacteria, nuclear material is dispersed throughout the cell. Photosynthetic lamellae (thread-like structures, outer part of cell) are the primitive chloroplasts. M.aeruginosa cells are found in colonies; they bloom in late summer and may liberate a toxin that kills plankton, fish and birds. Magnification: x16, 320 at 6x6cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Microcystis blue-green alga, also known as Anacystis cyanea. The coloured transmission electron micrograph reveals a single cell of this primitive algae species, which is closely related to bacteria in structure. Unlike eukaryotes, these prokaryotic organisms lack a membrane-bound nucleus and disperse their nuclear material throughout the cell. The thread-like structures visible on the outer part of the cell are photosynthetic lamellae, serving as primitive chloroplasts. These cyanobacteria cells typically form colonies and exhibit vibrant blooms during late summer. However, there is an ominous side to this algal species; it has been known to release toxins that can prove fatal for plankton, fish, and birds. With a magnification level of x16,320 at 6x6cm size, this image offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the microscopic world of unicellular cyanobacteria. Captured by Science Photo Library's expert lensmen in stunning detail and coloration, this photograph not only highlights nature's incredible diversity but also serves as a valuable resource for botany enthusiasts studying algae or toxic algal species like Microcystis aeruginosa.
