Hartmannella amoeba and bacterium
Hartmannella amoeba and bacterium. Computer artwork of a Hartmannella vermiformis amoeba (green) engulfing a Legionella pneumophila bacterium (orange) with a pseudopodium, a foot- like extension of its cytoplasm. H. vermiformis is a single- celled organism that is found in soil and fresh- water and feeds on bacteria. L. pneumophila is the causative agent of Legionnaires disease, a respiratory disease. It is able to resist digestion and replicate inside the amoeba. The passage through the amoeba makes the bacterium more virulent when it is inhaled by a human

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the intricate relationship between a Hartmannella vermiformis amoeba and a Legionella pneumophila bacterium. The vibrant green hue of the amoeba contrasts with the striking orange color of the bacterium, creating a visually stunning image. The pseudopodium, resembling a foot-like extension, is prominently displayed as it engulfs the L. pneumophila bacterium. This process known as phagocytosis allows the single-celled organism to trap and feed on bacteria in its environment. However, this particular interaction holds greater significance due to L. pneumophila's ability to resist digestion and replicate within the amoeba. L. pneumophila is notorious for being the causative agent of Legionnaires disease, a respiratory illness that can be contracted by inhaling contaminated water droplets containing these pathogenic bacteria. Interestingly, passing through an amoeba enhances its virulence when it enters human lungs. This mesmerizing illustration not only highlights nature's complexity but also serves as a reminder of how microorganisms play crucial roles in our ecosystem and health. It offers valuable insights into biological processes such as phagocytosis while emphasizing the interdependence between different organisms in their natural habitats. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment in biology through this remarkable artwork, showcasing both scientific accuracy and artistic brilliance without compromising commercial use restrictions
