Bacillus subtilis bacteria, SEM
Bacillus subtilis. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Bacillus subtilis bacteria. B. subtilis, or hay bacillus, is an aerobic, gram-positive bacillus(rod-shaped bacterium). It is sometimes pathogenic in humans, causing severe eye infections such as anterior uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye), or iridocyclitis (inflammation of the iris)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Bacillus subtilis bacteria, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors in this false-colored image highlight the fascinating biology and medical significance of these rod-shaped microorganisms. Bacillus subtilis, also known as hay bacillus, is an aerobic gram-positive bacterium that can have both beneficial and harmful effects on humans. While it typically serves as a harmless inhabitant of our environment, it can occasionally turn pathogenic and cause severe eye infections such as anterior uveitis or iridocyclitis. These conditions involve inflammation in different layers of the eye and can lead to significant discomfort. The complexity of this bacterial species is evident in its multiple roles - from being a potential disease-causing agent to serving as an essential subject for microbiological research. Its distinct shape and characteristics make it easily identifiable under microscopic examination. This striking SEM image not only provides valuable insights into the structure and appearance of Bacillus subtilis but also reminds us of the diverse microbial world that coexists with us. It serves as a testament to the remarkable advancements made in scientific imaging techniques, allowing us to explore hidden realms at a microscopic level.
