Bread mould, SEM C017 / 7129

Bread mould. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a sporangium of a bread mould (Mucor sp.). Sporangia are asexual reproductive structures where the moulds spores develop. When the spores are mature the sporangium will split open and release the spores into the air. Mangnification: x440 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of bread mould at a microscopic level. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals a sporangium, which is an asexual reproductive structure where spores develop in the Mucor sp. fungus. With a magnification of x440 when printed at 10 centimetres tall, this image allows us to appreciate the complexity and diversity found within the world of fungi. The vibrant colours captured in this SEM highlight the fascinating details present in bread mould. As we observe this image, we can see how these sporangia play a crucial role in fungal reproduction. Once matured, they burst open, releasing countless spores into the air for dispersal. Microfield Scientific Ltd/Science Photo Library has expertly captured this moment of biological significance through their advanced imaging techniques. This photograph not only serves as an aesthetic masterpiece but also offers valuable insights into mycology and microbiology. As we delve into the realm of microscopic organisms like bread mould, our understanding deepens regarding their vital roles within ecosystems and human health alike. Through images such as this one, Science Photo Library continues to inspire curiosity and appreciation for nature's wonders on both macroscopic and microscopic scales.
