EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the destructive power of E. coli bacteria in a mesmerizing display of color and detail. The image, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), reveals the green-colored Escherichia coli bacteria attached to the remains of a deceased cell. E. coli is notorious for its ability to release toxins that disrupt cell membranes, ultimately leading to the death of the affected cell. This photograph vividly illustrates this process, as we witness the remnants of a once-living cell being overtaken by these microscopic invaders. With a magnification level of x4000, this print offers an up-close look at the intricate structure and behavior of E. coli bacteria. The vibrant colors highlight their presence while also serving as a reminder of their potential danger. Biology enthusiasts and researchers alike will appreciate this image for its scientific value and aesthetic appeal. It serves as a testament to our ongoing exploration into microorganisms and their impact on our world. Credit goes to Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library for capturing this stunning snapshot that bridges artistry with microbiology, reminding us just how fascinating—and sometimes devastating—the unseen world can be.
