E. coli bacterium, TEM

E. coli bacterium, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). E. coli are Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria that are part of the normal flora of the human gut. Some strains produce a toxin that causes severe diarrhoea and can be fatal, especially in the very young or elderly. Magnification: x19, 500 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the E. coli bacterium in all its intricate detail. Taken using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), this coloured micrograph allows us to marvel at the beauty and complexity of these Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria. E. coli is not just any ordinary microorganism; it is an integral part of the human gut's normal flora. However, certain strains can turn into deadly pathogens, producing toxins that lead to severe diarrhoea and even fatal consequences, particularly among vulnerable populations such as infants and the elderly. The magnification level of x19,500 ensures that every minute structure is visible when printed at 10 centimetres wide. The false colours used in this image enhance our understanding of E. coli's biological makeup and highlight its distinctive rod shape. Bacteriology enthusiasts will appreciate how this print captures the essence of microbiology research by providing a close-up view of one of nature's most fascinating organisms. Researchers studying enteric diseases or exploring bacterial pathogenesis will find great value in examining this image closely. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional piece that combines scientific accuracy with artistic flair, reminding us that even within seemingly simple structures lie complex worlds waiting to be discovered.
