Lembadion protozoan

Lembadion protozoan. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Lembadion bullinum protozoan (single-celled animal). It is a ciliate protozoan, normally having numerous fine hairs (cilia) around its mouth (green), although these have been removed here. It lives in fresh water and eats other small organsisms. Protozoa such as this are being used in biotechnology research at Axiva (part of Aventis) in Frankfurt, Germany. They are being studied to see if they can be used to make useful biologically active chemicals such as enzymes, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and antibiotics. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a Lembadion protozoan, a single-celled animal found in fresh water. The vibrant colors and fine hairs surrounding its mouth (which have been removed for this image) highlight the beauty and complexity of this tiny organism. Taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this high-resolution photograph provides us with an up-close look at the world of microorganisms. It is fascinating to observe how these ciliate protozoa play a crucial role in biotechnology research conducted at Axiva, located in Frankfurt, Germany. Scientists are studying these remarkable creatures to determine if they can be utilized to produce valuable biologically active substances such as enzymes, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and antibiotics. By harnessing their unique properties, researchers hope to unlock new possibilities for medical advancements and industrial applications. The magnification level used for capturing this image remains unknown but serves as a reminder that there is still so much more to discover within our natural world. This photograph not only highlights the importance of understanding microscopic life forms but also emphasizes the potential benefits they may hold for various scientific fields. In summary, this mesmerizing print from Science Photo Library offers us an extraordinary glimpse into the hidden realm of Lembadion protozoa while shedding light on their significant role in cutting-edge biotechnological research.
