Stenotrophomonas sp. bacteria
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteria. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a sect- ion through the plant bacteria Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. These bacteria have also been placed in the genera Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas. They are Gram-negative rod-shaped (bacilli) bacteria which live in soil, water and milk. As well as being pathogenic in plants, they have also been known to cause opportunistic infections in humans. Flagellae (long strands) are seen on these bacteria. These threads are beaten to enable the bacteria to move. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Stenotrophomonas sp. bacteria, specifically Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. The coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) captures a section through these fascinating plant bacteria, which have also been classified under the genera Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas. Gram-negative rod-shaped (bacilli) in nature, these resilient bacteria thrive in diverse environments such as soil, water, and even milk. While they are known to be pathogenic to plants, it is noteworthy that they can also cause opportunistic infections in humans. The image reveals the presence of flagellae - long strands that adorn these bacterial cells. These flagella play a crucial role in enabling the bacteria's movement by beating rhythmically. The magnification used for this photograph remains unknown but highlights the intricate details of this microscopic world. Through this stunning visual representation, we gain insight into the complex realm of bacteriology and microbiology. It serves as a reminder of the vast diversity present within our natural surroundings and emphasizes how seemingly insignificant organisms can have significant impacts on both plant life and human health. This print from Science Photo Library offers an opportunity to appreciate the beauty inherent in scientific exploration while deepening our understanding of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and its various facets within microbial ecology.
