Escherichia coli bacterium
Escherichia coli. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through an Escherichia coli bacterium. E. coli are Gram- negative bacilli (rod-shaped) bacteria. Long flagellae enable the bacterium to move. E. coli is a normal inhabitant of the human intestine. However, under certain conditions its numbers may increase causing infection. It can cause " travellers diarrhoea" and urinary tract infections such as cystitis. E. coli is widely used in genetic studies and genetic engineering. Negatively stained. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the Escherichia coli bacterium in all its intricate detail. Coloured using transmission electron microscopy, this image offers a glimpse into the world of these Gram-negative bacilli bacteria. The long flagellae seen in the photo are what enable E. coli to move, granting it mobility within its environment. While normally a harmless resident of the human intestine, under certain conditions, E. coli can multiply rapidly and lead to infections such as "travellers diarrhoea" and urinary tract infections like cystitis. Beyond its potential for causing health issues, E. coli also plays a significant role in genetic studies and engineering due to its widespread use as a research organism. This versatile bacterium has opened doors for advancements in various scientific fields. The negative staining technique used here adds an artistic touch to the micrograph while highlighting key features of this fascinating microorganism. Although we don't know the exact magnification used for this image, it's clear that every minute detail has been captured with precision. Science Photo Library continues to amaze us with their ability to capture stunning visuals that not only educate but also inspire curiosity about our microscopic world.
