Dendrocometes protozoan
Dendrocometes protozoan. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Dendrocometes paradoxus protozoan (single-celled animal). It lives on the gills of freshwater fish and feeds by catching passing particles using its branching tentacles. 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 produce useful biologically active chemicals such as enzymes, antibiotics and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Dendrocometes protozoan, specifically the Dendrocometes paradoxus species. Under the lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this single-celled animal reveals its mesmerizing features. Found residing on the gills of freshwater fish, it utilizes its branching tentacles to capture passing particles for sustenance. Beyond their role in aquatic ecosystems, these remarkable protozoa have also become subjects of intense biotechnology research at Axiva, located within Aventis in Frankfurt, Germany. Scientists are delving into their potential to produce valuable biologically active substances like enzymes, antibiotics, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). By studying these tiny organisms closely and understanding their biochemical processes, researchers hope to unlock new avenues for medical advancements. In this image captured by Science Photo Library's skilled photographers, we witness nature's ingenuity at its finest. The vibrant colors and intricate structures displayed by this microscopic creature remind us of the immense diversity that exists within our world. Through scientific exploration and innovation driven by curiosity rather than commercial interests alone, we gain insights into how life forms can contribute to human well-being beyond what meets the eye.
