Bacterial cell
Bacterial cell, computer artwork. This is ageneralised bacterium, illustrating features ofdifferent bacterial types that would not becombined in a single cell. The upper part is Grampositive: that is, it has a thick outer wall(pink) made of peptidoglycan over a singlemembrane. The lower part is Gram negative, with athin peptidoglycan layer between two membranes.Flagella (pink, green base) and cilia (yellow), threads that allow bacteria to move, are alsoseen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer artwork of a bacterial cell, providing a glimpse into the intricate world of microorganisms. The image represents a generalized bacterium, combining various features from different bacterial types that would not typically be found in one single cell. The upper part of the bacterium is Gram positive, distinguished by its thick outer wall colored in an elegant shade of pink. This wall is composed of peptidoglycan and envelops a single membrane. In contrast, the lower part exemplifies Gram negative characteristics with its thin peptidoglycan layer sandwiched between two membranes. Notably, this artwork also highlights the presence of flagella and cilia within the bacterial cell. Flagella are depicted as pink structures with green bases while yellow threads represent cilia. These appendages play crucial roles in enabling bacteria to move and navigate their surroundings. Through this magnified image, we gain insight into the general structure and composition of bacterial cells. It serves as a valuable tool for researchers in fields such as bacteriology and microbiology who seek to understand these microorganisms at a microscopic level. This stunning illustration was created by Science Photo Library, renowned for their exceptional visual representations that bridge science and art seamlessly.
