Greetings Card : TEM of dividing staphylococcus aureus
Cards from Science Photo Library
TEM of dividing staphylococcus aureus
False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of Staphylococcus aureus, showing a bacterium in the process of division by binary fission. The two daughter cells produced by the division are about to separate, along the length of the red line in the centre of the image. S. aureus is a spherical, non-motile, Gram-positive bacterium causing pus-forming infections such as boils and abscesses. It also secretes an exotoxin that causes a type of gastro-enteritis. Magnification: x34, 000 at 35mm size, x68, 000 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate process of division in Staphylococcus aureus, a Gram-positive bacterium known for causing pus-forming infections and gastro-enteritis. In this false-color transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we witness the remarkable moment when a single bacterium splits into two daughter cells through binary fission. The image reveals a spherical S. aureus bacterium at the center, with a vivid red line running along its length indicating the imminent separation of the offspring. The level of magnification is truly awe-inspiring: x34,000 at 35mm size and an even more astonishing x68,000 at 6x7cm size. As we delve into this microscopic world of bacteria, it becomes evident that life's most fundamental processes occur on scales invisible to our naked eye. This TEM offers us a glimpse into how these tiny organisms propagate and multiply, perpetuating their existence in various environments. While S. aureus may be notorious for its role in infections and illnesses such as boils and abscesses, it is also fascinating to consider how such minuscule entities can have significant impacts on human health. Through exotoxin secretion, this bacterium can cause gastro-enteritis—a reminder that even seemingly insignificant microbes possess incredible abilities to influence our well-being. Science Photo Library continues to provide invaluable visual resources like this one—bridging the gap between scientific research and public understanding by capturing moments that reveal nature's hidden wonders within microorganisms.
