Jigsaw Puzzle : Coloured SEM of Clostridium botulinum
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Coloured SEM of Clostridium botulinum
Food poisoning bacterium. Coloured scanning electron micrograph of the Gram-positive anaerobic bacteria Clostridium botulinum, responsible for serious food poisoning in humans. C. botulinum grows in badly preserved canned foods, notably meat and fish, and produces the potent exotoxin that causes botulism poisoning. The toxin affects the central nervous system of humans; in fatal cases death results from heart and lung failure due to malfunctions in the cardiac and respiratory centres of the brain. Magnification: x18, 000 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured scanning electron micrograph of Clostridium botulinum, a Gram-positive anaerobic bacterium infamous for causing severe food poisoning in humans. The image vividly captures the intricate details of this microscopic organism responsible for botulism poisoning. Clostridium botulinum thrives in poorly preserved canned foods, particularly meat and fish, where it multiplies and releases a potent exotoxin. This toxin targets the central nervous system of humans, leading to serious health consequences. In fatal cases, death occurs due to heart and lung failure caused by disruptions in the cardiac and respiratory centers of the brain. With a magnification level of x18,000 at 6x4.5cm size, this photograph offers an up-close look at the complex structure of C. botulinum. Its vibrant colors highlight its significance within the field of microbiology and bacteriology. The presence of these bacteria serves as a reminder to prioritize proper food preservation techniques to prevent contamination by harmful microbes like Clostridium botulinum. Through scientific research and understanding such organisms on a microscopic level, we can work towards developing effective strategies to combat foodborne illnesses caused by these dangerous bacteria. This remarkable print from Science Photo Library not only captivates with its visual appeal but also educates viewers about the importance of microbial safety in our daily lives.
