Poster Print : Anthrax bacteria spores
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Anthrax bacteria spores
False-colour scanning electron micrograph of spores of the large, rod-shaped bacteria Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax in farm animals. The disease is transmitted to man by contact with infected animal hair, hides or excrement. The bacilli attack either the lungs, causing pneumonia (woolsorters disease), or the skin, producing severe ulceration (malignant pustule). Anthrax is treated with antibiotics. In the body the bacteria appear singly or in pairs, but when cultured they link up to form chains, as seen here. Each bacterium produces a single spore, which then germinates into a new organism.

Discover the intricacies of the natural world with Media Storehouse's scientific poster prints. This captivating image showcases the Anthrax bacteria spores in false-color, captured in stunning detail by Science Photo Library. An essential addition to any laboratory, classroom, or home science space, this print brings the microscopic marvels of Bacillus anthracis to life. Engage in scientific exploration with our high-quality, vibrant poster prints.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Anthrax bacteria spores. The false-color scanning electron micrograph reveals the large, rod-shaped Bacillus anthracis bacteria responsible for causing anthrax in farm animals. This disease can be transmitted to humans through contact with infected animal hair, hides, or excrement. The image vividly portrays the two primary ways this menacing bacterium attacks its victims: either by invading the lungs and causing pneumonia (known as woolsorters disease) or by infecting the skin and resulting in severe ulceration known as malignant pustule. Fortunately, antibiotics offer a treatment option against this formidable pathogen. When observed within the human body, these bacilli appear individually or paired up. However, when cultured under laboratory conditions like those captured here, they link together to form chains—a mesmerizing sight that emphasizes their ability to adapt and survive. Each bacterium depicted produces a single spore that eventually germinates into a new organism—an essential part of their life cycle highlighted in this photograph. With an impressive magnification of x2825 at 6x4.5 cm size, we are granted an extraordinary glimpse into the microscopic realm where these microbes thrive. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with a remarkable visual representation of one of nature's most fascinating yet dangerous organisms—Anthrax bacteria spores—which serves as a reminder of both their complexity and potential harm if not properly understood and managed.
