Archaea (Methanosarcina sp. ) SEM C013 / 7189
Archaea (Methanosarcina sp.) scanning electron micrograph (SEM). These primitive archaebacteria have unusual cell walls and membranes and are methane producers. They are found in places with low or no oxygen such as rubbish dumps, sediments and in some mammal and insect intestines. They are classed as extremophiles because of their living environment which would be deadly to most other lifeforms. Magnification x36950 (x9000 at 10cm wide)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Archaea (Methanosarcina sp. ), a group of primitive archaebacteria. Under the scanning electron microscope, their unusual cell walls and membranes come to life, revealing their unique characteristics. These remarkable microorganisms are known for their ability to produce methane and thrive in environments with low or no oxygen. Found in diverse habitats such as rubbish dumps, sediments, and even within the intestines of certain mammals and insects, these extremophiles have adapted to survive in conditions that would be lethal for most other lifeforms. Their classification as extremophiles highlights their resilience and ability to flourish where others cannot. At a staggering magnification of x36950 (x9000 at 10cm wide), this image provides an up-close look into the microscopic world of archaea. The intricate details captured by the scanning electron microscope offer valuable insights into the fascinating field of microbiology. This mesmerizing photograph is a testament to the diversity and adaptability found within our natural world. It serves as a reminder that even in seemingly inhospitable environments, life finds a way to thrive against all odds.
