Bread mould, SEM C017 / 7127
Bread mould. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a sporangium of a bread mould (Mucor sp.). Sporangia are asexual reproductive structures where the moulds spores develop. When the spores are mature the sporangium will split open and release the spores into the air. Mangnification: x440 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of bread mould at a microscopic level. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals a sporangium, which is an asexual reproductive structure where spores develop in the Mucor sp. fungus. At a magnification of x440 when printed at 10 centimetres tall, every detail of this biological wonder comes to life. The vibrant colours and delicate patterns displayed in this image highlight the fascinating world of mycology and microbiology. The sporangium appears as if it's on the verge of bursting open, ready to release its mature spores into the air for further propagation. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph, we are reminded of nature's remarkable ability to create diverse forms of life even within seemingly mundane objects like bread mould. This image serves as a testament to the hidden wonders that can be discovered through scientific exploration. Microfield Scientific Ltd/Science Photo Library has masterfully captured not only the aesthetic appeal but also the educational value behind this photograph. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate and understand more about fungal biology, reproduction processes, and their crucial role in our ecosystem.
