E. coli bacteria

False-colour transmission electron micrograph of the bacterium Escherichia coli, a normal inhabitant of the human intestine. The pair in the centre are in the act of separating following binary fission, the process by which a bacterium divides in two. Under certain conditions E. coli bacteria may become harmful and cause infection in the intestinal or urinogenital tracts. E. coli is the organism most commonly used in genetic engineering experiments. Magnification: x16, 500 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour transmission electron micrograph of the infamous E. coli bacteria. As a normal resident of the human intestine, this bacterium plays an essential role in our digestive system. The central pair depicted in the image is engaged in the fascinating process of binary fission, where a single bacterium divides into two. While typically harmless, under certain conditions, E. coli can transform into a pathogenic organism and cause infections in both the intestinal and urinogenital tracts. Its ability to become harmful highlights its significance as one of the most common causes of gastroenteritis and urinary tract infections. Beyond its medical implications, E. coli also holds great importance within genetic engineering experiments due to its widespread use as an organism for research purposes. This versatile bacterium allows scientists to delve deep into understanding various biological processes and develop innovative solutions for numerous medical challenges. Captured at an impressive magnification level of x16,500 on a 6x4.5cm scale, this coloured micrograph offers us a glimpse into the intricate world of these tiny microbes that coexist with us humans every day. It serves as a reminder that even organisms we may take for granted can possess immense potential for both harm and benefit when examined through scientific lenses.
