Lactobacillus bacteria, SEM
Lactobacillus sp. bacteria, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Lactobacillus bacteria are probiotic bacteria, which are useful for human and animal health as they produce bacteriocins (toxins that kill off competitive bacteria), which prevents infection by pathogenic bacterial strains. They are usually added to probacterial foods such as yoghurts and health bars. Magnification: x12, 350 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Lactobacillus bacteria, a group of probiotic microorganisms that play a vital role in promoting human and animal health. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), the rod-shaped Lactobacillus sp. bacteria are brought to life with vibrant false colours, revealing their friendly nature. Lactobacillus bacteria are renowned for their ability to produce bacteriocins, which act as potent toxins against competing bacterial strains. By eliminating these harmful pathogens, they effectively safeguard our bodies from potential infections caused by pathogenic bacteria. It is no wonder that these beneficial microbes find their way into various food products such as yoghurts and health bars, enriching them with their remarkable properties. With a magnification of x12,350 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this image allows us to appreciate the beauty within the microscopic realm. The multiple cells of Lactobacillus create an awe-inspiring pattern under the scanning electron microscope (SEM), highlighting the significance of these tiny organisms in both biology and medicine. As we delve into this mesmerizing snapshot captured by Science Photo Library, it serves as a reminder of how nutrition and healthcare intertwine seamlessly through scientific discoveries. This photograph encapsulates not only the wonders of lactobacilli but also represents an amalgamation of microbiology, dairy science, and food technology – all contributing towards enhancing our well-being without mentioning any commercial use or specific company affiliation.
