TEM E. Coli
False colour transmission electron micrograph of the bacterium Escherichia coli, a normal member of human intestinal flora. Under certain conditions it becomes harmful, causing infection in the intestinal or urinogenital tracts. The micrograph shows the bacterium dividing into 2 daughter cells by the process of binary fission. The red areas highlight the nucleic acid or DNA, which carries the genetic information. The DNA lies in the bacterial cytoplasm & is not bound by a separate membrane. As experimental laboratory organisms, E. coli bacteria have played a major role in the development of genetic engineering. Mag: x26, 775 at 10cm tall. Microcosmos P.96 fig.5.16

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a false-color transmission electron micrograph of Escherichia coli, commonly known as E. coli. As a normal member of the human intestinal flora, this bacterium coexists peacefully within our bodies. However, under certain conditions, it can turn harmful and cause infections in the intestinal or urinogenital tracts. The image beautifully captures the process of binary fission, where the bacterium divides into two daughter cells. The red areas highlighted in the picture represent nucleic acid or DNA, which carries crucial genetic information. Unlike eukaryotic cells, E. coli's DNA lies freely in its cytoplasm without being bound by a separate membrane. E. coli has not only been studied for its potential harm but also holds significant importance as an experimental laboratory organism. It has played a pivotal role in advancing genetic engineering techniques that have revolutionized various fields of science and medicine. With a magnification level of x26,775 and standing at 10cm tall on the printed medium, this micrograph offers us a glimpse into the intricate world of microbes and their fascinating cellular processes. Science Photo Library continues to provide remarkable visual resources like this one that bridge artistry with scientific exploration – inviting viewers to appreciate both the beauty and significance found within microscopic realms.
