Canvas Print : LM of Cryptococcus neoformans fungi
Canvas Prints from Science Photo Library
LM of Cryptococcus neoformans fungi
Coloured light micrograph of Cryptococcus neoformans fungi, the cause of cryptococcosis. This yeast-like organism grows by budding in infected tissues and in culture at temperatures between 25 and 37 Celsius. Its most distinctive feature is the presence of an acidic mucopolysaccharide capsule (blue) which completely encloses the fungus. Cryptococcosis is a rare infection and affects people with a deficient immune system such as in AIDS. It is caused by inhaling the fungus found in soil contaminated by pigeon droppings. Infection may cause meningitis or granular growths in the lungs, skin or elsewhere. Magnification: x1500 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured light micrograph of Cryptococcus neoformans fungi, the notorious culprit behind cryptococcosis. This yeast-like organism thrives by budding in infected tissues and at temperatures ranging from 25 to 37 Celsius. What sets it apart is its striking feature – an all-encompassing acidic mucopolysaccharide capsule that shrouds the fungus in a mesmerizing shade of blue. Cryptococcosis, though rare, poses a significant threat to individuals with compromised immune systems such as those suffering from AIDS. The infection primarily occurs through inhaling the fungus present in soil contaminated by pigeon droppings. Once inside the body, this insidious pathogen can cause meningitis or give rise to granular growths in various locations including the lungs, skin, and other areas. The image itself is truly remarkable; magnified at x1500 and printed at a size of 6x4.5cm, it offers an up-close glimpse into the intricate world of nature's mycology. As part of Science Photo Library's collection on fungal organisms and their impact on our environment and health, this photograph serves as both a scientific resource and an artistic marvel.
