Fine Art Prints From Science Photo Library
C. elegans mutant worm, light micrograph
C. elegans worm. Differential interference contrast micrograph of a rolling mutant Caenorhabditis elegans worm. Rolling mutants move in a circular, rather then the normal sinusoidal, path. The lawn of Escherichia coli bacteria that the worm feeds on in the laboratory can be seen in the background. C. elegans is a soil-dwelling hermaphrodite nematode worm and one of the most studied animals in biological and genetic research. A tendency to reproduce by self-fertilisation (resulting in identical offspring), along with the short time taken to reach maturity, make this tiny worm an ideal subject

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a C. elegans mutant worm, captured under the lens of a light microscope. The differential interference contrast micrograph reveals the unique characteristics of this rolling mutant specimen. Unlike its counterparts, this particular worm moves in a circular path instead of the usual sinusoidal motion. Intriguingly, the background unveils a lawn of Escherichia coli bacteria, which serves as nourishment for these laboratory-dwelling creatures. C. elegans is an extraordinary hermaphrodite nematode worm that resides in soil environments and has become one of the most extensively studied animals in biological and genetic research. The remarkable ability of self-fertilization leading to identical offspring, coupled with its rapid maturation process, makes this tiny organism an ideal subject for scientific investigations. Its red backdrop enhances the visual appeal while emphasizing its classification within animal fauna and zoology. Within this single image lies a wealth of information encompassing various fields such as biology, genetics, genetic engineering, and transgenic organisms. This photograph not only captures the essence of C. elegans but also represents countless hours dedicated to unraveling nature's mysteries through meticulous observation using cutting-edge technology like light microscopy.
