Kefir bacteria, SEM
Kefir bacteria. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Lactococcus bacteria from kefir, a fermented milk beverage containing beneficial yeast as well as probiotic bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria produce lactic acid from the milk sugar lactose. The acid coagulates the milk. Yeasts produce carbon dioxide and a low concentration of ethanol (alcohol). Kefir thus tastes somewhat like an acidic carbonated drink. Magnification: x7000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of kefir bacteria, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals Lactococcus bacteria, which are an essential component of kefir - a fermented milk beverage known for its numerous health benefits. Alongside these beneficial bacteria, kefir also contains yeast that contributes to its probiotic properties. The SEM magnification of x7000 allows us to appreciate the fascinating details within this microscopic universe. Lactic acid bacteria play a vital role in kefir production by converting lactose, a sugar found in milk, into lactic acid. This acid coagulates the milk and gives it a distinct taste and texture. Additionally, yeasts present in kefir produce carbon dioxide and trace amounts of ethanol or alcohol. As we explore this mesmerizing image further, we can't help but draw parallels between the appearance of these tiny organisms and other elements such as coal or blood cells. The intricate patterns formed by the interplay of different bacterial structures evoke curiosity about their function and significance within our bodies. Printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph is not only visually stunning but also serves as a reminder of the wonders hidden within nature's smallest creations. It invites contemplation on how something so minuscule can have such profound effects on our well-being when harnessed correctly.
