EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of microorganisms. In this computer artwork, we are presented with a close-up view of a bacterium adorned with numerous long flagella, which can be seen in the upper right corner. These flagella play a crucial role in propelling the bacterium through its environment. Bacteria, although often associated with causing diseases in humans, are fascinating organisms that have been extensively studied by scientists. Many bacterial infections can now be effectively treated using antibiotic drugs. Among the rod-shaped (bacillus) bacteria featured here are Salmonella and Escherichia coli, both well-known pathogens. The level of detail captured in this image is truly remarkable. When printed at just 10 centimeters wide, it magnifies the bacterium to an astonishing x14,000 times its actual size! This allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty found within these tiny creatures. This illustration serves as a reminder of how diverse and abundant microorganisms are in our world. It highlights their importance not only as potential threats to human health but also as essential players in various ecological processes. Through art and science combined, we gain insight into the microscopic realm that surrounds us every day – one filled with motile microbes like this mesmerizing bacterium.
