Cryptococcus cell dividing, TEM
Cryptococcus cell dividing. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the asexual budding (lower right) of a Cyptococcus sp. yeast cell. Asexual budding results in the formation of a new individual produced from a single parent, as a result of an outgrowth (bud) that becomes detached. Cryptococcus is an encapsulated yeast, comprising 37 species, only one (C. neoformans) of which is pathogenic. It causes cryptococcosis, which attacks the lungs and causes a tumour-like mass (toruloma). Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of Cryptococcus cell division, captured through a colored transmission electron micrograph (TEM). In this image, we witness the fascinating phenomenon of asexual budding in a Cyptococcus sp. yeast cell. Asexual budding involves the emergence of an outgrowth or bud from a single parent cell, which eventually detaches to form an entirely new individual. Cryptococcus is a genus of encapsulated yeasts comprising 37 species, with only one being pathogenic - C. neoformans. This particular species is responsible for cryptococcosis, a condition that primarily affects the lungs and manifests as tumor-like masses known as torulomas. The magnification used to capture this mesmerizing moment remains unknown but serves as a reminder of the microscopic wonders hidden within our world. The vibrant colors employed in this TEM image add depth and intrigue to the already remarkable subject matter. With its emphasis on nature's complexity and medical significance, this photograph highlights various aspects such as reproduction, health care implications, parasitic behavior, disease-causing potentiality, and fungal morphology. It provides valuable insights into mycology (the study of fungi) while shedding light on basidiomycetous organisms like Cryptococcus. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an awe-inspiring visual representation that bridges science and art seamlessly.
