Bacteria and other microbes. Illustration of bacteria,bacteriophage viruses,an alga,a protozoan and a fungus in a cell environment. The bacillus (rod-shaped) bacterium at top centre may be Salmonella sp. ,a cause of food poisoning. The other cocci (round) bacteria,at top left,could be Streptococcus sp. ,responsible for diseases such as tonsillitis and pneumonia. At lower right is a bacteriophage,a virus which injects its genetic material into a bacterium forcing it to produce more viruses. At lower left is a protozoan (orange) moving over a filament of Spirogyra sp. algae (green). A fungus is at upper left. Size of organisms not in proportion | |
