Day 6 - Phage!
It’s a happy fairylight phage because it’s getting darker outside 🎃

Day 6 - Sporulation!

Some species of bacteria form spores that can remain dormant for a long time and germinate when conditions are favourable. This is a little Streptomyces Tangela that's making some Streptomyces style spore chains!

The Bacteria Collection: Escherichia coli 💥 (1/8)

Inktober created a great opportunity to make a project that has been on the back of my mind. This collection will be a series of 8 illustrations inspired by prompts from list.

Poor little bug is dealing with a nasty case of lytic phage.

4: DORMANCY. Bacillus anthracis spores can lay dormant for decades, as tested on Gruinard Island in Scotland in 1942. Apparently safe now!

day 3-- flagella. E. Coli have peritrichous flagella, meaning they are all over the cell!

3: FLAGELLA. Trichomonas is a that causes bacterial vaginosis w. FIVE & an axostyle. No one knows what the 5th one does.
