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.

On to day 5 of 🦠🖌️ For todays prompt Lysis 🦠

DAY 5 // LYSIS
Poor little bug is dealing with a nasty case of lytic phage.

5: LYSIS.

To spread, viruses (ABCDEFG…) explode their host cells ('cell lysis') to leave them because they don’t need host membranes to make new virions.

And on day 4 of a bacterial supervillain lies in dormancy awaiting its revenge

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.

Thought I would give a go (with a bit of a late start). Let’s see how long I can keep it up 😅

2: CELL. causes blindness and but it needs a host cell to turn it’s tiny elementary bodies into something that can replicate.
