DAY 9 // NICHE
I’ll admit this was a hard one, but what better ecological/microbial niche than roots? 🌱
A symbiosis where Rhizobium colonise legume root nodules, producing ammonium to be used by the plant #Microber2021 #sciart #niche
I am not organised enough to be posting every day
First set of illustrations for #Microber2021
#Microber2021 I haven't been drawing a lot lately, so here's a scifi phage illustration I made a while ago! #phage #sciart
There is something so nice about the rainbow colors@and stamping :) and Phages love it too 😉
#Microber2021 prompt: phage

Day 6 - Phage!
It’s a happy fairylight phage because it’s getting darker outside 🎃
#Microber2021
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! #Microber2021
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 @LizahvdAart #microber2021 list.

On to day 5 of #inktober2021 #Microber2021 🦠🖌️ For todays prompt Lysis 🦠
DAY 5 // LYSIS
Poor little bug is dealing with a nasty case of lytic phage.
#Microber2021 #sciart #lysis
#Microber2021 5: LYSIS.
To spread, #Hepatitis viruses (ABCDEFG…) explode their host cells ('cell lysis') to leave them because they don’t need host membranes to make new virions.

#Microber2021 #inktober2021 Day 4 Dormancy 🦠🖌️ Even bacteria need to rest sometimes 🦠😴
And on day 4 of #Microber2021, a bacterial supervillain lies in dormancy awaiting its revenge
#Microber2021 4: DORMANCY. Bacillus anthracis spores can lay dormant for decades, as tested on Gruinard Island in Scotland in 1942. Apparently safe now! #Inktober2021 #SciArt #PathogenPortraits
#Microber2021 day 3-- flagella. E. Coli have peritrichous flagella, meaning they are all over the cell! #sciart #Sciartober #bacteria
#Microber2021 3: FLAGELLA. Trichomonas is a #Parasite that causes bacterial vaginosis w. FIVE #Flagella & an axostyle. No one knows what the 5th one does. #Inktober2021 #SciArt #PathogenPortraits
DAY 3 // FLAGELLA
A little homage to The Simpsons with this one
#microber2021 #sciart #flagella
Thought I would give #microber2021 a go (with a bit of a late start). Let’s see how long I can keep it up 😅 #biofilm
