Bacillus subtilis bacteria in cell division

Description: False-color transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of Bacillus subtilis bacteria undergoing a cellular division. Here, in this late phase of replication, the cell wall (at center, pink) separating the two new sister cells has almost completely formed. Amembranous structure is seen in each cell; bacteria do not contain a nucleus, and the DNA genetic material is scattered (light pink on yellow). B. subtilis, or the Hay Bacillus, is an aerobic rod-shaped Gram-positive bacteria. It is sometimes pathogenic on humans: causing severe eye infections (iridocyclitis & panopthalmitis). Magnification: x7,400 at 6x7cm size.
