Legionella pneumophila
Caption
Under a moderately-high magnification of 10000X, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) depicted a number of Gram-negative Legionella pneumophila bacteria. Please see PHIL 11092 through 11152 for additional SEMs of these organisms, specifically PHIL 11136 for a colorized version of this image. Of particular importance, is the presence of polar flagella, and pili, or long streamers, which due to their fragile nature, in some of these views seem to be dissociated from any of the bacteria. For a better view of these cellular appendages, see the colorized version.
