Escherichia coli is the workhorse of microbiology and biotechnology — the most studied organism in the lab. This watercolor renders that flagellated bacterium in vivid, colorful detail.
Faithful to the microbe researchers know intimately and brought into warm, vibrant color, it celebrates a quiet hero of modern science. Created from original watercolors and digitally enhanced for clean, vibrant detail.
A natural fit for microbiology and research labs, clinics and classrooms, and a gift for a microbiologist, lab tech or biology teacher.
