Left image: FISH of two species: Yellow: Clustered and single cells of E coli. Red: Filamentous Herpetosiphon.

Right image: MAR image of uptake of radioactive glucose. Dark spots reveal uptake of glucose by E. coli.

Poster art prepared by Stockholm Vatten Sweden from SEM images made by N. M. Lee, E. Carlemalm and T. Welander, Lund University Sweden.

The SEM image shows different types of prototoza (stalked and free-living ciliates and amoeba) among activated sludge bacteria from a wastewater treatment plant.


Popular scientific report on extremophilic organisms presented on a CAREX meeting in Prague, - article by Eva Vlckova, for the Czech Republic newspaper Lidové noviny (images on Tardigrada by N L.ee).
