Bacillus sphaericus, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). These are aerobic, spore-forming, gram-positive bacteria, which can be used as a larvicide for mosquito control. They form spherical endospores during periods of environmental stress to ensure the survival of a bacterium. Magnification: x1330 when printed 10 centimetres wide.
