A scientist wearing a orange life vest leaning against the rails of a large research boat. Aerial view of a winding river snaking through a green landscape. A digital illustration of light green rod-shaped bacteria floating in front of an uneven dark green surface suggestive of the gut lining. These images, generated by soft X-ray tomography performed by Berkeley Lab scientists, show the algae at different stages of cell division. UCYN-A, the nitrogen-fixing entity now considered an organelle, is cyan; the algal nucleus is depicted in blue, mitochondria are green, and chloroplasts are lilac. A computer screen floating in front of a supercomputing facility with a virus and bacteria coming out of the top. A large root system connects the computer with dirt floor full of soil organisms. A wooden walkway over a marshy flat area with shallow water and visible vegetation. Set against a bright blue sky with clouds. Graphic collage of a scientist holding a beaker in front of a teal background. Microscope illustration A cartoon-like graphic showing multicolored microbes and viruses on a dark blue background. A searchlight tracks over the microbes, revealing a section of colorful DNA inside a bacterium. An illustration of a glowing orb of light near a shadowed forest floor, with small leaves illuminated by the orb A vial containing brightly colored shapes representing molecules sits on a beige surface next to empty blue vials A digital illustration showing red virus particles each with a geometrically shaped capsule, stalk, and leg-like appendages attached to the surface of a green bacterium.
