Bacterium

A generic single bacterium shown enlarged in simple scientific clipart style as a tiny rod-shaped to slightly curved capsule-like cell with rounded ends, sometimes slightly oval. It has a smooth outer wall or membrane and pale semi-translucent coloring such as light green, beige, tan, or gray. The interior is simple and prokaryotic, with no visible nucleus and only minimal internal detail such as a faintly darker or granular interior. Some versions include a few short hairlike surface projections or pili and one or several thin short flagella extending from one end or the surface, while the overall appearance remains simple and microscopic.
