Cover photograph (Copyright © 2016, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved): Scanning electron micrograph of predatory Halobacteriovorax spp. attacking Escherichia coli O157:H7. Halobacteriovorax (formerly Bacteriovorax) spp. are small, Gram-negative, predatory bacteria found in the marine environment. These predators enter into a susceptible host bacterium and reside within the periplasmic space where they utilize cytoplasmic nutrients of the host to support growth and replication. The replicative form, known as a bdelloplast, elongates within the host and undergoes septation into progeny cells as the host is lysed, releasing cells capable of attacking more prey. Pictured here are infected E. coli O157:H7 bacteria (rounded) under attack by a strain of Halobacteriovorax isolated from seawater of the east coast of the United States. (See related article on page 922.)
