Leptospira interrogans

After another long absence... Spirochaetes.


Leptospira interrogans is somewhat hard to draw, on account of being helical and having hooked ends. These MSPaint sketches were the result of trying to get a feel for this bacterium's unique topology. (It still isn't quite right - I neglected to include the periplasmic flagella - but we progress.)
