Bacteria Rod Cell black filled icon

About the Bacteria Rod Cell black filled icon

A single bean-curved bacterium fills the frame, its membrane fringed with short bristle-like flagella all around and its interior marked by four circular vacuoles of differing size. It stands for germs, infection and microbiology. Use it on hygiene and sanitizer packaging, medical and pharmacy websites, laboratory and research slides, health education materials, and cleaning product labels.

The asymmetric curve and the uneven scatter of internal circles stop it from looking like a mirrored blob, while the evenly spaced hairs read as motion. Keep the stroke weight of the hairs equal to the body outline. It pairs with virus, petri dish and microscope icons; shorten the hairs below 24 px.

This is the solid black filled version of the bacteria rod cell icon: a bold silhouette that reads clearly at 16-24 px and on dark or busy backgrounds, and prints well in one colour.
