Here, we describe a new open-access digital textbook for microbiology,The Atlas of Bacterial & Archaeal Cell Structure (available atcellstructureatlas.org ). The book addresses a fundamental gap in existing textbooks, namely, what bacterial and archaeal cells look like and how the macromolecular structures they contain give rise to their diverse and complex functions.
