Here are some cool things we saw in Microbiology lab:
Beautiful streak isolation of a mixed culture by Natasha Gibson (GCC – Bio112, Fall 2017). Culture contains: Micrococcus luteus (yellow), Bacillus megaterium (white), and Serratia Marcescens (red).
A stunning gram stain of spore-forming Bacillus sp.
Bad image of a great capsule stain (Klebsiella pneumonia)
An interesting culture I found in the “Discard Rack.”
Comparison between motile & non-motile bacteria on the semisolid agar.
An interesting unknown organism on a semisolid medium. Any guess? =)
An interesting growth distribution on a Fluid Thioglycollate Medium (FTM)
One unknown, 3 sugar fermentation media – 1 negative, 1 positive with gas, 1 positive without gas.
Casein hydrolysis sample.
Starch hydrolysis
An interesting result from one of our unknown on Kligler’s iron agar.
