@ContamClub Check this beautiful contamination👌🏻 I think it's from lab air as I was opening the plate to take pictures of other strains.

#DescribeThatMicrobe Microbial hand prints can have some interesting microbes. This is a top view and one using transmitted light making it look other worldly. @ASMicrobiology @ContamClub

Alright. I got one for @ContamClub. Stack of BHI plates held in a plastic sleeve for several months. I pull some out for lab and I am greeted to what can only be described as a chocolate donut with sprinkles.
