Agar Art: ‘Tis the Season

In the spirit of the up coming holidays, here is some festive agar art!

Here is an Escherichia coli (E. coli) snowflake on Tryptone Glucose Yeast Extract Agar with MUG Supplement. When digested, MUG produces a fluorescent molecule which glows under UV light!

Here is an infographic detailing UV positive and UV negative bacteria on TGEA w/ MUG Supplement.

Lastly here is some not-so-sweet candy canes using Serratia marcescens (Red) and unknown bacteria (White).

Thank you for following me along this inquiry journey!
