Merry Noodlococcus Day!
We discovered Noodlococcus contaminating a plate in our lab 4 years ago today 馃崪馃Й

We saw a lot of diversity on these plates!
This photo is a great snapshot.
In just this small area, we can see at least 10 different colony types!
(Each structure is a colony)
It鈥檚 hard to identify microbes from their colonies alone, but here's a thread of our thoughts:

These are awesome! Whilst I'm not expecting one for every plate, could we have a description of some of the things we can see?

We looked at four colonies from this snapshot under the microscope!
In colony 2 there are two types of cells - large purple and small pink. In colony 3, there are three types! The biggest purple cell in 3 is probably a yeast.
