Microbial Easter 🐰
Fun agar plates from across the internet
The diversity in microbes is breath-taking. Individual cells may not look like much under the microscope - they are just too tiny. But when they form visible colonies on agar plates many bacteria and moulds grow in the most staggering display of colours and shapes. 🧫
And most scientists are generally creative and curious people. Sometimes they need a bit of compensation for the pressures and frustrations of their daily work in the lab. Sometimes they just like to play.
Plus, everyone loves a bit of Easter!
Which is why we are posting here a selection of the most stunning microbial Easter agar art we could find on the internet, to go with our earlier Christmas special.
