microbiology fun.

I think my microbiology lab is my favorite class this semester. I love all of the fun stuff we get to do. One of the first things we did was swab bacteria on different mediums using different methods. The first picture is right after swabbing bacteria in the petri dishes... the second (sorry I couldn't get this one to load any smaller) is after we let it grow. The red plate has a sheep's blood medium in it and the bacteria in this plate was swabbed from my very own arm! Comforting I know. Some other people in my class swabbed under their fingernails.. their foot... and the results on the plate were scary! (by the way sorry for the underline- for some reason it is thinking there is a link here and won't let me take off the underline)
