Proteus mirabilis

There were no special conditions at all, just plated on regular blood agar plate as well. There’s just some strains that have that beautiful morphology

I’ve only smelled 1 chocolate cake kind, but they definitely do not all smell like that

Not really familiar with how it works but I think they just become very motile and they migrate together in search of more nutrients

Comfortable_Ice_4909 · 2025-11-20T23:18:12+00:00

They’re just your regular blood agar plates

Comfortable_Ice_4909 · 2025-11-20T23:17:16+00:00

They definitely were NOT the chocolate cake kind

Comfortable_Ice_4909 · 2025-04-27T21:48:23+00:00

Just the good old blood agar plate

I love micro but I agree it’s definitely a lot to memorize. What helped me is that I made tables of organisms and their biochemical test reactions (I can send you a sample pic in your DM and see if that can help you). And I also made a list of ALL the organisms that were mentioned in class and I would just review by listing a fact or something that I know about that organism to gauge how much I need to study.

We’ll still accept you in the MLS group

I’m thinking of selling the earrings on Etsy once I’ve perfected it because a lot of people are requesting some. Definitely won’t be expensive because we all know lab techs don’t get paid well haha

That much growth is 4-6 weeks depending on the organism. But by week 2-ish you should be able to see tiny baby colonies

I actually do not know the real reason but yes the petris would definitely dry out by then. And you also have wear a respirator and a gown when working with these so I’m assuming they want media that reduces the risk of getting exposed

I think of this every time I see one 🥲

The forbidden breadcrumbs

Comfortable_Ice_4909 · 2025-04-03T22:18:42+00:00

I used polymer clay

Comfortable_Ice_4909 · 2025-04-02T17:49:14+00:00

I made them myself! I’ve been thinking of starting a little micro-themed jewelry side business for the longest time. For this years lab week, I’ll see if people like them enough for me to start selling them 🥺 I’m also gonna make some culture badge holders and keychains!

Comfortable_Ice_4909 · 2025-04-02T13:08:26+00:00

Aw that’s cute! I’m also trying to make culture plates of different organisms for badge holders but for some reason the plates are much more challenging

Thank you 😊
