From my #Bio350 microbiology course: a #Micronaut swabbed the inside wall of their water bottle onto R2A media. Lots of #WaterBottleBuddy microbes, but a few fluoresce under UV light! Siderophores for scavenging iron? #MicrobesEverywhere #ItsAMicrobialWorld @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology

Let's look at that water fountain again. One photo shows the source of the swab, the second the swab plate (R2A media), and the last of the three isolates under analysis. Can't wait to learn more. #WhoGoesThereMicrobially #ItsAMicrobialWorld #MicrobialCentrism @univpugetsound.bsky.social
