A lovely agarolytic red marine bacterium pitting the agar that solidifies the nutrient medium. Part of a #MarineMicrobiologicalSafari for my #Bio350 #Micronauts at @univpugetsound . @ASMicrobiology #PitterParty @microbe.tv
A #MicrobiologicalStory about agar degrading marine bacteria. In my Biology350 class at @univpugetsound #MarineMicrobiology #DontFearTheMicrobe @asmicrobiology #PitterParty #MarineMicrobiologicalSafari @microbe.tv
So yes, I am interested in agarolytic marine bacteria. I MIGHT be able to turn it into an outreach CURE after retirement (if I win the lottery). So I need to start collecting seaweed samples and asking if I observe more “pitter” bacteria. #PitterParty #PitCrew @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology
Different colors among agar degrading marine bacteria isolated by my #Bio350 #Micronauts from seawater samples. We will find out their identities soon! #PitCrew #PitterParty @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology

As always, my #Bio350 #Micronauts help me feel better, sharing the microbial wonders I show them. And the questions they ask after seeing #OMG and #WTM. Or a very deep pit from an agar degrading colony on a marine plate. #PitterParty @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology
Plated from a seawater sample on SWC plates, a plethora of pitters can be seen (agar degrading microbes). #PitterParty @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology #Bio350 #Micronauts.
It’s a #PitterParty from seawater samples for my #Bio350 #Micronauts! I sort of hope I can develop an outreach project based on this. It’s so much fun. @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology
Agar degrading marine bacteria are fascinating. #PitterParty #PitCrew @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology
Agar degraders from seawater dilution plates! It’s great way to teach microbiology. It’s a #PitterParty!! @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology
