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.

The first photos from last night's #AgarArt event. Some very nice #BioluminescentArt. The #ChromoproteinArt is looking good too but needs a few days for the colors to fully develop. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to make living art.
