Happy Fourth of July everyone!

I present you with possibly one of the more complicated pieces I’ve done so far. This is a special kind of agar (CHROMagar) plate featuring yeast! The different colors on this plate are supposed to help you quickly differentiate what kind of Candida yeast you are dealing with. It’s quite expensive agar and has a short shelf life, but can help with quick visuals if dealing with many specimens.

Drawing the design one is wanting to plate out can be essential! My drawing before plating shown here:

Now, time to get off the computer and enjoy some sunshine! Have a wonderful long weekend! Candida yeasts are happy to be celebrating with you.
