the biofilm isolated 10 days later

malachite green stain of the biofilm

4 colonies of choice streaked in 4 wuadrants with 1 being the biofiom that failed to form.

the original biofilm before isolation and staining

#microbiology Recently Isolated my first Biofilm and It's become apparent i know nothing about them and would love a project that allows me to see all the weird things they can do.
I failed to isolate it normally so i used a sterilized straw but i like that all kinds of bacteria formed it together.

Unfortunately no, the streptomyces makes an outdated antbiotic, some s
antifungals. and the contamination isnt a yeast so it wouldnt really work. And 90% of time s. cerevisiae is really all that’s used for that other than a few exceptions like the S. bayanus S6U hybrid.

@contamclub.bsky.social Streptomyces Culture Fungal Contamination with Stains on Streptomyces Agar

I did a lactophenol Cotton blue stain after i had already done a gram stain and a malachite green stain of the contaminant, also interesting how the streptomyces seems to be inhibiting it.

Theyre called Rugose colonies. Many bacteria and even some yeasts can form them.
