Micro Lab
We were creating slides from different bacterium in microbiology lab today. Dude, it's so cool preparing smears!! First, the loop has to be sterilized and dipped in water (for solid smears). Then, a colony is taken from the solid stuff, and spread on the slide. After that, it has to be air-dried. Once it's dry, we flame the slide real quick to fix our bacteria on to the slide. Then we stain it. Let me tell you, that methylene blue is nice...what I am blabbing about? I'm pretty sure you all could care less about preparing smears, but you might as well read it anyway. In any event that you must prepare a smear, you'll know how.
But anyway, the purpose of this post was to inform you that M.Luteus (in broth) is really pretty. It's morphological (bacterial) type is spherical or cocci, which just means that it's little tiny circles clumped together, in tetrads sometimes. Pretty cool.
