Soy-milk BacteriaBacteria growing in some expired soy-milk.
Purple BacteriaPurple bacteria from my backyard pond. While they appear clear at this magnification, their coloring can clearly be seen on a macroscopic level. They have literally turned my pond purple.
Greek Yogurt LactobacilliA look at lactobacilli bacteria inhabiting some greek yogurt.
Iron BacteriaIron bacteria growing in a local stream. Despite their toxic appearance, they are relatively harmless.
Bacterial CloudA cloud of bacteria, from a flooded path in Huntley Meadows Park. They almost seem to 'school' like fish.
Bacillus ThuringensiesBacillus Thuringensis is a bacterium that produces toxins, which are deadly to mosquito larvae. For this reason, it is often used as a 'biological control agent' during the early spring, when mosquito larvae begin infesting puddles and ponds. The bacteria shown here are from store-bought tablets. When these tablets make contact with water, the bacteria activate and begin to produce toxins.
