#POTD Kodameae ohmeri Kodamaea ohmeri grown on SabDex Agar at 30 C. An emerging human pathogen that has been shown to cause fungemia, endocarditis, funguria, and peritonitis in immunocompromised patients. It is resistant to most of the antifungal drugs.

#POTD Yeast Fur? Candida albicans has the ability to form hyphae. When given space on a YPD agar plate, it can spread to take up that space. This organism was inoculated on the surface in a streak and, after an initial incubation at 30C, was incubated at 25C for three weeks. The appearance of the C. albicans as it spreads looks like fur or hair. Photo taken from our site www.microbeworld.org. Submitted by: CCASSILLY Thanks to the authors: C.

Pic of the Day: Schistosoma mansoni parasite In 2009 researchers from the UT Health Science Center San Antonio and other institutions crack the genetic code of Schistosoma mansoni, a flatworm that can live up to 10 years on average in humans. The parasite is endemic in many tropical areas of the world. Nature (16-Jul-2009) This photo was taken from our site www.microbeworld.org.

A microbe-filled petri dish isn’t usually where one would expect to find art, but it turns out that cell colonies can form some pretty compelling visuals. We’ve already seen the potential of slime mold and the bacteria from Hans Ulrich Obrist’s nose, so it’s only natural that the medium is growing (in more ways than one): this year, the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) launched its first Agar Art contest, inviting ASM members to get creative and paint with microorganisms within the framework of a petri dish. The society announced its winners last week, but we had some fun poking through the many submissions, which do show that yes, bacteria can be beautiful.

Most of the strains used belong to the ‪#‎Bacillus‬ genus and the rest are just random ‪#‎colorful‬ petri dish contaminants.
