Here is a photo of my PDA patch plate. PDA plates gave me a lot of mold over the course of the term, but also displayed some really interesting and unique microbe morphologies. Unfortunately, none of these inhibited the ESKAPE tester strains – neither Gram positive nor Gram negative. But they look awesome!

Streak plate of isolate 18. This is the isolate whose extraction strongly inhibited a Gram positive tester strain and a Gram negative tester strain. It was my best producer!

Unknown 18. Gram positive. Appear to be diplococci that form some longer chains as well and like to aggregate. This is what my best antibiotic producer looks like up close!
