“These are some of my best friends, I’ve known them for 30 years or so. I know them like I know my wife, my sons, my friends…not that they’re fungi or anything. Actually, someone called me a fungus one time, I said thank you for the compliment, they’re resilient, resourceful, and morphologically handsome. Ok, enough of that” -Dr. Safranek

this is a childs skull. the teeth inside the jaw/etc. are his or her adult teeth that never grew in.
I feel like I’ve been posting too many mould and parasite pictures lately, so here’s some nice juicy bacteria. Lactose fermenting (pink) and non-lactose fermenting colonies growing on MacConkey agar.
MacConkey agar is selective for Gram negative organisms and differential for lactose fermentation. Bile salts and crystal violet inhibit the growth of Gram positive organisms while neutral red is present to indicate a drop in pH (production of acid from lactose fermentation).
Edible Agar
Jello, tapioca pudding, and lemon pie filling were used for the media and dark chocolate syrup, cinnamon, cocoa powder, sweetened condensed milk, gummy octopi, cake decorating gel and a little food coloring for the decoration.

The best medicinal honey comes from Australia
A research group in Brisbane led by the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI), has found that Australian native myrtle honey has high levels of the antibacterial compound, Methylglyoxal (MGO). As a result, it surpasses all other medicinal honeys, including Manuka, that are currently available …
The research team has tested honeys with an MGO range of 500 to 1750mg/kg to prevent the growth of Methicillin Resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The chief researcher, Dr Yasmina Sultanbawa, says that only a small amount of honey was needed to fight the infection due to its potency.
