Speaking of endospore producers...how about a little anthrax?! #microbiology

Possible sporulation! B. cereus at 1000x. Wish it were more distinctively green, but so far this is my best contender. Put another. Culture in the 80oC oven to try again- this time exposing them to high heat for 2 days vs 1. I'll give 'em inhospitable conditions yet...😕 #microbiology #endosporestain

I only had a chance to use a lower quality microscope, but so far after 50 hours, it looks as though I have no sporulation. Checking again today on the good scope. Also going to stain again after keeping the culture in 80oC overnight... #microbiology #endospore
