Under a magnification of 30X, this image depicts a single Gram-positive Bacillus anthracis bacterial colony of the Sterne-strain, which had been cultivated on a blood agar plate (BAP), and incubated for a 24 hour time period at a temperature of 35 °C. Of particular note was the classic “ground glass” texture exhibited by the colony, resembling a pile of glass shards. In the background, you’ll note that as these colonies continued to grow, and their edges touched, they coalesced, destroying their originally well-demarcated borders.
