Under a magnification of 20X, this image depicts a number of Gram-positive Bacillus anthracis bacterial colonies 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 colonies, resembling a pile of glass shards. As they continued to grow, and their edges touched, you can see that these colonies had coalesced, destroying their originally well-demarcated borders.
