Moldy Marvels of Christmas Art

"Microbes Grow Into Holiday Art"
Tracy Staedter, Discovery News (December 31, 2009)

"Stephanie Mounaud, who works at the J. Craig Venter Institute created holiday art in petri dishes by getting microbes to grow in a particular pattern. I thought it was cute. Thanks to the web site Fungal Genomes."

The post shows a snowman and a Christmas tree - moldy marvels in petri dishes.

You really should see them.
