 What does different kinds of bacterial growth look like?
I am taking samples from around the house using clean QTips wiped over 7 different places.
I am then lightly wiping them on fresh blood auger dishes in specific designs. 
When the bacteria grows, I expect different bacteria might look different.
Does anyone know what characteristics different bacteria have when grown this way in a warm environment?
I started out just wanting to know which places had more bacteria.
Now I want to know which bacteria are which. Do you have any other suggestions?
