Some bacteria can be presumptively identified just by looking at it on a plate with enough experience. Let's see who can guess what's the microorganism growing on this SBA plate. I am talking about the large, irregular shaped colony. It was not taken from a patient, but from the surrounding environment in an intensive care unit. Good LuCK :rolleyes:

Tough to tell, maybe Bacillus species? Just a guess.
