      We grow bacteria, yeast and fungi.

      Personally I like bacteria the best. I love to see a nice growth of Haemophilus influenzae. It’s a bacteria that causes respiratory infections. There is also a Strep, Streptococcus milleri, which is always nice to smell on a culture, especially first thing on a morning, because it smells like caramel.
