What's growing on the agar?

Every bacterium or algae or fungi has its own specific conditions in which to grow. Food is important for us as much as nutrients are really important for them! A balanced recipe is necessary to prepare their living habitat. That is called medium and here it's our list of cultivation media.

Their shape when it grows is really fascinating. Their growth follows specific geometric patterns. The more they grow the more complex they become. Let's take a look at them!

These are cool, huh? Amsterdam's canals offered these algae!

But how are these shapes generated? What's the logic behind this circular geometric growth? Let'c check them on the microscope to find out more!
