Speaking of waves, I came across this post the other day from the American Society of Microbiology and the agar art contest that just ended. It's called Great wave of Candida

"Candida albicans is a yeast species that is part of the commensal microbiota of the body. Weakened or impaired immune system can lead to yeast infections mostly produced by Candida albicans, although other species like Candida parapsilosis, Candida glabrata and Candida tropicalis among others are increasing its incidence. So, like the great wave off Kanagawa, Candida albicans colonies are growing green in this chromogenic medium and supporting a wave crest formed by violet-smooth colonies of Candida glabrata and beige-rough colonies of Candida parapsilosis."
Now this is how you streak a plate....recreationally
. Much better than the flowers and christmas trees I've seen done in the past.
