Happy Thursday! Hope you guys had a great a week. I was interested in wondering what my belly button bacteria looks like. I got the wonderful Daisy to do it too but she wanted to throw hers out >:( . But I was thinking I should try more body parts to incorporate? I knew belly button bacteria is wack, but i find it so cool that my belly button had that much bacteria. Don't come for me please and thanks. But I was not able to start my collecting data yet because I was making plates and getting the materials I need to start. Thank you to everyone who offered to be my subjects, you ill be definitely getting a call from me :) .
Are you going to isolation streak plates and use a dichotomous key and all that good stuff? Microbiomes are so cool. Did you know that there is a species of squid that is dependent on a bio-luminescent bacteria? Without the bacteria, the squid will never reach maturity. I can't imagine that we don't have the same type of symbiotic relationship with some of our bacteria as well.
