Smiley Colonies

This morning, baymate and I were debating when would be a suitable time for coffee when we heard a giggle from the next bay. Here's what our neighbor saw on her transformation plate:

And here's a blowup:

As another postdoc said, "you probably don't have to sequence those colonies. They'll have what you're looking for."

They're conspiring to make your Friday happy.

There is also another curved string of colonies to the right of the one you highlighted. I'm going to guess that your neighbor used glass beads to spread the transformation mix on the plate. Am I right?

I think that you are right, but I'll have to confirm it tomorrow - impressive observation skills!
