Unmolding yesterday's preparation. The mold was not hermetically closed, the chromoprotein is expressed in presence of oxygen.

It looks like blue tasty space cake but...

...when unmolded, you can only see a little ring of blue at 100% ( non-diluted preculture ).In fact, bacteria didn't grow.

I forgot that there are no nutrients in agar alone, bacteria won't grow without appropriate medium. I can't use LB because of its color. I must find a colorless medium.
