A new #Illustration for #FEMSmicro blog: Meet the #Industry.

I wanted to mashup large scale (factory) processes with tiny scale (#microbiology) processes. So I made the culture flask HUGE, like it was a bit of the #factory building.

I also wanted to contrast messy #biological & uniform #industrial processes. That's why there's a regular pattern of filamentous #microbes growing in tidy rows but they're still all a bit different.
