JanPVOnce upon a time, I was a microbiologist. So I was quite excited to find this collection of streamers amongst ochre, probably bacterial exopolymer with a slightly less blue colour in real life than this shot (due to lighting constraints). It's within an 1849-cut mile-long drainage adit for a slate quarry.
Anybody know of a good UK-based lab that could do some metagenomic analysis and without breaking the bank (I'm just a poor volunteer!)
