Burkholderia pseudomallei, micrograph
Micrograph of the saprophyte B pseudomallei, growing on Ashdown medium. After approximately 72 hours of incubation, the colonies are flat, wrinkled, and dry, with a slight metallic sheen, and between 2 and 5 mm in diameter. Colonies appear pink because they have absorbed neutral red.
