Cells in Kombucha
Kombucha is a food item of cultured yeast and bacteria. It is used in making items like sourdough bread and tea. I obtained a sample of it, soaked in in water. This is the substrate that came out of it. You can see the round yeast cells and the stick-like bacteria.

High compliment Pete. Thanks.
Re: Cells in Kombucha
Very cool I was just thinking about Kombucha as a sample to observe. Looks like yeast along with lactic acid bacteria.

Yes. The bacteria are comparatively large.
