Taken with Canon EOS 350D digital SLR in December 2005. L’Air du Temps by Nina Ricci, courtesy of mum. L’Air du Temps was created by Francis Fabron for Nina Ricci. The company described its scent as the following: “The legendary accord of spicy carnation and gardenia is subtly tinged with rose and jasmine from Grasse and caressed with sandalwood and iris.” Launched after World War II, in 1948, the perfume was contained in an oval sun bottle with a dove carved on top, the flacon colombe, a design by Jean Rebull. It was later modified into the famous double dove design by Nina Ricci’s director, Robert Ricci and his friend Marc Lalique, son of the famous glass designer René Lalique.

Taken with Canon PowerShot S40 in May 2005 at Microbiology Lab, University of New South Wales, Kensington, NSW, Australia. Part of project for the course Fundamental of Microbiology and Immunology. This is why it is unhygienic to drink milk straight from the bottle. Motility test is often employed as a simple confirmation test. The agar consists of nutrient broth and 0.005% triphenyl tetrazolium chloride. This tetrazolium salts will be reduced by most microorganisms from colourless to an insoluble red coloured pigment called formazan. The microorganism in question is inoculated with a straight wire before incubation. Motile microorganisms – those who have flagella – will migrate from the stab line and the medium will appear uniformly red in colour whereas non-motile microorganisms will produce a red stab line. My lab partner ALN and I were isolating Pseudomonas from pasteurised milk – which was left opened in the fridge – and this was one of the biochemical tests that we used to confirm that the colonies we got from the milk were in fact Pseudomonas. Both mediums have formazan formed uniformly at the top with a red stab line at the bottom, indicating that the microorganisms we collected from the milk were motile and aerobic, as the mass of formazan is mostly produced on the better aerated area of the medium. Both are characteristics of Pseudomonas. Pseudomonas are killed through pasteurisation process of raw milk, however post-pasteurisation contamination can occur and the reintroduction of Pseudomonas to milk is capable of making them the dominant microorganism as competition has been eliminated and they still grow well in the fridge temperature. However, the milk sample that remained sealed in its bottle in the fridge showed very low concentration of microorganisms that can be considered negligible and they also grow long after the expiry date was over. So, just remember to always look at the expiry date, keep the milk bottle properly closed in the fridge and use a glass.
