I was trying to do a simple DNA extraction, it went well. Just looked around at some of the cells/junk that were still in the solution. Included was this blue specimin (this was a saline swish around in mouth), I'd guess some kinda bacteria. The measurement shown on the picture, each whole number is .2mm Anyone know what it is? (There was no staining, that's real color)

Took these today under my microscope at 125x. They're a culture of yogurt + milk, for 3 days at about 27*C. Are the circled items bacterium? (All the possible bacteriums, are actually blueish, the camera didn't get the color, and #2 and3 have the shape when overfocused, like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Streptococcus.jpg) http://r0n.kuzew.net:81/img_2224.jpg http://r0n.kuzew.net:81/img_2227.jpg Zooming out of the pics may help clarity since they're very large.
