Ughh, this is my favorite science mystery. Why do microbes go so much better in nature than in the lab? If I ever end up in grad school, I would love to put my focus on that.

@earthseedle @I_like_cute_kittens I don't think it's a mystery at all. They grow where conditions are right. Nature will have many places like that and many more which are not like that, like your lab.
