Microbes! I LOVE microbes! She put yogurt on the slide? Must be a psychrophilic bacteria! They might look cuter under the oil immersion lens though. Sorry, bio major who loves microbiology talking here (I can't resist, I love Moyashimon so far!)
Are they gram negative or gram positive rods

Hahaha, Moyasimon is the best! Love sad Nina.
EDIT: Is it Moyashimon or Moyasimon? The hiragana says Moyashimon (which is what I normally call it), but Del Rey spells it Moyasimon. And as far as I know, there is no "si" sound in Japanese? Last edited by kyokun703 on Wed Dec 09, 2009 12:15 am; edited 1 time in total |

Page's byline says Rob Bricken instead of Robin Sevakis.

Love the expression in the last panel! Also all the work Nina went to, classic!

The hiragana "says" both technically as si or shi are both correct romaji for し. You probably learned a variant of Hepburn-shiki (which has more accurate pronunciation) but in this case they chose to use nihon-shiki or kunrei-shiki (which is taught in Japanese schools). |

Ha ha! Great strip, Robin! Timely too, with the first volume of Moyasimon having been released in English recently.

You'll think even a common sponge will look cute, when you watch too much Western cartoon.

But the image is E. coli under SEM.

That was adorable! I love the colors in this strip. Poor Nina, they just aren't that cute in real life, are they?

Woo, microbiologists represent! Technically I'm a biochem major, but since I do most of the same courses as the microbio majors there's not a lot of difference. Last degree I did was Bioprocess engineering, which is heaps of microbiology too. (Sort of) On topic, I find it pretty hard to communicate that it is an interesting course of study, on account of most people wear Nina's "eeew germs eeew" face if you mention it.
I vote lactobacillus due to context. |

They even state in the work what the microbes should look like, and that Sawaki must be crazy. Don't see why she's all disappointed when she should have come across that. Maybe it's not until the later volumes? The show is so short that it all goes by real quick.

As someone who has studied and worked with microbes... yeah.. Moyashimon, as awesome as it is, does take -a few- liberties with how microbes look and how they work.
btw, if you're looking for some plushies somewhere between the two, there is a company that makes them. http://www.giantmicrobes.com/ I got the clap, the black death, and some other diseases. Plus I gave a friend of mine Syphilis. |
