Microscopic footage of milk before it expires, after it expires on its "best-by-date" and after being incubated to speed up microbial growth. I also tested for bacteria at each stage with a petri dish to quantify bacterial colonies.
I believe the most common bacteria after the milk was incubated to be lactobacillus because of the following criteria: gram positive rods, growth on complex medium (milk, Tryptic soy agar), non-pathogenic since the milk was pasteurized, Indole negative, Citrate negative. This is the best guess I can make with the medium and tests available to me in my lab.

FAQ:
Q: The milk was pasteurized. Where did the microbes come from?
A: Pasteurization kills most but not all microbes. The ones that survived grow in the milk.
I used a Nikon D3300 DSLR camera and a Leica ATC 2000 Microscope for this video.
