CindyD got it right! Those circles are bacterial growth(colonies) on Blood Agar Plate. It's a pure culture of gram negative rods, perhaps Klebsiella species (because of it's mucoid appearance). Further biochemical testing needs to be done to identify it. florg

I agree w/ the petrie dish... but after the precision of CindyD's "guess" I'm just about embarassed to just say "petrie dish"... :-) -- W R Somsky

Bacterial culture on blood agar? Doesn't appear to be hemolytic although I'm not positive - the pink hue in the center looks suspicious. Hope you were using good sterile technique!!! CindyD

Since others have taken the scientific approach.... I'll say top of a "gel candle". Mark J

looks kind of scientific. like mold growing in strange patterns on red jell-o in a petrie dish. _cUrVe
