👉 Stenospilates are a type of bacterial colony that can be found in a variety of environments, including soil and water. They are characterized by their ability to grow on substrates with low nutrient content, such as sand or pebbles, without requiring any nutrients themselves. Stenospilates are typically small and can grow up to 10 centimeters (3 inches) long, making them a useful tool for studying bacterial communities in soil and aquatic environments.
