If you had a bucket, and it was filled with bacteria, what would the substance look like?

Would there even be anything visibly there?

Do a Google image search for "bacterial colony".  What you see is literally just that - a big pile of bacteria cells.  Generally they look like white slimy goop.

You can also grow bacteria in liquid culture.  You start off with very clear (usually yellowish) liquid, and after you inoculate it and let it grow, it becomes very cloudy, but still yellowish.  You can then spin it in a centrifuge to get all of the bacteria out of solution, and you'll be left with a whitish lump of goo.
