Sites of culture hide priests after Reformation (5,6)
I believe the answer is:
petri dishes
'sites of culture' is the definition.
(culture can mean cultivating bacteria)
'hide priests after reformation' is the wordplay.
'after reformation' is an anagram indicator.
'hide'+'priests'='hidepriests'
'hidepriests' is an anagram of 'PETRI DISHES'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
