Microbial Art

Microbial Art

Some bacteria can form colonies that produce colorful pigments. Bacteria produce pigments for protection and energy production. Microbial art blends science and art by ‘painting’ with pigment-producing bacteria. Students practice common microbiology techniques (such as aseptic practices and culture growth conditions) while creating artwork.
