Agar Art with Living Microbes: Introduction, Requirements, Making Procedure and Uses

Agar Art with Living Microbes- Agar art or microbial art or germ art  is the same thing  in which  art work created by culturing microorganisms in certain patterns. The microbes used can be bacteria, yeast fungi, or  protists (less commonly). The microbes can be chosen for their natural colors. Organisms most commonly used  and available are Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Serratia marcescens as shown above picture. Painting with bacteria isn’t entirely new because Sir Alexander Fleming, the scientist responsible for discovering penicillin in the 1920s, began making “germ paintings” of bacteria during his career as a microbiologist. Similarly,Roger Tsien  (biochemist) won the 2008 Nobel prize in  chemistry for his contributions to knowledge of green fluorescent protein (GFP) and using this GFP, Nathan Shaner (researcher) made a 2006 microbial artwork of a San Diego beach scene.

DNA Sequencing: Introduction, Types, Principle, Procedure and Uses

DNA sequencing is a technique used to determine the precise order of the four nucleotide bases, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine which make up a strand of DNA. These bases provide the underlying genetic basis (the genotype) for telling a cell what to do, where to go and what kind of cell to become (the phenotype). Nucleotides are not the only determinants of phenotypes, but also they are essential to their formation. Each organism has a specific nucleotide base sequence. Sequencing an entire genome (all of an organism’s DNA) remains a complex job. It requires breaking the DNA of the genome into many smaller pieces, sequencing the pieces, and assembling the sequences into a single long "consensus." e.g. Sample Comparison of the DNA sequences of a nucleoprotein gene in infections of two patients with different strains of rabies are as follows- Introduction of DNA Sequencing DNA sequencing is a technique used...
