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.
