Microbial art : ウィキペディア英語版 | Microbial art
Microbial art or germ art〔http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/Painting-With-Penicillin-Alexander-Flemings-Germ-Art.html〕 is art created by culturing microorganisms in certain patterns. Agar plates are used as a canvas, while pigmented or fluorescent bacteria and yeasts represent the paint. In order to preserve a piece of microbial art after a sufficient incubation, the microbe culture is sealed with epoxy.〔 A technique called "bacteriography" involves selectively killing certain areas of a bacterial culture with radiation, in order to produce artistic patterns. After incubation, the culture is sealed with acrylic. Alexander Fleming, the man most commonly credited with the discovery of penicillin, was known for creating germ paintings.〔 ==Agar Art Competition== The American Society for Microbiology hosts an annual contest for microbial art: Agar Art. The 2015 edition covered 85 submissions, of which ''Neurons''〔http://www.microbeworld.org/component/jlibrary/?view=article&id=14215〕 won first place.
