Vocabulary:
Microbial Art:
Microbial art, agar art, or germ art is artwork created by culturing microorganisms in certain patterns. The microbes used can be
bacteria, yeast fungi, or less commonly, protists. The microbes can be chosen for their natural colours, or can be engineered to
express fluorescent proteins and viewed under ultraviolet light to make them fluoresce in colour. ~Wikipeida
