Several times a year, the NC State Microbiology Club hosts agar art workshops where students get to “paint with bacteria.” The agar media is the students’ canvas and the bacteria is their paint. For the workshop pictured, students used an engineered bacterium that produces different chromogenic proteins, which allows for different color “paints.” Swipe through to see some of the students' designs! by @ncstatebiosciences
