Pic: Painting With Fluorescent Bacteria
An interesting curiosity found by the MAKE blog – a 2006 painting that was created with different types of fluorescent bacteria. Nathan Shaner’s rendition of a San Diego beach scene was made using a kind of living paint composed of “eight color palette of bacterial colonies expressing fluorescent proteins derived from GFP and the red-fluorescent coral protein dsRed. The colors include BFP, mTFP1, Emerald, Citrine, mOrange, mApple, mCherry and mGrape.”
