In this class I was researching, how bacteria grow. How they differ, depending on the media. | In this class I was researching, how bacteria grow. How they differ, depending on the media. | ||

It looks like there is probably not enough liquid, so it did not really work without agar and I went on with the standard medium and started to figure out how I can control the bacteria (see experiment further | It looks like there is probably not enough liquid, so it did not really work without agar and I went on with the standard medium and started to figure out how I can control the bacteria (see experiment further below) | ||

When I had a little more knowledge I also tried to let grow two extracted bacteria on two different parts on the drawing. I used some darker, blue bacteria for the mushroom (1) and some green/white looking ones for the surrounding (2). | When I had a little more knowledge I also tried to let grow two extracted bacteria on two different parts on the drawing.

Maybe it would be more successful if I do not only use two different kind of bacteria, because they somehow also could move to and other parts of the picture just through the air, but also use two different kind of media. | ||

So I found out, that to less acidity there is nothing really happening and with more acidity than usual there are no more bacteria growing, but fungi. | So I found out, that with to less acidity there is nothing really happening and with more acidity than usual there are no more bacteria growing, but fungi. | ||
What I also realized, is that you can play with the different kind of sugar you are using to cook the medium. | What I also realized, is that you can play with the different kind of sugar you are using to cook the medium. | ||
It makes a big different, if you use glucose or fructose, but also you can use for example potato starch. | It makes a big different, if you use glucose or fructose, but also you can use for example potato starch. | ||

Furthermore I was trying to extract two different bacteria into two different petri dishes to have to clean bacteria to be able to paint with them | |||

So how you can see, the bacteria does not absorb the color. That's probably because there are two different kind of bacteria, one whose cell wall allows it to absorb color, and the other one doesn`t. | |||

It looks like that the bacteria is growing much faster on the part of the medium, where there is no ink. But also where the ink is there are growing bacteria. | It looks like that the bacteria is growing much faster on the part of the medium, where there is no ink.

It also seems like they are soaking in the color. | It also seems like they are soaking in the color. | ||
