''What is spirulina?'' | |||
The name '''spirulina''' describes the genus of edible aquatic '''cyanobacteria''' performing photosynthesis. The chlorophyll is responsible for the green color which is why spirulina used to be called green-blue algae. However, it is now widely known that they are bacteria, not algae. Today, scientist know of 35 different species belonging to the genus spirulina. | The name '''spirulina''' describes the genus of edible aquatic '''cyanobacteria''' performing photosynthesis.

''Brain storming - What could a possible board game be about?'' | |||
- How long will a spirulina game take? long-term, possibly several weeks | |||
- Where is an interaction possible? → between spirulina organisms in one culture, → between the organisms of different cultures (e.g. cultures in different mediums where the water, the amount of salt fed, etc. are different), → between different humans possessing/observing spirulina cultures, → virtually, if the game was not to be realized in reality but on a computer: between the computer and "virtual" spirulina, between humans and the computer, between humans and the "virtual" spirulina | |||
- How would my game resemble an already existing board game? → packaging to make it transportable: Eppendorf tubes, petri dishes, pippets, water pipet, water samples (if they are not to be collected by the player himself), instructions/a rule booklet | |||
- What type of board game could it be? → cooperative, → ungame, → non-competitive, → competitive (which is the most obvious one) | |||
- What could be the goal of my game? → winning is always connected to a survival of the spirulina. A dead or not-so-healthy culture cannot be played with. Furthermore: /the greenest spirulina culture wins /or/ the person with the culture that has the darkest greenish culture wins ... | |||
- References to other games/artistic projects/scientific experiment/learning setup: ? (to be thought about) | |||

IDEA NR. 1: How does water influence the growth of spirulina bacteria?''' | |||
My '''“board game”''' is supposed to be a competition between living spirulina, an interaction of spirulina with different environments. I will be focusing on the growth of spirulina and which type of water favors it. | My '''“board game”''' is supposed to be a competition between living spirulina, an interaction of spirulina with different environments.

Therefore, I took a tube of spirulina (the exact species is unknown to me) bacteria in a liquid, divided the content into four parts and inserted each part into a tube with minerals and different types of water. The four samples respectively consisted of: | Therefore, I took a tube of spirulina (the exact species is unknown to me) bacteria in a liquid, divided the content into four parts and inserted each part into a tube with minerals and different types of water.
