Bacteria interaction with painting
Goal: to combine drawings/paintings with bacteria
First try:
• Cluing the drawings on some stable underground, to prevent them from rolling when they are getting wet
• Cooking medium (source: Miga’s protocol)
Glucose – 10 g
Peptone – 2.5 g
Yeast extract – 2.5 g
Na2HPO4 – 1.35 g
Citric acid – 0.75 g
Distilled water – 500 ml
Agar – 7.5 g
• Putting the medium on the drawings
• Putting them into a box
• After 3 days:
-->Maybe the water with the nutrients was soaked into the paper
-->Maybe there is no need for the agar in the medium, because the bacteria are growing good just on the paper (see second try)
• After 2.5 weeks:
Second try:
• Cooking the same medium but without agar
• Just putting the medium on some paper to see what happens without agar
