Creatives have once again proven that art knows no boundaries, as it hides in all forms and manifests itself in different ways. The astonishing but at the same time bizarre move by the scientists definitely bore fruit.
A team of scientists from Italy she successfully 'painted' portraits Mona Lisa, Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin and others using bacteria. They conducted an interesting experiment in such a way that genetically modified millions of bacteria, namely in order to 'floated smoothly' and then arranged them into complex and variable density patterns with use digital light projector. Namely, researchers locally they can regulate the density of bacteria with a simple by projecting different patterns of light.
And the end result: layers of bacteria E. coli are transformed into an almost perfect copy of the original image Mona Lisa.
In the article, which they published, also wrote that many microorganisms react to environmental light responses, which direct the cells to better conditions for survival and growth. With this experiment, they prove that the millions of bacteria genetically engineered to 'swim smoothly', can be classified as complex density patterns with a digital light projector.
Art, combined with the creativity of people, is indeed magical!
