Color Your Classroom: Engaging Students with Bacteria and Bio-Art
Workshop Products
Cat. #224 Rainbow Transformation For 10 groups. Transformation is of central importance in molecular cloning since it allows for the selection, propagation, expression and purification of a gene. Positive selection for cells containing plasmid DNA is accomplished by antibiotic growth selection. In this experiment, your students will transform bacteria with a new set of rainbow color plasmids that transform non- pathogenic bacterial cells into bright, colorful cells. Cat. #228 Agar Art: Creating Masterpieces with Microbes For 25 students. At the intersection of art, science, and technology is Bio-Art, the creation of works of art using living matter. One common way to create Bio-Art uses bacteria transformed with DNA codes for brightly-colored proteins. In this experiment, students create “Bio-Paints” using bacterial culture techniques. The color-producing microbes are painted onto an agar plate canvas. After incubation will inspect, admire, and hopefully share your living art.
