Using Bacteria As Paint

[@shannonlove4328]

In microbiology lab, 30 years ago, we used to draw smiley faces ☺ in our Petri dishes. Just ahead of of our time.

[@aryawwnnnn]

Can't believe these freaking germs can do something better than catching me...

[@Sillylilcatmiow]

Your first...

[@mycelia_ow]

Trust me they keep you alive and mentally healthy too, and ironically play a critical role in your immune system and some of them sit on your skin keeping out harmful microorganisms.

[@simplysara1881]

This kinda just makes me feel more germaphobic

[@mycelia_ow]

Lol most bacteria are either essential or harmless.

[@cattycatqueen7643]

Imagine trying to keep your art alive without getting sick

[@mycelia_ow]

Lol good thing most bacteria are helpful

[@urface7668]

you cant really get sick from it unless you lick the plates...

[@soggynug6371]

@@urface7668 no chance of bacteria going airborn even if a gust of wind came in contact?

[@DaydreamingDrawings]

Be careful with that e coli

[@TheGreatCooLite]

My reaction to all Art Insider videos is "How?"

[@ghaeldapug9142]

The Great CooLite hi

[@candyjam4027]

This makes me squeeze my legs together out of disgust while my mouth drops in awe.

[@Max_N]

That's a really cool concept. My only concern is that they're using harmful bacteria like e-coli. Especially when giving it to kids. I see that they are wearing gloves and I assume they properly educate the participants before letting them paint so it should be relatively safe. Does anyone know if e-coli (and other microorganisms used in these paintings) can be airborne? Would it be safer with a mask and eye protection? Thanks in advance.

[@sunnykim9237]

E. coli is actually a part of our natural lower intestinal flora. There are many strains of E. coli- not all cause infection.

[@ph4tastic950]

e.coli is not airborne so don't worry (can't say the same for other microbes used that aren't mentioned). the petri dish is kept closed and sealed. and gloves are enough actually✌️

[@ilamathysekar6177]

For this type of shits they use the non-pathogenic organisms .so no prblm .

[@ilamathysekar6177]

We also use non-pathogenic ones for our classes

[@geosisbeatbox5478]

They are probly using the strains of ecoli that dont get you sick

[@joshuabuchanan1141]

Who knew bacteria could be so artistic

[@mumtazbasha8290]

Bruh the bacteria are doing way better then meh I feel:::/

Teacher: Aight class it's art time That one nerd:

[@AN-ou6qu]

Is E. coil not dangerous?

[@WONDERHO111]

Depends on the type of e.coli. Some help you keep healthy while some can even cause death.

[@joshitabureddy4204]

heh i recognize ur usar from baylee jae's magic pain vid

[@oukn6293]

Just because they look nice doesn't mean they aren't still bad for you.

[@EmaA-pu7nc]

Bad? Bruh, not all bacteria are bad, and I highly doubt they use the ones that can hurt you. If you yourself even painted with it, the lab would most likely have you wear full-on lab attire, and would have all their equipment sterilised after each use. They'd probably have strict regulations, too, because that lab wouldn't be legit if it didn't.

[@lorenzomigueldelossantos903]

Lol u got burnt

[@jay_dmp]

@Johnjs bruh... it's not like theyre forcing you to gulp that petri dish down your stomach....

[@mycelia_ow]

@@jay_dmp Lol funny because in our stomach exists dozens of different species of bacteria that keep us alive.

[@StanDreamcatchers]

@@EmaA-pu7nc i agree

[@creepystonex]

so if i cough, there will be a picture of morgan freeman on my arm

[@pajo7235]

When art and science met each other

[@udaykiranpanjala2710]

So they've become more useful than me..... Well i expected this day to come .

[@mycelia_ow]

Lol trust me they're more useful than any one person on the planet. There about a couple billion bacteria of over a dozen different species in your gut alone right now keeping you alive and mentally healthy. Then there's the bacteria on the outside of your skin that keeps other baddies out.

[@geosisbeatbox5478]

Jazza should do somthing like this

Their art must really be sick

[@lunabat1911]

Forbidden jello.

[@FayeLawnKrack3d]

My Science teacher will be in hysterics seeing this.

[@epicams7917]

Wow interesting but wtf would you do this instead of normal art?

[@tanishsalunkechannel]

What would happen if I open it and pour sanitizer in it?

[@verschlusssache6283]

How exactly are they caging in the bacteria, so they don't grow outside the borders of your dandelion or Einstein's portrait?

[@merry7535]

*All good things must come to an end*

[@irish0706]

So you like art? Me: it’s complicated

[@spaceboii007]

So now, whatever we paint cannot be seen by our future generations. No more antiques...

[@AN-ou6qu]

Chitti well, it’s pretty cool. Also, we still have traditional art.

[@Levacado]

This what i wanted for my birthday

[@mycelia_ow]

People's minds shouldn't need changing on the topic! Is our education system really that horrible that most people generalize and simplify microorganisms like bacteria? To which most are either harmless or essential for survival.

[@kittenmimi5326]

It's all fun and games until somebody accidentalky creates a superbug which ends up in another pandemic Seems likely if many random unexperienced people try it

[@amxu_]

This is *art*

[@danialbar5511]

Ecoli what ?!!!!🤯🤯😱😱😱😱

[@pastelheart1778]

Why am i thinking about when my grandmother sprayed a fungus at a tree

[@nashvilleriveraquinio6432]

Celsius please

[@clearrice639]

Is it really safe to draw with bacteria?

[@kantalot3797]

Many bacteria are harmless for humans, and some are even essential for us, like certain gut bacteria. E. Coli is not one of those...but as long as the correct procedures are followed everyone should be A-Ok

[@mycelia_ow]

@@Dokey17 There's always microorganisms (including bacteria) in the air all the time, were always breathing them in. Most of them are harmless, you'd only get sick is an airborne pathogen were present. Or like in the cass of this video, the e coli can get picked up by wind and make it to your face I suppose, just do it inside.

[@kingdomofhope3371]

Playing with fire huh?

[@notyou6674]

wouldn't want to discriminate against germs....

[@thimestable]

Nice 👌

What about diseases (dangerous but curable)? Just wondering, I mean its germs right? It's just a thought don't read this stupid comment.

[@mycelia_ow]

I see what you're getting at, but lol a disease is classified as a detrimental condition of the body or mind.

[@thasleenakk]

Agar art✌️

[@amurii_]

Uh. No. I’m not changing my mind to paint using germs. I’m a germaphobe. Hate those.

[@mycelia_ow]

Lol most bacteria are either harmless or essential for our bodies to function (ex. gut microbiome). There's a lot you can choose from.

Still;; it gives me shivers just by thinking about it;;
