:In my final project, I was interested to work with bacterial paper that is generated as a byproduct of the bacteria that lives within Kombucha, a probiotic drink. I tried to generate skins with different properties and my project can be understood as a material study. My first step was to establish an overview of what kind of micororganisms live in the Kombucha culture that Miga brought from Berlin, because cultures, from all over the planet, developed differently after they were passed on from person to person.
:Cellulose is generated as a byproduct of the mircroorganisms that live within Kombucha, a probiotic drink. The aim of this study was to generate skins with different properties by varying the drink or the combination of the organisms.
 
:Furthermore, I tried to recombine the isolated cultures of yeasts and bacteria to connect certain characteristics of the bacterial skin with certain microorganisms. I also tried to change the properties of the skins by varying the drink.
