To | The outcome of my project is an Euglena painted picture which makes my thoughts visible, an installation which makes it possible to move Euglena to places and in shapes I want. To enable this I utilized Euglena’s ability of phototaxis to control its movement. The result is the copy of a negative drawing - filled with thousands of those green microorganisms - which starts to fade after a couple of minutes. | ||
Before I started to develop the installation I researched ideas, methods and other projects. The following experiments and the documentation shall give an overview of my work. | Before I started to develop the installation I researched ideas, methods and other projects.

''Note:'' I don’t think the extra solution 3 of the medium is needed anymore because the cheese contains Vitamin B12. To substitute Vitamin B1 some wheat grain should be added as well. I often read that this I used for breeding Euglena too, for example [https://www.uni-weimar.de/kunst-und-gestaltung/wiki/images/Culturing-Euglena2.pdf here]. | ''Note:'' I don’t think the extra solution 3 of the medium is needed anymore because the cheese contains Vitamin B12.
