You can also build your own DIY incubator by following our tutorial. This does take longer, and produces colors that are more pastel than bright, but works all the same. The incubator is recommended for the best result but is not required since the bacteria will grow at room temperature.
The recommended equipment for this experiment is a 30 ☌ incubator. You can even visit the American Society for Microbiology Agar Art Competition for inspiration and a chance to enter your artwork & win! If you have done the bacteria Canvas Kit before, key differences you’ll discover firsthand include the incubation temperature and timing, texture and smell of the yeast, and its growth media.Īs the yeast grows slower than bacteria (36-72+ hours of incubation ), this kit can take up to a week to complete. Just like the original bacteria Canvas Kit, the Yeast Canvas Kit enables you to grow colored yeast to make art, all the while learning about this new organism.
That's right! With this agar art kit, you can make art with yeast! This kit lets you use colorful yeast to make some beautiful living art on petri dishes. The Yeast Canvas Kit is a fun first step into learning about biotechnology, genetic engineering, and an exciting new branch of art called bioart or agar art. Which kit is right for you? Take our quiz!Ĭreate beautiful living paintings with colorful yeast! Great for science class, visual arts class, or as a fun and easy science and art exercise at home.
