If you don't think bacteria are beautiful, think again. This year's Agar Art Contest, an annual competition hosted by the American Society for Microbiology, is the source of some true microbe masterpieces. For the contest, microbiologists and artists "paint" strands of bacteria on agar, a gelatinous substance used to make biological cultures. 

First place went to Mehmet Berkmen of New England Biolabs, who worked with artist Maria Penil to create piece called "Neurons." The petri dish was painted to look like nerve cells using the yellow-tinged bacteria called Nesterenkonia and the orange-colored bacteria called Deinococcus and Sphingomonas.

Si no crees que las bacterias son bonitas, estas equivocado. Este año el "Agar Art Contest", un concurso anual organizado por la Sociedad Americana de Microbiología, es la fuente de algunas obras maestras de microbios. Para el concurso, microbiólogos y artistas "pintaron" con bacterias en agar, una sustancia gelatinosa utilizada para hacer cultivos biológicos.

El primer lugar fue para Mehmet Berkmen de New England Biolabs, que trabajó con la artista Maria Penil para crear pieza llamada "neuronas". La caja de Petri fue pintada para parecerse a las células nerviosas que utilizan las bacterias de color amarillo con tintes denominados Nesterenkonia y las bacterias de color naranja-llamados Deinococcus y Sphingomonas.
