Scientists create living bacterial photographs

Biologists say they have created a "living photographic film," made out of engineered intestinal bacteria, that is capable of taking high-resolution black-and-white pictures.
Using Petri dishes full of genetically engineered E. coli instead of photo paper, students at The University of Texas at Austin and UCSF successfully created the first-ever bacterial photographs.Their work is published in this week's issue of Nature, which is devoted entirely to the emerging field of synthetic biology.
