Brainstorming
Our project didn't just appear out of nowhere, it was rather a result of a long and tedious process. At the very beginning of it all, we did some brainstorming. This resulted in a list of E. coli with preposterous and even ludicrous capabilities - but fortunately some of the ideas turned out to be feasible :)

  • Tanning bacteria
  • Blood clotting bacteria
  • Stain removing bacteria
  • Accelerator
  • An alarm clock
  • Timer
  • Hemophilia curing bacteria
  • Sunblock bacteria
  • Camera obscura
  • Disco coli
  • Fireworks
  • Traffic light coli
  • Policemen and robbers
  • Gold digger bacteria
  • Radiation sensing bacteria
  • Calculator
  • Air freshener
