“Biogenetic Blooms: Collaborations with Genetically Modified Yeast” is a series of floral inspired paintings made with genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae, commonly known as “Baker’s yeast”) on Petri dishes. The color palette in these paintings is composed of strains of S. cerevisiae engineered by the Boeke lab at NYU and Amino Bio in Canada. The colors of the palette include yeast engineered to express colored proteins from the DNA sequences of jellyfish (pink and fluorescent green), sea anemone (blue), coral (purple), and proteins from the metabolic pathways of violacein (found in bacteria; black and gray) and beta carotene (found in carrots, sweet potatoes, and red peppers; yellow, orange, and red).
