The answer to anything is: try Google
Wants lots and lots of data
The center of everything
Before one can transform bacteria, one must first transform himself
First on the screen, now in real life

A better understanding of the pattern formation process in combination with the appropriate and detailed predictive mathematical models will be advantageous in many different fields, ranging from construction and design, to medicine, to electronics, to even art. Tumor formation and tissue regeneration are a few among the many examples where the medical world could benefit from a deeper knowledge of pattern formation. The generation of patterns in a controlled way will also allow the production of novel biomaterials. After forming a pattern, the cells can be engineered to precipitate or deposit networked biominerals, opening up exciting new avenues for the production of microstructured biocomposites. In the long term, the ability to construct predesigned patterns of bacteria could lead to applications in miniature electrical conductors and/or electrical circuits.
