Bacterial computing, conceptual artwork. Escherichia coli bacterium (left) as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) data storage device. This image represents the use of bacteria for computing. E. coli has been investigated as a medium for storing and encrypting data in bacterial DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Bacterial biostorage systems could hold vast amounts of data, and the concept could also be used to create biological barcodes.
