New Delhi: The interactive doodle to celebrate German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri's 161st birth anniversary features the eponymous Petri dishes in Google colours.
Julius Richard Petri was born on May 31, 1853 in Barmen and died aged 69 on December 20, 1921 in Zeitz. Julius Richard Petri had, in 1877, invented the shallow cylindrical laboratory glassware as an assistant to the pioneering bacteriologist Robert Koch.
Petri dishes are used by microbiologists for growing cell cultures. Single-use disposable Petri dishes are sometimes preferred over glass. Petri dishes are also known as Petri plate or cell culture dish.
The Julius Richard Petri Google doodle recreates the microbe culture process and the resultant microbial growth spells out the Google letters.
