Microbe Canvas is an online microbiology resource created as an initiative by the Department of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. Its “microbiology on the go” search engine helps users find microorganisms by name or by characteristics, bringing organism information and high-quality photographs together in one place. The site covers a range of microbes, including bacteria and fungi, and presents entries with details such as taxonomy, family, and natural habitats.

Examples featured include Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Actinomyces oris, Alloscardovia omnicolens, and Kerstersia gyiorum. Alongside its searchable reference material, Microbe Canvas offers content on diseases, tests, microbiology history, and intriguing facts. The site also includes art-related articles and personal reflections, creating a broader collection that connects microbiology with culture and visual media.

Visitors can browse recent updates or search for specific organisms, making the resource useful for exploring microbial species and related topics. Microbe Canvas provides a privacy policy, cookie policy, disclaimer, and contact information, as well as options for managing cookie preferences
