A novel technique was developed for preparing encoded multicolour microparticles based on the self‐assembly of bacteria and conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) by a very simple and time‐saving manner. These bacteria–CPNs microparticles show multicolor emissions by tuning FRET efficiencies among CPNs under single excitation wavelength and can be successfully applied for cell imaging and optical barcoding.
