Description
For this project students were supposed to conduct an independent project throughout the semester by using a microbial candidate found in a soil sample which may have been collected by any student or themselves from any location. Students were able to conduct multiple tests challenging their candidates against ESKAPE pathogens as well as other bacterial cultures in order to know which type of varients as well as properties/morphologies their candidates consisted of. Students were also able to perform certain stains which would assist the students with being able to observe the colonial structure which would be then seen through the use of a microscope. The purpose of this project is for students to learn how to perform proper lab techniques while also being able to work independently along with other students and with the assistance of their lab professors.
