Description
The purpose of this experiment is to dilute microbes through serial dilution and isolate some microbes for future study purposes. The bigger picture is finding candidates that produce novel antibiotics from soil bacteria. During this experiment we were able to get a countable plate at (10-5). 4 pure cultures were produced through this serial dilution experiment. Microorganisms are ubiquitous to the earth and by studying a small amount of microbes we could find new antibiotics.
