Description
“Mona” is the name of a Pseudomonas bacteria collected by a JCCC microbiology student that has previously been shown to inhibit tester strains of S. epi and E. coli when grown competitively. A chemistry student from a previous semester found compounds in extracts of this bacteria inhibited a tester strain of S. epi when grown in broth with the extract. The goal of this project was to isolate and confirm the isolation of the antibiotic produced by this bacteria and work towards separation of the compounds.
