Description
“Goldilocks” is the name of a bacteria collected by a JCCC microbiology student that has previously been shown to inhibit tester strains of bacteria 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. In this research we worked to isolate and test the antimicrobial compounds produced by this bacteria.
