Description
“Betty” 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 extracts of this bacteria inhibited tester strains of both E. coli and 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.
