Description
In the search for new antibiotics, we studied the antibacterial compounds produced by “Peeves,” a strain of bacteria previously isolated by a JCCC microbiology student. 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.
