Description
The increasing number of antibiotic resistant bacteria is growing. By doing this experiment, our main objective is to study different soil microbes to discover antimicrobials. To achieve this goal, we serially diluted soil samples, selected candidates for further testing, and screened the candidates with the safe ESKAPE relatives. Through PCR testing, gel electrophoresis and sequencing the soil microbe was identified. We report that the soil contained antimicrobial producing organisms.
