Description
A few soil samples were gathered and brought through many tests to determine what could be obtained from this soil. Using soil dilution, I was able to create colonies using media plates. These plates grew with bacteria, and we spent the rest of the semester trying to test for antibiotics. The search for new species of antibiotic-producing bacteria continues to be one of the most promising avenues for finding the next generation of antibiotics (Hutchings,Truman, & Wilkinson, 2019). In this presentation, I will take you through the steps I have taken to get my end results.
