In the max dose it was to prevent error in the mixing of the Salmonella and compound and in the dose response it was to test multiple concentrations as well as for both to include the positive and negative controls.
We weren’t given that information unfortunately as it didn’t directly pertain to our research but Pam would have the data if you’d like to reach out to her.
What interested me was the possibility of creating a new antibiotic as I have heard for a few years now about the issues of superbugs and other resistant bacteria so being able to contribute was interesting to me.
The only significant trend was a lack of antibiotic resistant properties due to the absorbance values being high but the data was skewed by the solubility issues.
– For how long was it put on the spectrophotometer?
just about a minute or two until the reading was displayed.
Why were so many wells need to filled in your experiment?

What was the concentration of the Salmonella?

Great presentation Dylan! Did you notice a trend in any of your resulting data?
