Hi! We believe it is important to test longifolene more in the future because it did show signs of stopping some of the Salmonella Typhimurium from growing in the Mueller-Hinton agar plate.
Yes! When we received the compound, Longifolene, it was an oil-based compound, and we could not dilute it in DMSO or Water so that is why it was tested at 1M. We would like to try and find something to dilute it in so we can test at less than 1M in the future.
Great Question! We would have to run more tests, with other bacteria as well as Salmonella Typhimurium, to figure out whether or not the compounds in Nigella Sativa would only attack Salmonella Thypimurium and not other bacteria.
Yes we would! This is definitely an issue we thought about and would 100% test it at different concentrations, another issue we ran into with this was that we did not find a solution that we could dilute the Longifolene into the different concentrations.

Is there a reason why has it only been studied at 1M? And how long has it been since that study has been conducted?

How would the major compounds in Nigella Sativa extract only target Salmonella Typhimurium and not other bacteria?

Would you attempt to test your compound at different concentrations if you had more time?
