Great presentation with great background information. Do you have any guesses to why there was such a big difference between the absorption of dilution 2 and 3?
We are not sure because we expect that it would be a steady increase in absorption. But I would guess because it was just too low of a concentration to have any effect on the Salmonella
I didn’t see that the first comment loaded, so I got another question. What are some of the other environments that you would want to test your bacteria in?
The first question didn’t load when I first posted my question. My b. What would be some specific environments you would want to test your bacteria under in the future?
This was a great presentation! I really enjoyed the content of the poster and especially like the future diections given. Could you further elaberate on figuere 4 for better understanding?
Thank you so much! Figure 4 shows the results from the bacteriastatic vs. bactericidal test. Bacteriostatic is an antibiotic that inhibits bacteria growth, but does not kill it, while bacteriacidal kills the bacteria completely. To determine which it was we moved the well with both salmonella and mastoparan to a new well to determine if in a new media the salmonella would grow (bacteriostatic) or there would be no change in absorbance because the bacteria was dead (bacteriacidal). So for this experiment we concluded that mastoparan was bacteriostatic because on day 2 the absorbance increased indicating that the bacteria grew back when it was added to the new medium.
I thought this was an incredibly interesting project and now evaluating many people from this class, I think it is interesting that you all chose diversely different. What made you choose Mastoparan?

Potentially AIM-V or a similar media and then we would move to in vivo
