Rationale

Check to see if any plaque remains. If not, why/how does our results mean to the group question. Find new soil. Control plate from Lab day 10 was contaminated, but showed negative results from plaque assay plate. Other group members did spot test and had negative results and contaminated control plate

Detailed Procedure

Group 6 dug up new soil from a red oak in front of the Baylor Science Building’s parking lot. Soil was dug up around 2 feet away from the tree, near the roots. Soil was added into a plastic bag and a 15 mL vial, up to the 2 mL mark. To start on the soil metadata, a plate was weighed to be 2.47 g. Soil was added onto the plate and was a final weight of 6.66 g. Soil was added into a 50 mL vial up to the 10 mL mark and had D.I water added up to the 30 mL mark. 3 drops of soil disperser solution was added and shook for 30 secs.

Results

• weight of plate= 2.47 g
• weight of plate + soil= 6.66 g

Conclusion

New soil’s metadata must be done by next lab day to determine which type of soil we collected. Soil enrichment will also be done by next lab day as well as pH of the soil.

(not sure if I put it here?) How I spend my time after class= study with group of friends at moody doing work/study and hang out till moody closes.
