Lab Day 14: Soil E
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 13 was not contaminated, but showed negative results from plaque assay plate. Other group members did spot test and had negative results and did not have contaminated control plate
Detailed Procedure
- Group 6 dug up new soil from a red oak in front of the LL Sams.
- Soil was dug up around 2 feet away from the tree, near the roots.
- No more plastic bags were present, soil was added to a glove
Conclusion
New soil’s metadata must be done by next lab day to determine which type of soil we collected, and what pH. Soil enrichment will also be done by next lab day. If there is no plaque present, then group 6 will have to adopt a plaque from another group.
