In week 10 of the internship I have started working on metabolic test for the creosote plant I pulled off of campus and I have started to inoculate colonies from a wild grown creosote plant that I found in the Papago mountains in Tempe, AZ. I am getting close to determining the different types of microbes found on a drip irrigation plant. The most important is the FTM test to determine aerobic or anaerobic.
