In this
weeks lab I got to do more testing on my unknown bacteria from the grass
seeds I broke up. It is a pure sample to test on. I found it is Gram
positive bacillus bacteria, microaerophilic, triptone negative and
fermented glucose, fructose, and lactose while producing gas in all
three of them. I will also try to recreate the inoculation of a fungus I
got to grow from sterile grass with the root and the tips of the blades
cut after sterilization. I found many articles that showed scientist
inoculation endophytes at room temperature instead of the 37 degrees I
am currently inoculating at, so I am adding this variable to my process
and going to see what happens at a different temp.
Endophytes can clean up polluted and contaminated soil from explosives like TNT.
