Re: Human Mouth Tissue
It matters if you are testing toothpaste or mouth wash. E coli is an intestinal bacterium. You want to use mouth bacteria for the test. Better make sure there's not some rule against using them in your science project.
Re: Human Mouth Tissue
Hi Sybee,
Sorry for getting back to you so late. I cannot use mouth bacteria, my teacher said that I should use E. coli. He said that the experiment should work except we cannot find a retailer for tetrasodium pyrophosphate (Na4P2O7). Do you know anyone that sells this chemical?

Hi,
Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Co. sells tetrasodium pyrophosphate: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/se ... us=product
Your school will have to order it because they do not sell to individuals.
