Disposal of agar plate Disposal of agar plate I had tried out an experiment a few weeks ago involving growing bacteria from different water sources on agar plates at home. Now, I am done with the experiment and a few of my plates have bacterial colonies on them and one has fungi(???) on it. I have been keeping them within sealed ziploc bags and I've seen on many websites not to ever take them out of the bag once you put them in and not to take the cover off of the dish, and I've also seen… Read more

Converting a ketone to a double bond, alkylation

Ask an Expert Topic Forum: Grades 9-12: Physical Science

Converting a ketone to a double bond, alkylation Converting a ketone to a double bond, alkylation Hey, I'm trying to figure out the compound/type of reaction needed to get from the molecule at the top to the one at the bottom (Step I). The main issue is that I can't think of an alkylation which converts a ketone to a C/C double bond without leaving a methyl group. If it were an aldehyde, then it would be a rather simple Wittig reaction, but a Wittig reaction forms a double bond at the C… Read more

Slime Mould escaping ! Slime Mould escaping ! Hi! I am currently completely a year 11 experiment for biology, investigating the effect of essential oils as natural enzyme inhibitors on a sample of Physarum polycephalum (slime mould). I have finished the actual experiment now, but have still been growing the slime mould and the plan was to freeze it for long term storage and use it again in year 12. However, yesterday the slime was starting to escape the petri dish and so I just left it and… Read more
