Hello,

I am planning on doing something like the experiment you did. I was wondering if how the experiment went for you. Were you successful in obtaining data? If so, was it a difficult experiment? Do you recommend it?

Thank you,

Anna

Hi Anna,

Welcome to Science Buddies!

You have posted in someone else's topic so I will ask the moderator to move your question to a new topic. Then we can continue the discussion and answer any questions you might have for proceeding with this project.

I do not know about the outcome of this project. Perhaps sciencenewbie will post and let us know.

However, it is an excellent idea for the science project and I would encourage you to continue.and design a carefully controlled experiment. Are you planning to test bacterial inhibitors? Here are some specific ideas for microbiology projects:

Do you have access to a microbiological laboratory? When is your project due?

Please post again if you have any questions.
