The Effect of Alcohol Chain Lengthon PsuedomonasFluorescensLag Phase By: Asia Hilliard Sam McMillan
Introduction Pseduomonasfluorescens: a gram negative, rod-shaped bacteria that is well-adapted to living in soil, water, and plant surface environments.
Question & Methods • Question: What is the effect of alcohols of varying carbon chain length on the lag phase of Pseudomonas fluorescens? • Method • Various alcohols • Various concentration of alcohol • Low salt Luria broth • Distilled water
Results y = 778.93x - 697.5 R² = 0.98431
Conclusion • The carbon chain length of alcohol is directly proportional to an increase in Pseduomonasfluorescenslag phase. • Future Questions: • To what extent does the trend line hold true? • What causes propyl alcohols to have a different effect on Pseudomonas fluorescens lag phase?
