  1. Investigating the antimicrobial properties of the flatulence of LuciliaSericata Maggots and the effect of the gas on bacteria involved in lung disease Joanne Guidry Robbie Daitzman

  2. Problem • What are the effects of Luciliasericatalarvae flatulence on Klebsiellapneumoniae bacteria?

  3. Hypothesis • If K. pneumoniaebacteriaare exposed to L. sericata flatulence, then the bacterial growth will be inhibited. This is due to the antimicrobial properties of the flatulence, which contains compounds similar to those found in maggot excretions.

  4. What We Have Accomplished • Finished Final Background Information • Completed Draft of ED

  5. What We Are Currently Doing • Acquiring necessary materials and equipment • Maggots • Klebsiellapneumoniae • Parafilm • 4 1-L Flasks • Stoppers

  6. Roadblocks • Different direction than Singaporeans • Flatulence vs. Hemolymph • We will need to speak with Mr. Wolfe and confer with our Singaporean collaborators

  7. What We Plan To Do • Acquire Materials • Fill out necessary forms • Resolve project differences with Singaporeans • Begin Testing
