Tiny Soil Experiment

This project aimed to isolate bacteria from soil samples collected to determine whether they produce antibiotics and maybe discover novel antibiotics. Antimicrobial resistance has an impact on our daily lives since certain bacteria that cause disease have become resistant to antibiotics. To identify the bacteria in the soil sample and determine whether it contained antimicrobials, a number of processes were carried out. The processes are as follows: serial dilutions, master plates, screening of candidates, PCR and sequencing.
