Blog Post Week 1 (Pseudomonas Project)

Recap of what we have done with our Pseudomonas team: We had our introductions and have some new people on board for this semester. We started off by learning about Pseudomonas and its effects and then we learned how to do our primers and what gene we would need to look for. So far we have now collected water samples from various locations around campus and we filtered them, put them on a plate (PF, PiA) and grew the culture overnight. We then have inoculated from the growth of the plate into a broth and incubated that. Today we are in our process of conducting our first protocol and wait until next week to read the results and continue with our research.
