NPDD Lab Reflection
We tested different plant extracts with either an alcohol base or a water base. We did this in order to determine whether or not the plants had antibacterial properties. We used a lab strain of E. Coli in order to test it. This type of lab is important because it can be the key to finding cures for different diseases and many of these tests are performed in professional labs in order to find new cures. We only had one conclusive test and it was the jade in alcohol which did in fact have antibiotic properties. All of the others were inconclusive because either there wasn't enough bacteria growth and/or the controls didn't work as expected. Some of the errors that led to the inconclusiveness were killing some of the bacteria while spreading it and not soaking our filter disk for long enough which could've caused the questionable results in some tests.
