The Unknown Becomes Known!

We finally figured out what L-25 is! Based on all our research data (as you have seen in the previous blog entries) we have discovered that L-25 is from the genus known as Serratia. Although we do not have the specific species we hypothesize that the species is S. Marcescens. Today, we also checked the results of our beef purity tests. There was a white percipitate between the anti-bovine and the meat but not between the anti-horse or anti-swine. This means the meat was a pure sample & there was only bovine meat in the ground beef!!
Today we also finished our research projects. We our preforming ours on essential oils and Sreptococcus pneumoniae, however all other information is classified. Hope you enjoyed experiencing this journey through medical microbiology with me. Feel free to grow your own probiotic yogurt at home & look at my other classmate's blogs online. Hope you learned something new!



One Last Look At Serratia
