I'm officially moving on to my new project. I will be working on the Creosote project with Mario. So far the only thing we have done is a lot of reading and research. We are trying to figure out what is the best method for extracting the bacteria from Creosote leaves. One approach we will be working with is smearing the leaves directly onto the agar plate. The second procedure is the one we’ve been researching in depth. It is a solution called Tween 20, which is a detergent that will substantially help remove the bacteria from the leaves without disrupting (cell lysis) the plant. This coming week we will be testing to see which is the best method. Wish us luck!
