This week, the team met with teacher mentor Mrs.Peterson once more to get together the requisition form for ordering our materials for the upcoming project. We decided to order one vial of Escherichia Coli K12 strain, one vial of bacteriophage T4 strain, a case of 500 polyeurethane growth plates, and a water testing kit from Calolina Biological Supply. Other than that, we plan on purcahsing a set of salinity testers, as they are not included in the earlier mentioned testing kit, a water movement/airation system, and a heater to maintain our testing tank. We will possibly also be putting in for an order of 1-10nm filters to recreate our own supply of bacteriophages to avoid constatnt re-orering. We hope to have everything ordered by the beginning of next week so we can get the shipment in by the end of next week to do water testing next weekend. After water testing is complete, the team can begin experimentation beginning with preliminary testing and then moving on to deeper inquiry. Experiment updates to come.
