This is a question from a high school student in our lab:
Hello, I am a 9th grader in high school and I have a question that
concerns a science project that I am working on. My project is using
natural products as antibiotics in order to kill bacteria. I would like
to know how I should test these natural products. First, I have grown
fungi and mold from swabs and now I would like to know how to test these
on my bacteria. Should I extract from the mold and fungi or should I
simply put the mold and fungi on top of a lawn of bacteria? Thank you
for your help.
