• How Sweeteners Affect the Dominant Bacterial Species in Kombucha

  We researched into how different sweetners affect the microbial identities of fermented kombucha.
• Transferring Tetracycline Resistance Between an Unknown Bacteria and E. coli

  Biology research project studying the ability to transfer antibiotic plasmids from resistant bacteria to E. coli
• Tetracycline-Resistance in Bacteria Colonies From Soil From Different Socio-Economic Locations

  This is a poster of my findings from testing whether tetracycline-resistant bacteria will remain present in burnt soil, as well as the percentages of bacteria that are tetracycline resistance from soils in different socio-economic parts of Bellingham, Washington
• Oxygen Levels Effect on Bacteria in Kombucha

  This is a poster of an experiment we did in lab on kombucha. We tested how oxygen effects the diversity and amount of bacteria.
• xploring Kombucha Growth: pH, Sweeteners, and Bacterial Dynamics

  This experiment investigated how the pH and bacterial content of a SCOBY changed when fermented in environments with various sweeteners.
