Here you can describe the results of your project and your future plans.
Bacterial Chemotactic Response to Naringenin
The Alternative Root project revolves around the idea of chemical signals which alter the soil microbiome with the main goal of aiding the nitrogen nourishment of plants. As such, it was important to be able to measure how our selected nitrogen fixers (Azospirillum brasilense, Herbaspirillum seropedicae and Azorhizobium caulinodans), Pseudomonas fluorescens, our root endophyte, and Escherichia coli interact with different concentrations of naringenin. Without observing these interactions, the potential that the transformed E. coli and eventually the P. fluorescens may produce too much naringenin, which is known to possess antimicrobial properties (find reference from onedrive), and potential kill the bacteria. Additionally, it is important to know the minimum concentration to elicit a response and whether naringenin elicits the expected response. Therefore, chemotaxis assays were integral to ensuring that concept of the project works
What should this page contain?
- Clearly and objectively describe the results of your work.
- Future plans for the project.
- Considerations for replicating the experiments.
Describe what your results mean
- Interpretation of the results obtained during your project. Don't just show a plot/figure/graph/other, tell us what you think the data means. This is an important part of your project that the judges will look for.
- Show data, but remember all measurement and characterization data must be on part pages in the Registry.
- Consider including an analysis summary section to discuss what your results mean. Judges like to read what you think your data means, beyond all the data you have acquired during your project.
Project Achievements
You can also include a list of bullet points (and links) of the successes and failures you have had over your summer. It is a quick reference page for the judges to see what you achieved during your summer.
- A list of linked bullet points of the successful results during your project
- A list of linked bullet points of the unsuccessful results during your project. This is about being scientifically honest. If you worked on an area for a long time with no success, tell us so we know where you put your effort.
Inspiration
See how other teams presented their results.
