Final Blog

This was our last week of class. On Monday we had a little lecture on qPCR which is used to not only detect fragments of DNA but quantify the amount of DNA present. We also streaked our strains on casein plates and preformed oxidase and catalase tests. All twenty-six of our strains were catalase positive and oxidase negative. Weird. Wednesday was our class party. It was awesome!! We also discussed the final coming up on Monday and our databases and notebooks that are due next week. I have really enjoyed this class and working with everyone! I feel as if I have learned a lot and gained knowledge that will be extremely useful in the future. Thanks to Eugene for making all the media, Cristi for the study guide and of course Dr. Rainey! See yall at the final!
