e. coli test

by Phuong Tran

The E coli test's petri disks after incubation. The dark spots are E. coli colonies while the pink spots are coliforms, mostly friendly bacteria commonly found in water and soil. Schumm and McClanahan would count the colonies to determine the colony forming units (CFU), which gives a rough estimate of viable bacteria or viruses in a sample.

About Phuong Tran

Phuong Tran is a PR & Marketing intern at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden this spring. It's very likely that you will find her somewhere in the Garden crouching on the ground and looking through her camera lens for some good shots. When she is not taking pictures, she may also be mistaken for a wandering child. Don't worry, she's not lost, just deep in thoughts over stories to tell about all these gorgeous flowers.
