| Samples: Control, Tuscawilla Park, Canal Street |
How's that for a title. Well, I am still going over the numbers, stats, and computations for the formula desired. However, I'll share some of the growth results here. More to come next week, as I refine my details.
No need to show the close up of the negative control, there was close up no bacteria what so ever, which was mostly expected. The first two pictures are for fluff, and show that I used the desired methods for sample retrieval, as well as show my assistance from Dr. Horikami.

These pictures show the Tuscawilla Park sample, as well as the Canal Street sample. I could literally not see the grid guidelines, so my canal street numbers are a +/- situation, yet I was able to get the average number counts. The Tuscawilla park also had bacteria, but showed about 20% of what was discovered to be in the Canal Street outlet.

Janice sec. 50: Hi Chris. Yucky stuff here! I took Dr. Horikami's class a while back and I thought I remembered that fecal chloroform was identified by the presence of E. Coli on the plates (neon green color) while chloroform (all animal gut content which includes fecal/e. coli) was the way we identified all gut contents on the plate and not just those associated with fecal (poop). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have seen people fishing on Reed canal and Tuscawilla, my question is that are their any signs poster to let the public know that the canal/pond is contaminated, and is the fish safe for human consumption?
