Blog 19: the Experiment

So far our experiment has been extremely choppy as we have evidently not put actual E. coli into the dishes but despite this we have been managing and have adjusted our hypothesis accordingly. 

We have noticed change in the dishes though as the apples have been rotting. (Side note: they smell awful too.) We have also found some growths in the dishes that we were going to put our control apple in (we had to redo our controls since we had not put agar into the original control dishes) which mean there may be contamination in the dishes. 

There has been some condensation on the lids since we have not been able to flip them so the agar shifts from soupy to dry on a regular basis but still manages to remain non-dehydrated.
