Today I started with a new project. The first that I needed to find was what bacteria was common in soil. It took me a while to find the bacteria because there was a lot of types of classes. However, I eventually found that it was Pseudomonas putida. I then needed to look for a protocol for isolating bacteria in general from soil. I'm still in the process of looking for a simpler one, but I did find one that was semi-easy. I will continue to look for an easier protocol to not make things too complicated. I'm interested in this project as I want to see the bacteria from the soil and see how many colonies of bacteria there is.
