Thread: Microbiology Project!

Hi!

So i'm in my final year of college and for my final project i have do examine the effects of LAB strains on gastrointestinal pathogens such as e.coli and salmonella.
it has to be carried out over 14 days over 7 weeks. my question is, how many days should i leave for contingency, should anything go wrong or have to be repeated? and what could possibly go wrong with an experiment like this?

Thanks in advance !

I can't comment on the specifics, but I would think four days for contingency would be sensible. I would also have in place a contingency should you not need to contingency. In other words, something further that you can do if the primary goals are achieved in 10 days.

The next trite comment in the hard science part of the forum is going to get you some time out.

For a moment I thought Galt was back, then I noticed the date.
