|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2022 Spring - Tarleton - Wed - Megan Ashcraft | Positive Paraoxon, Negative Methyl Parathion | 1 | 0 | Tarleton State University | Stephenville | TX | We concluded that we had no methyl parathion, only paraoxon. Almost all samples did grow in LB, including #15, and obtained a plate count. | 01 Feb 2022 | 32.2160 | -98.2041 |
| 2 | 2022 Spring - Tarleton - Wed - Taryn Gibbs | Positive Paraoxon, Negative Methyl Parathion | 1 | 0 | Tarleton State University | Stephenville | TX | It is reasonable to conclude that the CSM paraoxon sample had successfully cultured some paraoxon degrading bacteria after the five week process of successive inoculations. This is not only due to its visible yellow color, but also the bacterial count, 3.50 x 107, many magnitudes above that of the SSM sample growths which can reasonably be considered errors. This error classification is supported by the results of a t-test comparing the SSM and CSM sample groups, which yielded a value of 0.011, and the lack of obtainable sulfur in the paraoxon molecule. | 01 Feb 2022 | 32.2079 | -98.1972 |
| 3 | 2022 Spring - Tarleton - Wed - Summer Croxton | Positive Paraoxon, Negative Methyl Parathion | 1 | 0 | Tarleton State University | Stephenville | TX | After a five-week growth period, the SSM_Px sample was indicative of growth, which began to show by the third week, and successfully revitalized in LB broth. However, after plating, there was not any more bacterial growth. | 01 Feb 2022 | 32.2148 | -98.2074 |

| 7 | 2022 Spring - Tarleton - Wed - Caroly Leija | Positive Paraoxon, Negative Methyl Parathion | 1 | 0 | Tarleton State University | Near Stephenville | TX | Of the two tubes (CSM_Px and SSM_Px) that were attempted to be revitalized in LB broth, only the one with CSM_Px showed growth. This was possibly due to Paraoxon ethyl degradation over time or spontaneous hydrolysis. Once plated, the culture that grew in LB broth had a CFU of 6000000 colonies that could hydrolyze the pesticide. Overall, a majority of the microbes collected by the class only digested the Paraoxon ethyl. This could have been because of the type of soil collected or any other unaccounted external factor that could have affected the results. The incubation period could have also affected microbial metabolization, especially if microbes favor specific incubation parameters. | 02 Feb 2022 | 32.1767 | -98.0714 |
| 8 | 2022 Spring - Tarleton - Wed - Caleb Droguett | Not Yet Classified | 1 | 0 | Tarleton State University | Stephenville | TX | Although test tube 18 did not show any signs of organophosphate degrading bacteria, other selected samples within the experiment as a whole did. These samples help us build a strong knowledge and base of where bio remedial bacteria are found and are a crucial foundation for bioremedial research in the future. | 02 Feb 2022 | 32.2084 | -98.2080 |
| 9 | 2022 Spring - Tarleton - Wed - Aryana Pemarelli | Positive Paraoxon, Negative Methyl Parathion | 1 | 0 | Tarleton State University | Glen Rose | TX | Pesticide bioremediation has global importance due to the detriment that pesticides have proven toxicity. Using bacteria to break down these toxic chemicals is an impressive use of biotechnology. From this study, it is concluded that microorganisms can break down paraoxon pesticide and can continue to grow once plated on an agar. This information is important because it demonstrates that these organisms can be used to heal the environment from paraoxon pesticide. In the future, this research could be used to further study pesticide breakdown and be used as a large-scale effort to reverse the adverse effects of pesticides on the environment. | 02 Feb 2022 | 32.2559 | -97.8010 |
| 10 | 2022 Spring - Tarleton - Wed - Alexandra Sottosanti | Positive Paraoxon, Negative Methyl Parathion | 1 | 0 | Tarleton State University | Stephenville | TX | In the final results shown in the Week 5 Results image, the CSM_Px sample was the only one to sustain the pesticide bioremediation bacteria. The revitalized culture is identified with the number 20 and was plated from the CSM_Px culture. This means that the bioremediation bacteria were able to metabolize the pesticide Paraxon, while in the Carbon selective medium. There is a clear color difference between the CSM_Px sample, and the other three samples in that the other three do not show significant color variation, indicating no pesticide metabolizing bacterial growth. Throughout weeks 2-5, the CSM_Px test tube maintains a stronger difference compared to the other tubes, indicating early on that this tube could contain the desired bacteria. The T-test Results image depicts a T-test, or a statistical analysis that measures the significance between two variables and determines if the significance is due to random chance. The variables are considered significant if the P-value, or the number circled in yellow on the image above, is greater than 0.05. With the T-test calculating a resulting P-value of 0.60, there was no significant difference between samples of the BIMS majors compared to Other majors. | 03 Feb 2022 | 32.2160 | -98.2185 |
