I also like to golf, ski, swim and race go-carts in the “Kiwanis Kar Derby”.

Soil solution samples containing different amounts of Vitamin D were plated in home-made nutrient agar. Bacterial growth was recorded after a 48 hour incubation period in a converted oven. All samples containing Vitamin D had less bacterial growth than samples without Vitamin D. Also, as the amount of Vitamin D increased, bacterial growth decreased. |
