After determining the number and area of the remaining bacterial colonies, the loonie, made from copper, eliminated all bacterial colonies, while there were 136 colonies remaining on the aluminum. Using different metals for doorknobs, railings and other surfaces, will decrease the spread of the common cold, flu and other diseases. |
