| Challenge: | Innovation | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | | | City: | , | | School: | | | Abstract: | Measuring reduction of luminescence in V. fischeri due to the addition of 6 medicinal plants (Holy Basil, Cumin, Coriander, Nutmeg, Turmeric & Artemisia) is a new approach for quantifying the efficiency of their anti-bacterial compounds. This research explored the effect of extracts in direct contact with bacteria as well as the volatile effect of fresh leaves and compounds without contact. |
