| Challenge: | Resources | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Prince Edward Island | | City: | Charlottetown, PE | | School: | Queen Charlotte Intermediate School | | Abstract: | The goal of this project is to test our hypothesis that natural products from tunicates have antibiotic or antifungal activity. To test this hypothesis we dried, extracted, fractionated and tested tunicate extracts, using the disk diffusion assay, to see if they would kill two types of bacteria and one fungus. We found that one tunicate, Ciona intestinalis, selectively killed Bacilus subtilus, a Gram positive bacterium. |
