Plant Growth Results

Determining Plant Media Conditions

The lab that helped us with our plant experiments grewArabidopsis thaliana in PNS media. However, we wanted to make sure that our Pseudomonas putida would also be able to grow in the media, because it cannot use sucrose as the sole carbon source. We tested the effect of sodium, sodium citrate, glucose, and glucose+sodium on Pseudomonas growth. The bacteria grew in all conditions except for just sodium, so for ease, we decided to add glucose to our plant medium.

We needed to make sure that adding glucose would not adversely affect plant growth. To do this we tested the effect of two different glucose concentrations on plant and bacteria growth and found that the plants grew noticebly more at 0.01% glucose.

Conclusion

This is the conclusion of our results. The data above demonstrate the validity of our project idea.
