Well anyway, at the task at hand, we're currently researching on natural herbs that are able to neturalize/kill the bacterias.
The bacterias are
E-Coli was found on the notes/Currency.
Lactobacillus acidophilus was found on the toilet seat.
taphylococcus aureus was found on the sink.
Anyway, we've decided on using a couple of different herbs to start off first.
We've decided to use the
Clitoria Leaves,
Aloe Vera Leaves,
Mint Leaves and
Pandang Leaves
if i remember correctly.
So we've already taken the first step by using Clitoria leaves and Clitoria Flowers.
We've done this by firstly grinding each of the samples, than adding distilled water in so we can get the extracts and sort of "juice" of the plant.
The Clitoria leaves ended up with a sort of green water, which was than filtered.
The Clitoria flowers ended up with a bluish water, (Which has quite a nice colour to it), and it was than filtered.
We also nurtured more colonies of bacteria from notes, (Therefore mainly e-coli?)
which is currently in the incubator. (We haven't started on nurturing bacteria from the toilet yet)
The notes used were old $2 notes and plastic ones.
We used the same technique to make the colonies of bacteria, only this time of plate streaking we first took a cotton bud and covered the bud (All 360 degrees) with the bacteria. Than we streaked the agar plate once, followed by disposing the cotton bud. Then we took a plastic inoculation loop (We didn't have a metal one). We used the plastic inoculation loop and streaked once at the end of the first streak we made, spreading the colony of bacteria. We than disposed the plastic loop (To keep it sterile. If we used a metal one, we'd have to heat the loop) We than repeated the step of the plastic loop twice-thrice more.
That's about all there is.
