Identification of Soil Bacteria by 16S Sequencing

Description

Antibiotic resistance is a large and growing problem. Since most current antibiotics are produced by soil bacteria, identifying soil bacteria that might produce novel antibiotics could help with drug discovery. As a continuation of a project begun in BIOL 350, we isolated 18 bacterial strains from soil samples, identified them by 16S sequence, and are screening them for antibacterial properties.
