Microbe+Diversity+Project

Project Overview

We will be exploring the incredible metabolic diversity of Bacteria and Archaea in a long term lab project. Students have been randomly assigned to teams of two as shown below. You will build, observe and research the progression of a Winogradsky Column. It is suggested that once constructed, we allow the columns to cycle nutrients for at least 8 weeks.
