We are studying a variety of pathogen's growth rates based on
spectrometery results and I was wondering if the fact that they were
both gram- and + would affect the results. As well as being
fermentative would affect it. Our instructer said that the organisms
being gram - or + OR that some are fermentative or non-fermentative
effects our growth rate results. The bacteria we are working with are
Steptococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus epidermis, Proteus mirabilis,
and Alcaligenes faecalis. I have found that the resuts are very close
in Strep and Staph which I atribute to the closeness in their
metabolic pathway but with the question our instructor posed I am at a
loss as to the other two. I can only assume that there is some
correlation between her question and the results.
