The colonies have begun to form on the MYPGP plates from the last ClO2 experiment. Initial colony counts seem to show a general trend of the more ClO2 reagent the spores were exposed to, the less colonies there were. However, I will wait an additional day or two before I report official colony counts. I have found that, especially with this P. larvae bacteria, the longer I wait to count colonies the more appear and the better they come in (can take up to a week before all colonies are seen).
Below are two images to be used in comparison of the effects of ClO2 on P. larvae spores on glass:
 |
| P. larvae spores exposed to 100 mg of ClO2 reagent (dilution 10^0) |
 |
| P. larvae spores exposed to no ClO2 reagent (dilution 10^0) |
