Community Colleges of Philadelphia
- Laboratory internship at Community Colleges of Philadelphia work in Dr
- Dominic Salerno Professor of Biology and Academic Coordinator
- We as a group of twelve did research on the Philadelphia rivers ways
- How aquatic biofilms stabilize ecosystems, and many factors affect the health of biofilms
- How untreated stormwater contains multiple pollutants
- We collected nine rivers and syringe filters for culturing lysogeny broth, Stain with DAPI, and Fluorescence
- Microscopy/Counts
- Then ab Disk Assay and Gram Stain
- We extracted genomic DNA, PCR 16s rRNA gene in a machine, and DNA sequencing of 16s rRNA gene
- Next, as a group, we work on Mass Spectroscopy for water samples for pollutants and Microscopic Analysis of SW Microorganisms
- We cultured and grossly analyzed SW Micro
- Bioinformatics Analysis of data on Excel and PowerPoint.
