Finding Antimicrobial Activity in the Flora of Camden County

Vijay, Riya, and Saarth participated in a team research project where the team wanted to help solve the problem of antibacterial resistance. They were able to use methods such as bacterial plating and micro-pipetting to find that certain local plants killed bacteria more efficiently than some leading antibiotics

The Purification and Isolation of Novel Antimicrobial Compounds

Vijay, Riya, and Saarth participated in a team research project where the team tested the antibacterial activity of plants in the Camden and Burlington County area. They were able to use methods such as solid-phase extraction and high-pressure liquid chromatography to isolate and identify a potentially novel compound within the false indigo bush.

The Physico-Chemical Properties of Local Water Bodies

Pranay participated in an individual research project where he tested different aspects of local water sources to see if there were any environmental issues at hand. He was able to use water testing strips, his knowledge of the environments, and unconventional techniques to find that many of the local water sources were high in hardness, low in alkalinity, and were contaminated with heavy metals.

The Effect of Food on Gut Bacteria

Mehul participated in an individual research project where he tested different food sources’ effects on the activity of probiotics. He was able to use bacterial spreading techniques and pipet work to find that two raw food extracts and Amoxicillin inhibited the growth of two popular probiotics while curcumin inhibited the growth of four probiotics.

The Effect of Food on Probiotics

Arnav participated in an individual research project where he tested different food sources’ effects on various species of gut bacteria found in humans. He was able to use bacterial spreading techniques and pipet work to find that there were some components of different diets around the world that affected human gut bacteria.
