In fact, here is an experiment design quite like ours but it doesn't use E. Coli.

Blog 21 - Research Significance
Our group is testing how rapidly apples decompose based on their sugar content when E. Coli bacteria is added to the mix. This is significant because, if our experiment proves that a higher sugar content leads to faster decomposition when sugar-enjoying bacteria are added, then it could be used in things such as dumps. If sugar was added to natural garbage, then the decomposition rate would be much faster and therefore save us a lot of time and space. Our experiment relates to taphonomy, which is the scientific study of decomposition. Applied activities that relate to our group's work so far are just experiments involving decomposition in general.

Good information here.
ReplyDeleteYou need another word for "dumps;" a word that is more formal.
Consider other applications of your work. What group of people could make immediate use of your findings?
