Liquid Pulse Procedure
1. E. coli was grown overnight in sterile LB Media.2. Samples of the overnight cultures were added to fresh media in
a sterile sidearm flask.3. The cultures were placed in an incubator(37 degrees Celsius)
until a density of 50 Klett spectrophotometer units was reached. This represents a cell density of approximately 10^8 cells/mL.
4. The cultures were diluted in sterile dilution fluid to a concentration of approximately 10^5 cells/mL.
5. The experimental variables were mixed with the appropriate amounts of SDF to create concentrations of 0%, 0.1%, 1%, 10%.

Liquid Pulse Procedure (Continued)
6. 0.1 mL of cell culture was then added to the solutions, yielding a final volume of 10 mL and a cell density of approximately 10^3 cells/mL.7. The solutions were vortexed and allowed to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.8. After vortexing to evenly suspend the cells, 100 microliters aliquots were removed from the tubes and spread on LB-agar plates.9. The plates were incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for 24 hours.10. The resulting colonies were counted visually. Each colony was assumed to have arisen from one cell.

Agar Infusion Procedure
1. Sterilized lemon juice and grapefruit seed extract were infused into the LB agar media in three concentrations, 0.1%, 1%, and 10% (with volumes of 2, 20, and 200 microliters of variable) and used to create the LB agar plates.
2. 0.1 mL of cell culture was then added to the solutions, yielding a final volume of 10 mL and a cell density of approximately 10^3 cells/mL.3. After vortexing to evenly suspend the cells, 100 microliters aliquots were removed from the control tube and spread onto the infused agar plates.4. The plates were incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for 24 hours.5. The resulting colonies were counted visually. Each colony was assumed to have arisen from one cell.

Limitations and Future Studies
Limitations• Only one
microorganism was tested
• Slight variations in plating time
• Only one exposure time• Unknown active
ingredient
Future Studies• More concentrations• Different times of
exposure• Synergistic effects• Narrow concentration
range• Attempt to find LD50• Try to identify the
