Disc Diffusion Inhibition Assay
Assay Results:

Methodology

The stock solution of CitroBio (Perfect Crab) was used with no dilution. All values are in microliters and millimeters where appropriate, unless otherwise noted. A 0.1 ml overnight culture of each of the four bacterial strains to be tested were spread on a trypic soy agar plate until dry. Sterile 6mm diameter by 1 mm thick glass fiber filter discs were places 4 to a plate, and labeled 10, 20, 40 and 50. Each disc was then inoculated with the appropriate volume of the Perfect Crab stock sample (10, 20, 40 or 50 microliters). Plates were incubated at 37�C for 24 hours before zones of inhibition were measured.

Sample: CitroBio (Perfect Crab)

Organisms used: Escherichia coli , Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Micrococcus luteus

Experimental Results

After 24 hours of incubation at 37�C, the following results were obtained. All zones of inhibition are reported in millimeters and are diameters of zones.
  B. cereus E. coli S. aureus M. luteus
10 �l 16 mm 8 mm 16 mm 23 mm
20 �l 17 8.5 16 23
40 �l 19 9 17.5 21
50 �l 21 10 18 24

Results are the average of 3 independent experiments.
