Purpose: To find a dosage of X-ray radiation to eradicate potentially harmful bacteria from commonly purchased food products. Ind. V. : Bacteria type [used in experiment]: //Staphylococcus epidermis// 155556iku fimgamma //E. coli// (K12) (add safe and acquirable bacteria if necessary)

Dep. V. : Amount of growth (percentage of plate colonized by the bacteria)

Hypothesis (edit if necessary): If the intensity of the X-ray radiation increases, then mortality rate of the bacteria will increase.

Review of Lit


 * Citations, Citations, Citations! Even though your Review of Literature is a rough draft, make sure to include some type of citation (even if it is not in the correct format yet) You want to keep track of what you are paraphrasing and what sources gave you that information. **

**Project Procedure**
**3 trials in each group 0,4,8,12,16,20. with partitioned plates (each plate divided into 4 sections) all dishes contain 2x e. coli and 2x staphylococcus.**
