::* All organisms have a metabolic mechanism in which they obtain energy. This mechanism is called an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction. The specific microorganisms I am interested in are the ones that use the Sulfate-Reduction Chain. They are called SRMs for short (Sulfate-reducing microorganisms); these microorganisms or at other times called microbes or microbiome(s) are found in Blue Holes, located in the Bahamas. The goal of my project is to test different water sources found around the city of Monmouth, isolate the DNA from each source using vacuum filtration, and then run a PCR reaction to examine the concentration level of the bacteria’s DNA.--!> | ::* All organisms have a metabolic mechanism in which they obtain energy.
