Ultraviolet light has the ability to destroy bacterial and fungal spores. Students subject a pigmented bacterium,
Serratia marcescens D1, to ultraviolet light (directly and indirectly) at varying time frames to evaluate lethal damage to the bacterial growth. An incubator is not needed, but a pipet aid and a desk lamp for the UV lightbulb (neither included) will be required. Can be ordered with or without the UV lightbulb. With instructions.
CAUTION: UV light can cause damage to the eyes if looked at directly.
