Figure Lengend Snippet: Natural log reduction of E. coli versus time (hours). The data are split into subplots based on the presence of soil and the environmental conditions for the incubation of the cement-based tile. The average reductions in concentration are plotted for each trial and the three mix designs, with error bars representing the 95% confidence interval for the reduction based on the CFU counts within each trial. Data points are jittered to better visualize the differences between the mix designs.
Article Snippet: E. coli K12 (ATCC 19853) cultures were prepared by inoculating 20 mL of tryptic soy broth (TSB; Becton, Dickinson, and Company, Sparks, MD, USA) with a loop of bacterial stock and incubating the culture at 37°C overnight.
Techniques: Incubation, Concentration Assay
