  In this Natural Resources and the Environment laboratory the goal is to identify species specific MSAs in E. Coli from different animals, in order to ultimatly pinpoint the source of coliform polluted water. Coliform samples were collected and prepared by submergence in glycerin for polymerase chain reaction. Once controls of positive and negative E.Coli samples were solidified, positive samples were sequenced to identify MSAs of differing species.
