SOUTH CAROLINA: High school student doing research at Coastal Carolina University has discovered a microorganism

A high school student doing research at Coastal Carolina University has discovered a microorganism with antibiotic properties against E. coli bacteria. Writes the lab PI, Dr. Paul Richardson, “We found the organism last week, but this test proves it wasn’t chemical in nature. Now we have to isolate and identify the microorganism. This discovery was made possible through the South Carolina INBRE program.”
