- By doing a lab in biology, I remarked that bacteria smelled. A
- friend's mother over heard me say this and contradicted my hypothesis.
- She said that it wasn't the bacteria that smelled, but rather it was the
- process of the bacteria rotting the broth that was used in the
- experiment. Which one of us is right? I am also curious where I can find
- more information on this topic.
-
- One question about the experiment also interested me : Why were certain
- orgaisms present after the broth was contaminated? My hypothesis is that
- the broth was a suitable enviroment for these organisms to grow otherwise
- they wouldn't grow right? Well, thank you for your help.
