24. Martian Microbe continued
In the flask in which you are growing the Martian Microbes, you notice a thick accumulation of cells
along the inside surface of the flask.
Out of curiosity, you add ampicillin to the flask and wait several days, knowing the Martian Microbe
is sensitive to ampicillin from your previous experiment.
After a few days, you add more fresh broth to the flask and observe the Martian Microbes start
replicating again, having not been killed by the ampicillin.
This leads you to believe the Martian Microbeformed a protective
within the flask.
