Electro-Chemistry Analysis
One way to tell if bacteria are in a sample is to look for their metabolism. Two samples of sea water, one filtered (no bacteria) and one not filtered (bacteria present) are compared to see if iron II is being converted to iron III. The experiment is being run by Jennifer Murphy of Brian Glazer's lab.
