Conclusion

The results of the experimentation showed that the 3% salinity caused the vibrio to emit the most light. These results reject the researcher’s hypothesis that a 5% salt solution would cause the greatest light emission from the bacteria. A possible explanation for these results could be that the salinity content within a symbiotic host where the virbio thrives is close to 3% salinity. Should this experiment be completed again, salt solutions of 2% and 4% would be added to the current experimental groups.
