Basic InformationBasic Information Saccharomyces cerevisiae is
commonly known as the baking/brewing yeast.
S. cerevisiae ferments the sugars found in flour. This gives off carbon dioxide and alcohol. As the carbon dioxide gets trapped inside the dough, it forces the dough to rise.

Purpose:Purpose:
Through background research, we have Through background research, we have learned that evidence directly learned that evidence directly supports that the yeast, supports that the yeast, S. cerevisiaeS. cerevisiae, , grown in culture is inhibited by cloves grown in culture is inhibited by cloves (25mg/mL and 100mg/mL) and chili (25mg/mL and 100mg/mL) and chili (25mg/mL and 100mg/mL) when (25mg/mL and 100mg/mL) when incorporated into nutrient agar incorporated into nutrient agar
(De et al., 1999). (De et al., 1999).
The purpose of this experiment was to determine if cloves and chili powder inhibit the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

We hypothesize that the growth of S. cerevisiae will be inhibited by the spices chili powder and clove. Herein, we replicated the work of De et al., (1999) in order to partially repeat their experiment and to analyze the antifungal affects of the spices chili powder and cloves specifically. yy

Further AnalysisFurther Analysis
According to previous research by De et al., 1999 , According to previous research by De et al., 1999 , chili powder should have inhibited the growth of chili powder should have inhibited the growth of
S. cerevisiae at 25mg/mL and 100mg/mL. We believe at 25mg/mL and 100mg/mL. We believe that when the Petri dish of chili powder was created, that when the Petri dish of chili powder was created, most of the powder settled at the bottom of the Petri most of the powder settled at the bottom of the Petri dish leaving the top with a small concentration of dish leaving the top with a small concentration of chili powder (<25mg/mL). If we were to repeat this chili powder (<25mg/mL). If we were to repeat this experiment, we would prepare our own Petri dishes to experiment, we would prepare our own Petri dishes to ensure an accurate concentration of chili powder. ensure an accurate concentration of chili powder.

Further AnalysisFurther Analysis The transparent graph paper method was The transparent graph paper method was
not entirely accurate. In order to accurately not entirely accurate. In order to accurately calculate the number of colonies, a more calculate the number of colonies, a more precise method would is needed to count precise method would is needed to count the number of colonies inside an area of a the number of colonies inside an area of a cmcm22..
A more precise method needs to be used to A more precise method needs to be used to count the total area that the fungus covered, count the total area that the fungus covered, which could significantly affect our results.which could significantly affect our results.

Further AnalysisFurther Analysis
In future experimentation we will more closely In future experimentation we will more closely examine the chemical constituents in cloves in examine the chemical constituents in cloves in order to understand the cellular mechanisms order to understand the cellular mechanisms behind its inhibition of behind its inhibition of S. cerevisiae growth.
To do this we will employ electron microscopy and florescence microscopy techniques.
