Both had questions regarding the types of microbes in the samples. Erin specifically wanted to know what species were correlated to which controls and what types of fruits. Gioia wanted to know what species are the most universal in the starters. Both of these questions could be feasibly answered by gathering data from all the starters and putting them in graphs like the QIIME we looked at a couple weeks ago. Some different questions they had that I liked were “Does aroma correlate more strongly with fungal or bacterial types present?” (Erin) and “ Are there certain types of fruit/treatment groups that tend to have the same microbial makeup?” (Gioia). Gioia’s question was similar to one I asked previously. Erin’s question may be a little harder to answer just because we submitted aromas based on what we though
