Hi
winobloggers! I’m Paula and it is the second time I write here. I was taking
about the Winograndsky Column and today I’m going to bring you the results of
the third week.
We haven’t
seen big changes in the bottle maybe due to the fact that we mixed the mixture
with oil motor. Because of that our bottle isn’t so spectacular like the other
ones.
Despite
that we appreciated that the liquid inside the bottle is more liquid than
before as the water has spread out.
Another
thing we noticed is that it seems like the bottle had expelled vapours and they
had been dried. That has left red signs in the bottle. (Like redish dry
sediment).
On the
other hand, the sediment continues black like the other days although there are
a part in the top that seems clearer than the rest, maybe because it is
starting to appear life in the sediment.
These are
some pictures of the bottle during the third week.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteDo you have nay water overlying the sediment? I cannot really tell from the picture.
I can assure you that your column is full of life. Billions of bacteria live in every cm3 of your sediment. They are just not the types you are familiar with.
So why did you add the motor oil? What did you expect to see and what do you think happened?

Hi Sokratis.
DeleteFirst of all I want to answered the last question. We added motor oil because we wanted to confirm that the motor oil would make life die. However we were wrong because of the things you have said.
On the other hand, there is little water overlying the sediment.
Hola Paula! What could be the rusty red colour zone at the sediment-water interface? Do you (or any other from the Cadiz teams) have a reference column without oil? Or a reference in the dark?
