E. coli addition to my project

I have as of this point only been working with fruit flies, as they are organisms which are fairly close to humans. However, I also wanted to work with the Ames test, a test which is specifically designed for projects like mine. I am planning on ordering E. coli well plates soon to conduct the Ames test on my cell phone and radar guns. The procedure that I am planing on using is linked below.

    I am very interested in your research because of 5G. I read a lot of different things and am trying to separate fact from fiction. My understanding is a cell phone placed in a bee hive will kill it.??? So anything you find out about radar guns and cell phone radiation I'm interested in!

About This Project

Low frequency radiation is a very common form of radiation in people's lives, two examples being cell phones and car radar emitters, used as safety features. Some studies have raised concerns over cell phones, but the available literature remains inconclusive. I am testing E.coli using the Ames test, a test for mutagenic substances, and fruit flies, using both cell phones and radar guns. I hypothesize there will be no change in the rate of mutations among test specimen when exposed.

Blast off!
