  The purpose to perform hanging drop experiment is to determine bacterial motility and to find the difference between true motility and Brownian movement. To try conducting this experiment you would require materials like, depression slide, cover slip, petroleum jelly and prefer broth medium which is less than 24 hours old. You can use broth medium of pseudomonas or Bacillus and E coli.
