One way that this experiment is significant is to see if a higher sugar is a factor in decomposition of organic materials. This could help determine how long it takes for food waste to decomposed based on sugar content. This would be helpful for those who wished to start a compost pile to estimate how long it would take to break down certain foods and plan accordinly. This experiment closely ecology and how different organism react to each other by breaking down dead organisms. While there are many different factors that play a role in decomposition, sugar levels could help derive a connection between bacteria and the time it takes to break down an organism.
Good ideas.
