The sample data for this problem is from an experiment in which the optimal conditions for growth and product formation were determined for a bacterial strain in a broth with a certain carbon source. The data is provided in the Excel spreadsheet (in the "Bacteria" tab). Two different nitrogen sources were evaluated (yeast extract and ammonium chloride) and three different incubation temperatures (30, 35 and 37C). The experiments were done in 24- well micro titer plates of which four wells were not inoculated. Therefore, 20 samples are available for each condition. Bacterial growth was evaluated after 24 hours using dry cell weight (in mg/ml) and optical density at 600 nm. The yield of a desired fermentation product was determined using gas chromatography and expressed in mM. Using MANOVA in MINITAB, is there interaction between temperature and nitrogen source? If applicable is there evidence that either temperature or the source of nitrogen impacted growth of the bacterial strain (as measured by dry cell weight, optical density, and yield)? Show the appropriate output from Minitab to support your claim and state the significance level that you used
