Very cool experiment Tony, but some things I think you might consider if you're going to continue experimenting.

Thanks, and thanks for your comments.

1) Isn't S.Boulardii a good yeast/probiotic? Also this test only proves that in the environment with only honey(food) and S.Boulardii, Vit C kills S. Boulardii

True, S. Boulardi is not pathogenic.  The purpose of the test was to clear up some confusion regarding whether Vitamin C is cidal for yeasts. There is conflicting information on the subject.

Your second point is also valid. It's admittedly, a simple  in vitro experiment and I agree that you have to be careful what conclusions you draw. 

2) Wouldn't it be more beneficial to do this on fungus/yeast that is pathogenic?

Sure it would. But I don't have access.

3) What about repeating the test for other probiotics to see what good bacteria it kills? (Although I think this is less pertinent since the SB is supposed to be pretty sterile ideally right?)

Yes, those would be good experiments, particularly with something like B. Subtilis. Yes again. The context of the experiment is the question of how effective Vitamin C is at sterilizing the small bowel.
