I'm looking for information on the disposal of large batches of benign
freeze-dried bacteria. Any ideas?

Hello, I came across an interesting concept and I was wondering if will
would help me out?
What do you know about encapsulation of waste as a remedial technology?
How can encapsultion of waste occur during an environment site analysis?

I have had a great experience having my manuscripts edited by
BioScience Writers.com.  They do a great job, are fast, and
inexpensive.  If you need to have a manuscript, grant or dissertation
edited, I highly recommend them!

Hi
I am not sure if this is the right group to post this message but I
can still try I guess......
I wanted to ask if anyone knew of a vital stain for fungi- I have

How can I differentiate between yeasts & moulds growing on Malt Extract Agar
(upon visual examination of the colonies only)?
I was under the impression that in general if the colonies were 'round &
smooth' they were yeasts and if they were 'woolly/fibres' or looked rough

Could anyone explain to me on what way babies acquire symbiontic
bacteria, living in the large intestines? I pressume this process
doesn't take place through the placenta, but please feel free to
correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm helping out my daughter with a school experiment involving
bacteria response to different disinfectant applications.
I'm using a LW Scientific Observer II  4 - 10 - 40  scope.
400x seems just enough to see the critters, however, it doesn't magnify

Can anyone give me a good example of microencapsulation and a good example
of macroencapsulation with regards to solid waste management?

I have data from a set of competitive inhibition experiments.   My
data consists of substrate concentration [S] monitored over time (t)
for various concentrations of inhibitor [I] at a certain enyme
concentration [E].   I understand about getting the initial velocity

Question: Which of the procedures below causes a rabbit to produce antibodies
that are destructive or antagonistic to Pneumococcal bacteria. In other words,
which statement below is correct, and If both procedures below produce
antibodies, which one is the most optimal.

Last week I saw in BBC NEWS that a diagnostic kit has been approved by
Food and Drug Administration which has a swab like thing ,which can
detect the presence of HIV virus when introduced in mouth . if any one
could tell me about it then it would be very helpful.

and all the other small critters with my shotgun, if they dare to
invade my house, my car or my body.
They are not allowed on my property!
