Hi folks..
I'm looking for a way to convert glycerol to ethanol or glucose.  Is this
possible with the use of yeast or bacteria?  I'm sure there must be a
strain of microorganism that should be able to do this for me.

We have problems with the interpretation of a simple experiment. Maybe
someone can give us a little help.
About 20 ml E.coli K12 culture was filtrated carefully through a
nitrocellulose filter and resuspended in 10 ml deionized water

Can you tell me a metodology to determinate the expiration date for food by
micobiological side (by total count, water activity, pH etc.)
thanks

I've looked everywhere for data on the use of ionizers for the destruction
of household bacteria.
I'm not a microbiologist so I on't have access (or knowledge of) the
resources you're likely to but can someone point me in the right direction

Help! Millions a tiny worms are eating my meat, what can I do?

Hi everybody, I'm new to this groups so please bear with me if I make

organism.  I have looked and looked, and although I can find functions for
the organelles, they do not explain their role in survival. i.e respiration
is performed by the mesosomes (or mitochodria in eukaryotes) ...

I'm working on a project about lichen symbiosis, and I'm trying to
prepare slides of the lichen thallus for investigation. Unfortunately, I
can't get the slices thin enough to view properly. I need slices a few
cells thick, nearly transparent. I'm using one of those flimsy steel

I am working with complex networks, and studying some networks of aminoacids.
But I am not a biologist, I am phisicist. So, my knowledge about proteomics
isnt so deep.
I would like to know if I can find a primary structure of a general alpha helix

Don't blindly accept the unfounded "theory of evolution" as fact just because it
was forced to be printed in our school's textbooks. The facts are obvious.
Judge for yourself how absurd this theory really is.
