A friend fed his dogs some raw hamburger meat
that had been in the refrigerator for over a month.
All died within 10 hours.  We wish to know a guess
of what specific species (or family) of bacteria might

Hi,
Has anyone heard of FoFu media? I need it to grow a culture of
Wolinella succinogenes, but I can't find information on it anywhere.
If you have heard of it, where can I buy it or how is it made?

I was hoping that you could give me some advice to the following problem:
I would need to cut large circular DNA (several hundreds of kilobases in
size) exactly once (or at most only a few times). I do not know the
nucleotide sequence of the molecules and additionally they will not ...

Well I hope to find out a bit about what you, the public, think about
stem cell technology using scenarios.
This qualitative research will form part of a dissertation.
It will take between 20-40 minutes to take part.  I am sure you will

I wanted to follow up with a question to a response that had been made
in a short thread I started back a while ago, months and months, but I

I'm an A-Level Biology student and am in the middle of a Microbiology
coursework.
I had to research and compare the effectiveness of Streptomycin against a
gram positive (Staphylococcus albus) and a gram-negative (E.coli) bacteria.

Hi, I'm a student taking a bacteriology class and I'm having some

Hi, Microbio members.  Like many Biology departments in universities across Canada, our university, the University of New Brunswick at Saint John, has decided to phase out the comprehensive exam in favour of a proposal defense/qualifying exam as part of the requirements for ...

I've reciently compleated an elementary transduction expirlament with
P1 and E. coli. My precent cells transduced was 2e-8. Can anyone tell
me are there general or expected percentages when using P1?
Is the value, precent cells transduced, used as a compairison or is it

Greetings Group,
I'm working on a poster where I am using various bacteria to metabolize
small molecules (i.e., selegiline, aka deprenyl and other drugs) and
detecting any metabolites/degredation products using LC/MS/MS.

Does anyone know of any software (preferrably freeware/shareware) that can
fold RNA? i have a sequence of approx. 3000 bases i would like to fold.
RNAfold keeps giving me the ellusive "FLT overflow."
