on Scientists see AIDS vaccine within reach after decades

Wed Jul 18 22:20:53 2012

This is a good development.The earlier the AIDS vaccine is developed,the better for the world.

on Eternal Yogurt: The Starter That Lives Forever

Fri May 4 17:15:50 2012

There is no problem if the yoghurt starter culture outlive the discoverer.The important thing is that the desireable characteristics (such as flavour,colour ,taste) inherent in the starter culture is continuously maintained or possibly improved. This can possibly guarantee increased demand for the yoghurt.

A very good micrograph. C.difficile , a toxin producing microbe.

on E. coli could convert sugar to biodiesel at 'an extraordinary rate,' say Stanford researchers

Thu Nov 17 01:55:54 2011

This an amazing discovery about E.coli. It also shows that the potentials of this minute creature are numerous and are yet to be fully tapped. Moreover, it shows that E.coli once believed to have only negative economic importance can also have positive economic importance. More research efforts will definitely confirm this.

on Campylobacter bacteria

Thu Sep 1 21:58:57 2011

Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most popular and notorious pathogens causing food borne diseases not only in the United States but also in other countries across the world. This scanning electron microscope image is showing a very good structure of the microbe.

on Bacterial Resistance to Antibiotics: The More They Resist, the More They Divide

Fri Aug 5 22:01:30 2011

This is indeed a challenge that must be faced and overcome. Further research is seriously needed to stop this bacteria resistance and especially this peculiar divisions and multiplications.

on Salmonella enteritidis

Wed Aug 3 19:52:19 2011

The most important thing is to produce or synthesize an appropriate antibiotic that can stop the activities of this dangerous microbe.I believe this is possible.

on Escherichia coli showing flagella

Sun Jun 5 21:17:02 2011

A very informative piece about E.coli 0157:H7 . The lethal tendencies of this microbe should be curbed or stopped immediately.Required and appropriate antibiotics should be synthesized or produced by researchers.This becomes imperative so as to avoid a pandemic of a monumental proportion globally.

on The chronic fatigue virus: de-discovered?

Tue May 31 21:09:08 2011

Now that it has been proven that XMRV is not the virus responsible for chronic fatigue,researchers will have to intensify their effort at discovering the actual cause of chronic fatigue.We cannot afford to be mislead anymore.

on Filtering out pesticides with E. coli

Mon Apr 18 00:25:32 2011

This has again expose the versatility of Escherichia coli. Its ability to extract the toxic pesticides, parathion and methyl parathion from the polluted air is of a positive economic importance.

on Gram-positive Enterococcus sp. bacteria

Mon Apr 18 00:00:18 2011

Examining enterococcal isolates at the species level using new rapid surveillance methods is commendable. However,their resistance to many and sometimes all standard therapies is of serious concern. Therefore,serious effort should be made by researchers to tackle this issue of enterococcal resistance globally. This becomes imperative so as to reduce or totally eradicate all infections associated with Enterococcus sp bacteria.

on Ozone reduces fungal spoilage of fruits and vegetables

Tue Apr 12 17:20:01 2011

Kudos to you,Dr Ian Singleton for this discovery and also for the recommendations highlighted. For now, i strongly feel ( or suggest) that the usage of ozone for preservation of fruits and vegetables should be restricted possibly for industrial or commercial purposes only. This is because the local farmers may not be able to administer it in the required concentrations ;unlike in the industries where effective monitoring could be done by the quality-control personnels.Effort should also be made to ensure or confirm that ozone does not have any adverse effect on the genetic make-up and the nutritive values of these fruits and vegetables.

on 'Virus-eater' discovered in Antarctic lake

Thu Mar 31 19:47:03 2011

This is indeed a great discovery. The usefulness of a virophage can not be overemphasized.It can be of tremendous use in curbing the menace of viral pathogenic diseases in both plant and animals throughout the world.More research is still needed by marine microbiologists or virologists to identify and possibly characterize as many virophages as possible. Their physiology ,biochemistry and metabolism should also be researched into.

on Discovery of Jumping Gene Cluster Tangles Tree of Life

Sat Feb 12 17:25:13 2011

Please, kindly do more research to authenticate the fact that there is indeed a horizontal transfer of wholesale pathways in or among these fungi .This may proof to be a significant discovery.

on Chemists introduce 'killer' bacteria-fighting paper

Sat Feb 12 16:59:04 2011

This is a very good innovation. I hope this will not have a dis advantage of affecting the biodegradation of the paper especially in refuse dumps.

on From the"weird science" files, it's gross, but amazing if it works

Sat Feb 5 16:50:20 2011

This is incredible. I wonder if this procedure will not be irritating to most people. Anyway , my suggestion is that the procedure should be subjected to serious peer-review . Also, care should be taken to avoid indiscriminate use of this procedure, especially in the less developed world. Until probably the World Health Organisation ( W H O) comes out with a blueprint or statement validating the use of this procedure ,serious caution should be exercised.

on Detecting Tuberculosis: No Microscopes, Just Rats

Tue Jan 11 19:37:48 2011

Great discovery. This can be of help in extremely poor nations where access to modern diagnostic facilities may be scarce. I think more research is still needed to authenticate and prove that the rats can not transmit or spread this disease or other infections.

on Researchers Select Microbes to Improve Chocolate

Tue Dec 21 19:47:17 2010

Keep up the the good work. Production of better and more diverse chocolates will be so much appreciated considering the fact that the demands and the consumption of chocolates cut accross borders globally.

on Bacteria seem to be doing a good cleanup job in gulf

Sat Sep 4 23:15:26 2010

This has shown again the tremendous potential of microbes, especially the bacteria as bioremediation agent. It has saved millions of Dollars that would have been used to purchase chemicals dispersants and other depollution agents.

on Microbes set on a mission to fight groundwater pollution

Tue Apr 20 21:38:53 2010

Indeed, this is a good and unique discovery.It has the potential of solving problems associated with water-borne diseases.It may also be useful in bioremediation of polluted water.

on Almost out of this world life found right here on Earth

Sat Apr 17 22:03:30 2010

This discovery can be of tremendous use in the bioremediation of oil spillages . It should be given a wider dissemination.
