Microbiological contamination of water sources is a common problem in many countries and chemical contamination (notably arsenic and fluoride) is increasingly a concern.

Even the smallest soil sample contains billions of micro organisms, of which microbiologists will have characterized less than 5 per cent.

The stock on hand at the end of the year, including stocks of agents, pathogenic micro organisms and toxins in process of transformation

The Convention broadly defines genetic material as any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin containing functional units of heredity and genetic resources as genetic material of actual or potential value (art. 2).

Although the biological work was initiated by Iraq in the 1970s, at that stage it was focused on general research into the basic parameters and characteristics of different micro organisms but, in general, not exclusively those traditionally associated with biological warfare.

(3) foods that contain pathogenic parasites, microorganisms or an amount of microbial toxin exceeding the tolerance prescribed by the State

And then we're ready to add the living organism.

When earthquakes take place, massive amounts of these new microbes we've never seen before come out of the sea floor.

In ecosystems, the waste from one organism becomes the nutrient for something else in that system.

Buildings are complex ecosystems that are an important source of microbes that are good for us, and some that are bad for us.

It has microbes on it that are commonly associated with our skin and with our mouth, our spit.

You need the bacteria to fix nitrogen, and without those microorganisms, you won't have any performance at all.

There are thousands of microbes there.

What is bioenergy? Bioenergy is not ethanol.

What happens is that the corals are a symbiosis, and they have these little algal cells that live inside them.

Add (cultures only) after each microorganism in the list.

(d) Control over the biological safety of foodstuffs by means of standard methods of microbiological analysis.

In that one single piece of ice, you have 300 species of microorganisms.

These images from the American Society for Microbiology show us the process.

There are microbes, you know go back to yeast.

The paleontologists themselves looked a bit more closely at the accompanying microfauna that lived in the same time and place as the hominids.

Our ocean's teaming with microbes in fact, when Craig Venter went and sequenced the microbes in the ocean, in the first three months tripled the known species on the planet by discovering all new microbes in the first 20 feet of water.

Most people don't realize it, because they're invisible, but microbes make up about a half of the Earth's biomass, whereas all animals only make up about one one thousandth of all the biomass.

The glass started to burn and crack, while the microbes sitting in the bottom just got happier and happier.

There's a new microbe, I just discovered it.

This is actually just a microorganism.

The good news is that the same technology that allowed miniaturization of electronics is now allowing us to miniaturize biological laboratories.

Research should be carried out on new sources of funds at the international level, especially for the conservation of biodiversity.

Legislative Decree n. 206 2001 (article 22) sanctions with imprisonment up to 3 years whoever, in carrying out activities related to the contained use of genetically modified micro organisms, endangers public health or natural biotic and non biotic resources.

Like the World Network of Microbiological Resources Centres, the five regional centres provide research and training opportunities at the regional level in the diverse aspects of biotechnology and its potential application.

We talk about biofuels that haven't been invented yet.

Our bodies are home to trillions of microbes, and these creatures define who we are.

When the scientific method provided that new way of thinking and biology showed that microorganisms caused disease, suffering was alleviated.

And inside these wells, then microbial communities begin to form.

The new nitrogen can promote the growth of algae and other organisms.

In African countries, biomass is the key source of energy, accounting for 50 to 90 per cent of the total national energy supply.

e. For China's national legal framework and enforcement measures with regard to securing the storage of biological weapons and related materials, see the Tentative Measures of the People's Republic of China on the Stockpiling and Management of Veterinary Bacteria Cultures, the Measures of the People's Republic of China on the Stockpiling and Management of Medical Bacteria Cultures, and the General Biosafety Standard for Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories.

And the what, I think, is that we returned, over and over again, to the Pre Cambrian world, that first microbial age, and the microbes are still out there.

What excites me about using microbes is their efficiency.

The article provides for the possible exclusion from patentability of certain innovations in order to protect human, animal or plant life or health other than micro organisms, and essentially biological processes for the production of plants and animals other than non biological and microbiological processes.

Not only is it coming out of the Earth so, biogenesis made from volcanic activity but that bacteria supports these colonies of life.

There are microbes out there that actually make gasoline, believe it or not.

Monitoring food caused diseases, when it comes to microbiological contamination, is performed by the Epidemiology Service of the Health Protection Institute on the basis of the reports sent on regular basis from the health centres.
