what's a biofilm?

aggregation of bacterial cells living in a tight community found mostly in aquatic environments but can really be foun anywhere. The problem with them is that they display VERY high multi-drug resistance cuz of the way they develop.

even in industries they find them hard to kill off with strong anitmicrobials like bleach and those sort of chemicals.

so generally they just a HUGE pain in the ass, but they're the big thing in microbiology at the moment

    We are farmers john.
    Martin Matusiak agrees with me, slice of home.
    True dat, we import tons of stuff, which is why it's so expensive. Then they blatantly hike up the import tariffs on imported food so they can sell their mediocre Norwegian apples the two months out of the year they actually can produce.

    Where have you been dickarm?
    All up in the anus of myself to look for my head, I've been like a Yin and Yang for 3 days.
    A frozen Gino's is 10x better than 99% of the "fresh" pizza in California, let me tell you.

    Aha. You know I've met so many bio people lately, your field must be real popular just now. Haven't seen a chemist anywhere though. :D

    Dude, you are nine feet tall, you have to eat twice your body weight in coffee beans to survive. Like a human elephant.

    I opted not to go to the work dinner because I am not feeling well. I will be missing on one of my favourite pasta dishes in town. And I will not replace it with a frozen pizza even if I have already in my freezer.

    Which explains why I scratch my bare ass on tree bark.

    yeah you never had gino's
    My neighbor, a longtime resident of Beverly, has an annual bet with a coworker where the winner gets frozen Giordano's shipped to them. If I have to sign for it when he isn't around, I get to keep a bounty. :D

    Of course, I have frozen Gilardinos shipped to me directly, which explains Alberto's head in my freezer.

    But they are so expensive, like 7 bucks for one, you can get 3 Tombstones for that.
    Yeah, and I can eat the cardboard they're served on at $1 a pie. Not sure of the point here, Holmes. Pizza is like hookers: you pay a little more up-front and it's good going down, otherwise the next day there will be hell to pay. :pumpkin:
