In our last episode we fermented some sliced cabbage and shredded turmeric and garlic to make a turmeric kraut. Today we are going to ferment some whole green beans to make pickled Dilly Beans. Most people

You might think; How? Our cellphones are one of the dirtiest things in the world. In fact, it has been proven to be the second most dirtiest thing in the world, after money. Cellphones are 10 times dirtier

Fellow science enthusiast of the stem social community, today we're going to talk about this super interesting bacteria called Clostridium. I know, I know, bacteria might not sound like the most exciting

When it comes to water, most people’s immediate concern is whether it is clean. A valid point for sure. But what do we actually mean by “clean”? Is it safe to drink? Or suitable for washing our bodies,

Our gardening has taken a little back step so that I can work on policy but the DIY continues.

The efficacy of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis seems to depend on an optimal interaction zone, mediated by the symbiont species involved and edaphic conditions.. Additionally, arbuscular mycorrhizal

The following post was taken from my blurt blog: INDIGENOUS MICROORGANISM 2 aka IMO 2. Stabilizing the indigenous microorganisms As I typically do, I will first direct you to alternate and in my opinion

A mirror post from the Steem blockchain. post was a test for engagement on Steem. 0 engagement so I will stay on Hive

It LOOKS disgusting - like 3 day old chicken meat. Urgh. Mentally it's always a challenge for me to do this little chore. But as soon as I get through the visual and textural triggers, I LOVE it. Kombucha

Science fiction has made so many things look untrue or unattainable but science has made them a dream come through. With improvement in technological research, nanowire-sprouting bacteria has been able

Nature is good. It has some of the best medicines. Just being out in nature is good for your mental and emotional health and eating what you grow helps your body. Soil which grows which grows our food

Here are two videos I made of Vorticella. These are basically filter feeders. I have posted examples before but these show more detail, especially the vortexes they create near their "mouths"

After a bit of a break I am back with some more microscope videos I recorded. These are both at a magnification of 40x. This first video shows an organism which is approximately 60 microns in length. I'm

Hi again. Another microscope video I made. This is from another sample of stagnant water. This is a close up of a microorganism called a ciliate. I'm not sure of the exact type ... possibly Euplotes.

Hi. I haven't posted in a while but after finding some more interesting critters under the microscope, I had to share. This is from a drop of stagnant water. There are some very large paramecium swimming

Some more microscopic life. Magnification x 400. This video shows a small thread of cyanobacteria. I think the two large spherical structures on the left side are heterocysts which are able to fix atmospheric

Greetings. Still exploring with the microscope. Here are a couple of videos showing cool microbes. I'm not sure exactly what they are though. This next one is pretty amazing. This guy is about 20 by 30

Two more videos from drain water. The first shows a clump of algal strands with a mass of bacteria swarming around it and the second shows two amoeba slithering around. I showed another amoeba in a previous

Hi again. Here are three more microscope videos. These are from a drop of drain water. Magnification factor x400. The first one shows a huge critter... well, at 70 microns across he's huge compared to
