Dear Eoin,
I am still interested in the idea of an OD probe that can be
easily stuck in a conical flask while shaking BUT pressure of work and
changing jobs has made me put that on the back burner for a while (damn
it).
Your reverences are mostly for pathogenesis arn't they? I know this is
the best relationship to study, but I was thinking of studies of good E
coli (you know how microbes are from three groups: the good the bad and
the ugly).
And something easily digestable by a lazy guy would be helpful too.
But thanks! Mike.
