Hi: I'm in Southern California of USA. I live in Diamond Bar. It's pretty warm here. I bought a 64 fluid-oz, 1.89 liter [1/2 gallon]carton of nonfat lactose-free milk and poured the milk into a plastic container with an air-tight lid. The container is now sealed-shut and in the closet of one of my bedrooms and it is room temperature in the closet. How long will it take for the bacteria in the milk to completely metabolize the milk and replace the milk with more bacteria and bacterial waste products? IOW, when can I expect the milk to disappear? Thanks, Green Xenon

What if the lost keratin is replaced with an equal volume of elastin?

Hi: Let's say that some of what originally fit the category of "my favorite bacteria" -- described here http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=40732 -- mutate into pathogens that feed on any and all forms of keratin. What would happen to me if I was infected with that bacteria? Since keratin seems to make up the already-dead parts of our skin, hair, and nails -- I doubt an infection would cause me any fatality or permanent disability. I'm guessing my skin and hair would become unusually soft and smooth due to the loss of keratin. There would be an awful body odor from the bacterial degradation of keratin. My skin would be coated in pus, as my immune reacts to those bacteria. Do I guess right? Thanks

Hi: Which MFSK modem uses the most bits-per-symbol? Thanks

Hi: I've heard that during severe protein deficiency, body protein is broken down to provide protein for the vital organs. Can this damage the kidneys? Thanks

Hi: Is there such a thing as Capacitor-Free Dynamic Volatile Random Access Memory? If so, are there any CFDVRAM chips available for PCs? Thanks

What kind of device is the closest possible? My guess is that it would involve the use of two devices. The first device inverts any portion of the signal going below the x-axis. So all amplitude values of the output signal will be positive. Next, is to insert this output into the input of a frequency modulator -- causing higher input amplitudes to result in a higher frequency output signal from the frequency modulator. Since none of the input amplitudes go below the x-axis, none of the output frequencies will go below the base frequency. Am I on the right track?

Yeah, I learned in the microbiology class that it is present in Swiss cheese and hence wouldn't hurt to drink it.

Yes. What is the least expensive way for me to built my vintage dream PC?

I didn't ask. But I can easily guess. I actually did an experiment on myself. At the end of the quarter when my course was finished, I took a sample of the bacteria [brevibacterium linens] and put it in a glass of cranberry juice at room temperature. I waited for 2 weeks, the juice became greenish. I then refrigerated it for another week. I then drank all of it. Tasted nice. I didn't get sick at all.

Why not?

Can electric ion propulsion engines be used for automobiles? As for the nuclear reactor. Hydrogen-boron fusion beats any fission, without a doubt. H-B fusion is clean.

Your guess was right. I took a microbiology class last spring, and there was emphasis on dangers of LPS [the chief endotoxin of gram-negative pathogens]. So that is why I prefer gram-positive -- or even gram-neutral -- over gram-negative.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an obligate aerobe, so it is not in my list of favorite bacteria to begin with.

You have a valid point. During surgery, anti-septic is a must because most foreign microbes will cause a deadly inflammation response if they enter the bloodstream. The mast cells react to the foriegn body causing brain-damaging fevers and blood clots that can lead to stroke/heart-attack. Hence, the blood must remain sterile at all costs. However, most bacteria on the skin/mucous membranes is a good thing.

1. "My favorite bacteria" are harmless so my guests are safe 2. There are enough of "my favorite bacteria" in my house to dominate any other bacterium that enters

Hi: My vintage dream PC contains the most advanced motherboard [in terms of ability to handle the highest processor speed of it's type as well as maximum RAM capability] that contains the most amount of 16-bit ISA slots but does not contain any PCI or any other non-ISA slots either. It does not even have any EISA or SCSI. Here are the other specs of my vintage dream PC 1. OSes: Windows 3.0 [not 3.0a, just 3.0] and the most advanced version of DOS fully compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 2. Sound Card: Most advanced version of SB16 ISA [all accessories -- such as speakers included] with Creative Music FM Synth but without any wavetable or sample-playback synthesis -- fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 3. A video card that handles both 16 and 256 color with the highest refresh rate and pixel-X-pixel resolution and pixel-per-inch resolution fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 3a. Most advanced monitor fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 4. NDW [Norton Desktop for Windows] with Sleeper [screensaver] and batchrun.exe "Norton Desktop (Utility Suite) for Windows 3.0", I believe. 5. Canyon.mid [midi file often present with Windows OSes] -- Windows 3.0 version if the song specifically sounds different in 3.0 6. Window Entertainment Pack [including the Idlewild screensaver] 7. Most advanced version of Creative Lab's SB16 FM MIDI kit fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 8. The CD-ROM disk that contains what's described in the following link: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.technology.obsolete/msg/a57ec0bb21f6d19b 9. Three most advanced ISA-card modems of their type fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC for the following: A. The 1st modem is to be used similar to phone and. Perhaps to talk over the phone via the PC B. The 2nd modem is for dial-up internet access and is an MFSK-based ISA dial-up modem. Of course this assumes that MFSK-based modems would exist for internet access and be fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. If MFSK is not an option, then FSK is okay. Hoping for MFSK but prepared for FSK if MFSK is not possible. FSK = Frequency-Shift Keying MFSK = Multiple-Frequency-Shift-Keying. If MFSK is indeed existent and fully-compatible with the rest of my system, then I would prefer that it be the type of MFSK which uses the most bits-per-baud that is fully-compatible with the rest of my system. Even better if the remote PC that connects my PC to the internet also has the same characteristics as my dream PC and is located in Switzerland while my PC and I are in Southern California. Yup! Long Distance International Dial-Up Internet Access! C. The 3rd modem uses the European Deaf Telephone [EDT] protocol and can be used to communicate with the EDT devices in Switzerland. Of course, I'm assuming this even exists for PCs and is fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my system. 10. The most advanced Netscape-based browser the would be fully compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my PC. 11. "The Software Toolworks Multimedia Encyclopedia", Version 1.5, Grolier, Inc. (1992) CD-ROM disc. 12. Most advanced versions of internet languages [such as JavaScript and CSS – or available equivalents] fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 13. Most advanced CD-ROM player fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 14. Most advanced HDD fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 15. Most advanced RAM fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 16. Most advanced CPU fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. Thanks, Green Xenon

No offense but anti-bacterials are bad. Most bacteria are good for us. We need bacteria to protect us from pathogenic microscopic fungi -- such as athlete's foot. In addition, most anti-bacterial substances are directly toxic to our cells. Read my post on "my favorite bacteria" -- http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=40732

I'm describing what I wish to happen. Doesn't necessarily mean it's possible. I'm into sci-fi as well as microbiology. If these bacteria can't find any source for support, then they are magically-provided with it. This magic source is completely massless, imperceptible and does not take up any space or volume at all. If the bacteria can find support, then the magic disappears. This magic is a source of rescue in the event that the bacteria can't get what they want/need.

Usually butter is made by churning milk. However, I was just curious as to whether -- at least hypothetically -- butter could be made by bacteria acting on the nonfat parts of milk.

Couldn't a filter with microscopic parts be added to the vents to selectively allow gram-positive and gram-neutral bacteria in while filtering out the gram-negative bacteria based on the shapes of the bacterial cells? Hopefully something like this could be used to keep out those nasty fungi [such as athletes foot] and allergens [such as dust and pollen] while welcoming in the good bugs. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged I wonder if butter could be made using bacteria. I've heard that bacteria can easily digest and metabolize carbohydrates and proteins but have a hard time processing lipids [such as cholesterol]. If this is true, then can bacteria be used to breakdown all the carbs and proteins in the milk [which pretty much constitute most of the non-fat milk solids] to make the butter? Once the proteins and carbs are metabolized by the bacteria, they will no longer be in the hard solid form the originally were in. For example, casein [the chief milk protein] is solid, however, once bacteria break it down, they will convert it to amines, ammonia, propionic acids and other volatile compounds -- some maybe solid but very soft and not take up as much space as the original casein.

lol Alton Brown, one of the comedian cooks. Just like Emeril Lagasse.

Thanx

What if the source of bacteria is the fresh raw cow's milk itself? Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged Not at all. However, it's a question even I don't have an answer to. I don't know why.

Yeasts are fungi, not bacteria.
