Survival and disaster stories often have heroes boiling their drinking water before taking a sip. But does this method really work to eliminate potentially harmful bacteria and make water safe? Fortunately, the answer is yes.Boiling water is one method of disinfectionthat helps protect public health...
How does chlorine added to drinking water kill bacteria and other harmful organisms? Why doesn't it harm us? Jon J. Calomiris, Water Research Program Manager at the United States Air Force Research Laboratory, and Keith A. Christman, Director, Disinfection and Government Relations at the Chlor...
The abnormal growth of bacteria in the lining of the bladder can lead to a condition called cystitis or a bladder infection. These infections are characterized by pelvic pain, pain with urination, and the increased urge to urinate; the symptoms usually come on quite suddenly and are the result...
Therefore, salt causes bacteria to lose all of their water, resulting in cell death. Some bacteria, on the other hand, are salt-tolerant. These bacteria are known as halotolerant bacteria. How To Use Salt As Disinfectant Salt is a natural disinfectant that was widely available during eras when...
While many sources seem to indicate that sinking poops are preferred, others suggest that floaters are a sign that the diet contains a good amount of fiber. This is because those who eat more fiber, also known as prebiotics, have greater colonies of bacteria in the lower gut. This leads ...

Are bacteria benthos? What do marine nematodes eat? What is the largest bacteria? What are the three major marine ecological zones? What dissolved gases are required by nearly all marine organisms? What microorganisms belong to either eukaryotes or prokaryotes? Do marine organisms need fresh water?
Fungi are more sensitive to higher salt concentration than bacteria. Both low and high osmotic potential result difficulties for plant and microorganism to uptake water from soil. 2.2.1. How to manage salinity stress Soil salinity is a challenging task in front of farmers and agricultural scientist...
