You can find non-pathogenic freeze-dried Staphylococcus bacteria with growth medium from scientific supply companies or online biological supply stores. These companies offer a variety of non-pathogenic bacterial strains for research and educational purposes. Make sure to follow appropriate safety protocols when working with bacteria in a lab setting.
Biosensors can be made to detect almost anything. You could design a biosensor to detect a non-pathogenic bacteria but there would be few people who would want to buy it.
Simple Solution Stain and Odor Remover contains denatured ethanol along with natural non-pathogenic bacteria and enzymes. You should be able to find Simple Solution in PETCO also other pet specialty stores or on line. They also have a line now in WALMART retail locations across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
It's a biohazard. If you don't already know where to get it, you shouldn't be messing around with it.
You don't need to isolate it. You can buy it ready isolated as a pure freeze dried strain from the National Collection of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria (NCPPB). Just Type NCPPB into Google or copy and paste this link into your URL box... http://www.ncppb.comYou might need licences to obtain / work with it but they will be able to advise.Good luck.
You can buy bacteria (and also yeasts, molds, and viruses) from institutions called type culture collections and from some commercial sources that supply high school and university biology classes. Here are some sources for the USA: ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) http://www.atcc.org This is the authoritative source, but it serves research institutions predominantly and is pretty expensive. Supply of anything to individuals is restricted. Presque Isle Cultures http://www.picultures.com has a small collection and sells non-pathogenic strains also to individuals. Carolina Biological Supply also sells a few bacteria including E. coli: http://www.carolina.com/product/escherichia+coli+b%2C+living.do?keyword=coli&sortby=bestMatches
Chlorine is an effective agent against treating your pool against bacteria. You can buy supplies to test and treat your pool at pool shops.
Lactic acid bacteria can be purchased from specialty health stores, online retailers, or through suppliers that cater to the food and beverage industry. They are commonly available in the form of probiotic supplements, fermented foods like yogurt and kefir, or starter cultures for homemade fermentation.
You buy a little test kit, and adjust the chlorine as directed.
No you canÍt buy Shewanella Oneidensis. It is a bacterium that reduces poisonous heavy metal.Stewanella Onedensis was first spotted in Lake Oneida NY in 1988.
no bottled water does not have bacteria because nobody had ever died of drinking it. It only has bacteria if you like buy it from the dollar store or a auction market in africa... Additional answer The above answer implies that BECAUSE nobody has ever died from drinking bottled water that there are no bacteria in it. Firstly, how do you KNOW that nobody has died from this, and secondly you won't necessarily die from bacteria, but it doesn't mean they're not there. The above answer also says that if you buy cheap water then there will be bacteria. This conflicts with the first part of that answer which says there are no bacteria!
Absolutely not unless you have an aquarium and bacteria and other things for it to feed on, besides that's a lot of $ to buy an aquarium.
