Looking for sponsors from Andalucia’s bioregion.

Looking for several suitable mediums for Nitrosomonas europaea culture. The following articles were consulted and discussed, besides ATCC medium:

- Test medium for the growth of Nitrosomonas europaea; Chikashi Sato, Jerald L. Schnoor, Donald B. McDonald and Jon Huey; Applied and enviromental microbiology, May 1985, Vol. 49, No. 5, p. 1101-1107.

- Improved methods for the cultivation of the chemolithoautotrofic bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea; Bernice D. Chapman, Martina Scheleicher, Abraham Beuger, Peter Gotomski and Jürgen H. Thiele; Journal of Microbiological methods 65 2006 96-106.

- Ammonia or ammonium ion as substrate for oxidation by Nitrosomonas europaea cells and extracts. Isamu Suzuki, Usha Dular and S.C. Kwok; Journal of Bacteriology, Oct. 1974 Vol. 120, No. 1 p. 556-558.

Looking for possible metabolic ways in order to be ahead of strange experiment results. The following article was discussed:

- Global metabolite analisis: the influence of extraction metodology on metabolome profiles of Escherichia coli; Ram Prasam Maharjan and Thomas Ferenci; Analitical biochemistry 313 2003 145-154.
