yeah i have no dout he is a great resource, for sure. i think his work is on known existing bacteria mostly the "nitro's" and which ones are more effective in the aquarium at certain things that interest his founders. i am sure his employeer limits and determines the direction of his research. not that it doesnt hold up.
its just this is a new possible class and was only found 5 years ago. a new family is proposed "pseudovidrio" for the two strains found so far, maybe to be included are the 3 types found in the grassy shore areas too. its about time, IMO, i mean most are still classified as they were 50 years ago because they are gram neg rods, or there O2 usage no other reason. given what we see/know now and how fast bacteria evolve, its time to update. |
