"All the nutrients that a plant needs is in abundance in the sand silt and Clay you just need microbes to unlock it and make it available for the plant."
"Plants can actually access those microbes that are in the soil, so we've got soil living microbes that are internalized by plants and become endophytes I think that's extraordinary."
"Healthcare-associated infections result from microbes in the hospital environment and compromised hosts, making it a top cause of death in the United States."
"...I mean you're going to get a different kind of microbes you'll get some that are they'll be useful microbes but with the uh Johnson Sue bio reactor I'm pretty sure the main thing that's left after the maturation process is billus endospore formers..."
