Bibliography.

If you conduct laboratory classes or work in the lab with methanogens,
this Manual could be useful to you and definitely a good reference
manual.

Request:
I know there are very few manuals for handling methanogens specifically.
If you know of any others, please inform us electronically or
send me a complimentary copy for a review to : MIRCEN-Stockholm,
Karolinska Inst, 10401 Stockholm, Sweden.

Thank you Siggi for the 3 references for laboratory methods
for handling methanogens. It is good to have you back again.
As you might have read in the earlier messages in this electronic
conference, ADM has established an exchange of messages with
BIOCONVERSION - an international bulletin board in the
BIOSCI bulletin board network. This would mean that individuals
can now participate in ADM from any computer network (without
the need to access QZCOM directly). This can be a much cheaper
access route if you have a local host with computer network
(e.g. EARN) connection.

I dont have the price for CEC's movie film but will ask them
and keep you informed.

For the benefit of BIOCONVERSION subscribers, I would like to
request that ADM members please provide a new self-introductory
message with e.g. your name and address, and a short description
of what you do in the area of AD and Bioconversion. Your self-intros
will also be posted in Bioconversion. Regards, Foo
