Univ. concerning evolutionary history of a diversity of single-celled non-photosynthetic organisms (e.g. protozoans, protists, slime molds, etc.), based on their DNA analyses. One name that was really fun, and was an important and central organism was "Carpediemomonas"! or something close to that. In the previous week the room of 80 seats was full for Ken Storey, the expert on how various organisms like certain frogs like spring peepers and wood frogs can totally freeze in winter and then thaw out and revive. Chec= k out his Web-site by typing Kenneth Storey and Googling, or go to Carleton University? and search for his site there, for lots of info', references, and photos.=20 Cheers from Jim in Wolfville ---------- From: Wanda Langley <wanda.langley@acadiau.ca> Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 10:51:24 -0400 The Biology seminar for Thursday, January 31st will be given by Ken Griffiths, president of EM Atlantic Ltd. His presentation is called, =B3Beneficial Microorganisms =AD Real World Applications=B2=20 =20 Abstract: My talk will center on the use of beneficial microorganisms for use in agriculture, composting, waste treatment and human and animal health= . Our technology contains lactic acid bacteria, yeast and phototrophic bacteria. The technology was developed over 25 years ago in Japan and is currently used in 136 countries. This technology has the ability to naturally reduce greenhouse gas emissions, eliminate odour and to reverse the damage caused by the overuse of chemicals and synthetic agents. Ken graduated from Acadia in 2002 with a BSc Honors. He specialized in microbiology and molecular biology. Since graduation, he has worked for Environment Canada (Methylmercury project in Keji), The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (Inspector) and Agriculture and AgriFood Canada (Molecula= r basis of insecticide resistance in the Colorado Potato Beetle). EM Atlanti= c Ltd. incorporated in July, 2006 and has worked extensively with companies and government agencies in the areas of agriculture, composting and waste treatment.=20 ** Seminars take place Thursdays from 11:30 to 12:30 in PAT 308. Refreshments are provided, and everyone is welcome.
