WALTHAM, MA, April 26, 2011 (Press-News.org) In 2011 'Fresh' will continue to grow in importance as a key deciding factor on where to shop for groceries.

How can retailers keep up with the trends without having to pay the toll of decreasing margins due to excessive damage and waste?
Sammy Kolt, VP of Applications and Omer Matityahu, COO will discuss new market trends, best practices and where profit opportunities lie from current case studies.
Join us on Thursday, April 28th at 1:00 pm EST to learn how to:

Novel microorganism 'Nitrososphaera viennensis' isolated
2011-04-26
Life on Earth would be impossible, without the metabolic capacities of the smallest of all living forms, the Bacteria and the Archaea. These microorganisms play a central role in global nutrient cycles, because they degrade organic matter to the smallest compounds, thus bringing them back to the atmosphere or recycling them for the synthesis of novel cells. "However, the great diversity and high numbers of Bacteria and Archaea in soils have only been detected relatively recently, with the help of molecular biological methods", says Christa Schleper, head of the department ...
