Resilient earth microbes might grow on Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus

Some very resilient Earth microorganisms might be able to grow in Enceladus. Scientists have successfully cultivated a few of these microorganisms in the lab under the same conditions that are thought to exist on the moon, opening up the possibility that life might be lurking there. This is the first study that shows that life may have found a way to survive in an extremely cold and unfriendly environment deep within the Solar System. @ https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/27/17053164/enceladus-saturn-moon-alien-life-microbes-methane-hydrothermal-vents

Alvim Biofilm Probe

Alvim Biofilm Probe help to detect bacterial settlement and growth inside water lines, tanks, and other surfaces in contact with the water and other liquids allowing to check, at the same time, the efficacy of sanitation treatments and water treatments. The ALVIM real-time, online, Biofilm Monitoring System is able to detect bacterial settlement down to 1% of surface covered by microorganisms and, basing on these data, to manually or automatically adjust and optimize cleaning treatments / biocide treatments (in industrial water systems, cooling towers, pure water lines, etc.) allowing to check, at the same time, the efficacy of the cleaning. @ http://www.alvimcleantech.com/cms/en/biofilmsensors/food-safety

Real time detection of bacteria allows to optimize sanitation, increasing Food Safety
