Thanks, I got a degree in Microbiology many years ago but have forgotten most of the specifics. Do you think these methods would be feasible on a large scale?

Sorry, if I had any idea, I wouldn't have posted a link to links!

For those of us who would have an idea - can you elaborate on the "large scale"? Assuming you 're not talking about a few flasks - are you speaking of kilogram scale of bacterial mass?
