This was one of my favorite articles to read since I have began blogging about microbes. The way the information presented in the article was as if the author knew exactly what questions to answer at each point in the article. One thing I did find a little odd was that the name of the author was not presented on the website, www.phys.org. Why the name is not there I am unsure; regardless, this was a very well presented article.The article presents the facts of the experiment and which steps were executed to make the research successful.
Obvious to some, bacteria is what makes milk and other dairy products spoil. Dairy farmers pasteurize their product to get rid of harmful bacteria and microbes but some are able to survive it - otherwise known as the thermophiles. Thermophiles form spores to protect themselves from heat and makes them, "trickier to activate" as claimed by Anand.
While this information may be new to some of us, Anand and his team of eighteen students have been doing similar research on the topic for over five years. Like I say in majority of my blogs, there is much more research to be executed to perfect the theory. It's a good fantasy to think that one day we may not have to worry about our food going bad... and all natural way of course!

Milk is something that seems to always get spoiled in the fridge. This would be a great “discovery” for milk lovers! I’m not an avid milk lover, but I do enjoy my cereal and oatmeal with cold milk! Sometimes even a glass of milk by itself or with Oreos, especially Oreos! Back to the topic, I think this would be a great discovery, like I said, because milk is the first thing that always seems to spoil the fastest. It seems like 75% of the time I reach for milk, it’s spoiled! Then I have to put those Captain Crunch back! I never knew that Thermophiles were basically the ones to spoil our dairy products. It’s interesting to me how these Thermophiles form spores to protect themselves. This kind of reminds me of biofilms because of their ability to protect/resist. The only question that I can think of is how are these researchers developing ways to combat these heat-resistant microbes? Very interesting article and it seems well written! I hope this “find” is implemented in milk soon, so I can stop putting that Captain Crunch back!

Like Angelo said above, milk is always something we have to look after in our fridge from it expiring. Milk is so vital in my life due to the fact I drink my protein shakes with it every day. Imagine if they actually made this happen? I less milk would be thrown in the garbage but, less amounts of milk would probably be consumed. This also made me flashback to when I visited Mexico when I was younger. When the milk went bad my grandmother would boil the milk and add sugar to it and other ingredients that I don't recall that well and they would make a desert out of the spoiled milk. Anyways, this would be a life impacting change for everyone. Great article!
