• The National Collection of Industrial Food and Marine Bacteria: Most people are quite surprised to learn that such a thing exists but our collection includes bacteria isolated from all kinds of places including hippopotamus bathing water and the dental plaque of a baboon. Bacteria from the collection have been used in a broad range of research and industrial applications, and the collection has also had a long-standing connection with the oil and gas industry.
• Most Probable Number (MPN) demonstration. The importance of including sessile and planktonic samples and the issue of NORM contaminated coupons.
