I'm pretty sure the bacteria in semiconductor processing are the normal variety. Nanobacteria are still quite controversial. Here's Wikipedia's take: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nanobacteria are said to be cell walled microorganisms with a diameter well below the generally accepted lower limit (about 200 nanometres) for bacteria. Reports of them being living organisms are controversial. If they are living, there is speculation that they may be a newly discovered form of life, rather than bacteria. Although nanobes are sometimes called nanobacteria, it has not yet been confirmed that they could in fact be considered such. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanobacteria ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Regards, Mike Monett Antiviral, Antibacterial Silver: http://silversol.freewebpage.org/index.htm SPICE Analysis of Crystal Oscillators: http://silversol.freewebpage.org/spice/xtal/clapp.htm -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
