Staph aureus anaerobic growth
This post addresses the conundrum that Staph aureus is a different bug biochemically depending on its environment. The Merck Manual gives four sites of Staph aureus infections: the blood, , the skin, the lung, and the bone. What we know about Staph growing in standard culture media under aerobic conditions may not approximate metabolism…

PEMF Staph aureus atopic dermatitis
Staphylococcus aureus is a factor in atopic dermatitis. This post is a continuation of killing faculatative anaerobes with very low frequency PEMF. This post makes the case the PEMF can kill Staph aureus in in vitro systems and gives an introduction to atopic dermatitis. The sister post, Staph aureus metabolism, deep dives into possible…

PEMF, green light, nitrate reductase
Nitrate reductase is a target of PEMF. This same enzyme absorbs in the green region of the visible spectrum that some biohackers like to use for healthy skin. .zeemi 2016 demonstrated that 538 nm green/yellow light resulted in maximal E coli growth reduction. Giordani & Buc 2004 demonstrated a 560 nm absorption band in…
