From JBN Staff.  We decided to check if any bacteria was being formed when you refill a bottle of water instead of disposing of the bottle and purchasing another bottled water.

 It turns out you can refill the bottle over and over again and still no bacteria will be formed. That is unless you piss in the bottle.

Actually,  Bacteria reproduce by a process called cell division. A mature bacteria reproduces by dividing into two cells, each identical to each other and the parent bacteria. Under ideal conditions, bacteria can reproduce very rapidly, producing a new generation every 20 to 30 minutes.

And then there are spores:

First off, you might think of a bacterial spore roughly as a mummified bacterium. The spore has a hard protective coating that encases the key parts of the bacterium—think of this coating as the sarcophagus that protects a mummy. The spore also has layers of protective membranes, sort of like the wrappings around a mummy. Within these membranes and the hard coating, the dormant bacterium is able to survive for weeks, even years, through drought, heat and even radiation. When conditions become more favorable again—when there’s more water or more food available—the bacterium "comes to life" again, transforming from a spore back to a cell. Some bacterial spores have possibly been revived after they lay underground for more than 250 million years!

Ok, so how do bacteria turn themselves into spores? First, the bacterium senses that its home or habitat is turning bad: food is becoming scarce or water is disappearing or the temperature is rising to uncomfortable levels. So it makes a copy of its chromosome, the string of DNA that carries all its genes.

The JBN solution to controlling bacteria, is to dumb down the bacteria so that they're unable to do math or to read or write; no more division or copy-cats. How do we do this? Simple really, we just link them to our website.
