Where the silver particles land, the colonies will die and you will have your evidence. This assumes of course that you don't start with a strain resistant to silver.

Keith (can spell my own name on occasion...) First, I have to tell you I did have a double take on that spelling, but who am I to say. Second, your idea is interesting. I would love to watch the die-off in real time under the microscope. If the little buggers are clearly dying some distance from the silver surface, we would have evidence that silver ions are involved. If they are die only after coming in contact with the silver surface then we would have good evidence that atomic or particulate silver is involved. Using 500X to 800X may help in viewing just WHERE the maximum die-off is occurring. Roger -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
