A bacteria could put an end to the powder accumulation in the sensor of the SLR
- Thread starter barbuvasile
- Start date
"the cleaning properties of a variant of the bacteria E-coli"...
sounds like there are a lot more than a couple of technical obstacles to be overcome before anyone starts selling E-coli infected cameras on the open market!

A bacterium could end the problem of the dust in the sensor of the SLR
Turned one of the most controversial subjects of the sector, a new discovery could give an upset to the problem of the dust accumulation in the sensor of réflex digital. Thus it has assured it a Taiwanese company in a congress of biotechnology celebrated in Taipei, when talking about to a bacterium able to indeed feed - on dust and dirt.
Writing. - A bacterium could in the mid term revolutionize the market of réflex digital. This one is the triunfalista message sent by the Taiwanese company BioTechCleaning Corp, that assures to have discovered the advantages that a microorganism would offer at the time of cleaning the sensors of the cameras of interchangeable objectives.
According to the spokesmen of this company/signature have explained during the closing of the biotechnology convention that during these days has been celebrated in Taipei, the discovery is based on the cleaning properties of a variant of the bacterium Escherichia Coli, baptized by their discoverers like Escherichia Porcarius Fagocitas.
Present in the human organism - they pointed a genetic modification has allowed to change the nutritional habits of this microorganism to obtain so he eliminates the dust and dirt that is accumulated in the digital sensors when changing the optical.
Although one is a project that was being developed a long time ago, now when the development is economically feasible, has been given to the popularización of the digital cameras réflex.
An observation that does not seem to go desencaminada, considering that, after the announcement and a brief public demonstration, the quotation of the actions of the company went off.
Results in a year
In spite of the advances and the success of the first tests, the people in charge of BioTechCleaning Corp have asked patience the users. Still it is necessary to determine - the amount of bacteria explained that will be to use in each type of sensor to assure the effectiveness the procedure.
A year is the term that has occurred to be able to take to the east practice revolutionary project. Without mentioning no concrete mark, the spokesmen have assured that they already are in conversations with different manufacturers from cameras réflex.
In fact, BioTechCleaning Corp has promised that it will do all the possible one so that the 28 of December of 2007 already are in the showcases the first SLR of the market with incorporated cleaning bacteria.

I get the feeling you wouldn't be able to use eclipse fluid to clean those sensors. ;-)
Guess we found an example were sterilization would actually cause something to get dirtier over time.

I wonder how this is supposed to work.
Do the bacteria eat the dirt and dust?
If so, what happens when they cr@p? Do they set up little bacterial latrines around the edge of the frame?
Do they fall off the sensor having gorged themselves on grime, to be stuck on adhesive pads, unable to eat any more until they lose enough weight to wiggle themselves free of the adhesive and feast on sensor dirt once more?
Do they just continue to engorge themselves until they explode, spreading the contents of their extended gut over the sensor again as a fine film for their offspring to clear up?
Do they have a favourite flavour of dirt - perhaps some of them prefer a bacterial version of McDonalds? Their ancestors were probably cultured in McDonalds in the first place, so it seems likely.
Maybe they don't eat the dirt and dust at all, they just sweep it around or roll it up in a ball like a dung beetle until the ball is so big it falls off the sensor and bounces out of the camera through the lens mount. That's probably why Canon didn't bother to seal the 5D - they have been planning for this all along.
Will we be able to buy E-coli infected wands for only $200 a time with which we can infect our dirty sensors? Just leave the camera in a warm room for a couple of hours and then gently tap it for all of the dust and dead bacteria to fall out on the floor.
I wonder if they could be spread on normal glass - could be good for keeping the windows clean. Heck, they could keep the whole house clean!
Maybe this would be a better solution:

Light activated, it would clean the sensor with every exposure!

I don't know if it is a joke article or not. And my picture posted previously is mostly for fun.
Seriously though I have a hard time thinking that I would use anything on my sensor that was derived from E-coli especially with all the outbrakes lately.

When they are done with your camera, you open your camera, allowing the bacteria to enter your house and you let them eat all dust in the house. Great invention! Where can I buy shares?

Sorry for the mini-rant but it's a pet peeve of mine when people characterize a specific species of bacteria as dangerous based on what a couple strains do.
In fact right now you probably have dozens of E coli strains residing in your intestines that are beneficial to you. They compete well against the serotypes that are harmful and live in your intestines. The competition for nutrients prevents the harmful strains from making you sick.

Thank you for you response. Biology was never my strong suit. Though I did enjoy physics in high school and college.
If something like this does come to market and is proven safe and effective I will probaly get it but I would let others be guinne pigs first.
As you can see from my pic of my child above I am not ultra anal about hygene.
Before I had I kids I couldn't imagine letting my child do this as I might think that he would get sick, But after I have seen him eat about a hundred cheerios off of the carpet and not get sick I don't worry about it that much.

getting really OT now, but I'm glad you're not overly anal about hygiene when it comes to your kids - it's actually healthier for kids to get dirty once in a while!
One of the theories on why allergies are on the rise in the US is that parents keep their kids far too sterile. The immune system at a young age expects to see lots of antigens to fight and when they don't the get "bored" and target things that are perfectly harmless like peanuts.

I remember seeing an article a couple of years back about how over perscribing antibiotics to children actually creates an immunity to them and later on when they are bigger the antibiotics are far less effective.
The health department sends out flyers every couple of months and I remember reading in there that kids under 2 shouldn't be fed peanut or derivatives there of. Neither my wife are alergic to peanuts and my kids love peanut butter. Maybe it is because of our dirty living. hehe.
Once again thanks for the info.

Antibiotics over-prescribing is a huge problem that spans multiple industries. (sorry, this is another thing I tend to rant about)
The main concern is that whenever antibiotics are used, whatever bacteria is around gets a chance to develop an immunity to it. So-called super bacteria have immunities to all known antibiotics. (fortunately in most cases the "good" bacteria in your intestines keeps you safe - all the super bacteria live in the large intestine also. Super-bugs are mostly a problem with people on wide-spectrum antibiotics because they have a immune deficiency - often from chemotherapy)
"Growth hormone" that you might hear about every once in a while is not a hormone at all. It's a cocktail of antibiotics! The livestock industry discovered that if you feed animals lots of antibiotics they tend to grow bigger and fatter. Trace amounts of antibiotics makes it into the food you buy at the grocery store too. That means lots of bacteria is exposed to antibiotics and are given a chance to become immune.
