So, how do we go from bacterial enzymes to 'stone-washed' jeans? Well, let's take a look at the steps involved in the cloning process. First, the scientist interested in cloning will isolate two kinds of DNA. One is the gene that has the DNA that will be cloned, and the other is a bacterial plasmid that will act as the carrier of the cloning DNA.
Before you use it, though, make sure you know all the facts. Borax, which is also known as Boric Acid and is sold under the brand name 20 Mule Team, is often touted as safe and natural. While it is a naturally occurring mineral, that doesn't mean it is without dangers. Borax is often recommended as a safe pesticide, fungicide and cleaner, but it is officially classified as a poison. Government sites recommend that people who work with Borax use gloves and handle it with caution.
Borax, of the mule team variety, is sodium tetraborate or sodium borate (to get all official for a second) and NOT boric acid (hydrogen borate), which is a common misconception on the interwebs apparently.odium Tetraborate (hereafter referred to as Borax) is a salt of boric acid but it is not chemically the same as boric acid. If youâve read an article claiming borax is dangerous that goes on about the dangers of boric acid or says they are the same thing, I would not consider that article credible.
