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.
In terms of using borax and boric acid as a pesticide, boric acid is labeled for use as a pesticide, while borax is labeled for use in laundry. But because of the high concentration of borax (the mineral) in borax (the product), it seems to work just as well as boric acid when used in this sugar mixture.irections: For both the liquid and solid ant baits, you want to mix the borax or boric acid into the sugary bait in a 1 to 3 ratio. I used maple syrup for the liquid bait, but honey would work just as well. Microwave the syrup (I used 3/4 C) for a few seconds until warm.
