+  * good recipes for stains?
+  * GFP and/or Luciferase?
+  * can we determine vitamin content of fermentations? what increases/inhibits vitamins?
+  * which Lactobacillus are able to produce vitamin C (see: L-ascorbate biosynthesis I,  L-ascorbate biosynthesis II)?
+  * which microorganisms can be chosen to increase vitamin production or production of specific amino acids
+  * what sort of things can be done in a 'kitchen lab' and what needs more specialised analytic equipment?
+  * good reference for korean techniques?
+  * "How can we reboot the ascorbate synthesis pathway in humans?"
