[edit] Cleanup
It might be helpful to compare gnotobiotic animal before and after cleanup; this needs basically the same work. I'd do it myself if I had time and motivation now; hopefully someone will get to it, otherwise I may come back and finish. -- Perey 13:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- I was too lazy to compare with gnobiotic, but maybe I'll come back to that article as well in the near future. In the meantime, I think this stub is in a lot better shape. ju66l3r 19:39, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Gnotobiotic is not the same as germ free. Gnoto comes from "to know". so a Gnotobiotic animal is one in which we know what microbes are in the animal as opposed to the wild type which has unknown or undefined microbes --Cswilcox 18:28, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
