P.S. He states the case for the "evolution" of bacteria to become anti-biotic resistant. This evolution has been proven to be untrue. Specific bacteria strains have ALWAYS been resistant to antibiotics. It is now that we are finding that the "weak" bacteria were killed off long ago in industrialized countries. In third world countries where people rarely get medical attention, penicillin and streptomycin work fine on infections.

I don't have any data in front of me regarding bacterial evolution or his ideas on it. This isn't about his expertise or lack of it. It concerns his requirements for students seeking his approval for recommendation.

Let me contradict you from direct experience. In an undergraduate biology lab I took 30 years ago, we exposed Bacillus subtilis ( I think) to a mutagen. We then plated it out on a penicillin agar. Colonies of penicllin-resistant bacteria grew on the agar. Without the mutagen, no colonies developed. So why did the strains of resistant bacteria only appear when they were mutated?
