Randy commented:
Homogenization may be useful well in advance of a trial,
though, if one wants to ensure that all colonies contain a background level
of some inoculum, such as nosema.
I agree, and nothing is absolute - I may opt to adjust a method according
to the criteria and objective of the trial. However, if possible, I avoid
homogenization - equalization. Jerry
