...serious new challenges besetting the medical profession is that certain strains of Staphylococcus bacteria are: a) Causing nervous disorders...
...University scientist has found that a one-celled green plant, an alga, duplicates its transmitters of genetic information (DNA) in the same way as bacteria. This discovery of Noboru Sueoka, research fellow in Biology, reinforces the theory that at the fundamental level of biochemistry, most living processes are the same...
...carried the process a step farther. When he heated a mixture of amino acids with polyphosphoric acid as a catalyst, he got big molecules with many of the properties of proteins, i.e., they have similar chemical characteristics, are digested by natural enzymes and are eaten greedily by bacteria...
When Dr. Fox dissolved his semi-proteins in hot water and let the solution cool, billions of microscopic spheres separated out of each gram. The spheres were about the same size as cocci (primitive bacteria), and they seemed to be sheathed with thin membranes much as bacterial cells are. Dr. Fox does not claim that his spheres are "alive," but he thinks his experiment demonstrates one possible means by which nonliving chemicals in the earth's primitive ocean may have been gathered together into cell-like units of life...
From the NASA base at Wallops Island, Va., a Little Joe rocket (a cluster of eight solid-fuel rockets) took off with a full-scale astronaut capsule perched on nose. No man was inside it, only a rhesus monkey named Sam and a collection of meal worms, bacteria, molds and other biological samples. Strapped to a kind of cocoon lined with plastic foam sat Sam the monkey, riding in astronaut's "chair." Sam and cocoon were enclosed in an inner, air-conditioned " logical package," thick with straps, wi and instruments to test Sam's reactions...
