...will use this by-product for the production of Torula utilis. A fortnight ago a special plane from London flew the British yeast-food culture to Capetown where a pilot-plant is now operating experimentally. Before big-scale production begins, the South African Government intends consulting the St. Louis geneticist, Dr. Carl Lindegren, on the subject of flavours...
...that idea did occur to a young research geneticist named Carl Lindegren at St. Louis' Washington University. He thought of developing yeast in a variety of flavors resembling staple food tastes. He and Mrs. Lindegren began to crossbreed yeast cells...
...students of Nobel Prize Geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan at Caltech, the Lindegrens had long crossbred fruit flies, which breed a new generation every three weeks. Yeast can produce a new generation in as little as 20 minutes. Yeast cells, usually having no sex, reproduce simply by splitting in two. Under certain conditions yeast develops sexual characteristics and, like other plants, reproduces by means of spores. The Lindegrens cultivated yeast with spores, opened the spore sacs and cross-fertilized them, in this way bred thousands of new varieties of yeast. Finally, they got some to the king's taste...
