...nearly two decades, my colleagues and I have, with limited funds, conducted problem-solving and fundamental studies on the bacteria used in the manufacture of various foods. Special attention has been given to the lactic-acid bacteria, a group of organisms that have been useful to man for thousands of years in preserving foods by natural fermentation...
...fermentation industry has benefited from this work; and our present study of sourdough lactic-acid bacteria, solicited not by us but by the USDA, is designed to assist the baking industry...
...origin of the wine's restorative power is being called into question: Ferrari wine, charged the prosecution, is artificial. Police cited a variety of recipes for making such concoctions, listing such unlikely ingredients as tar acid, ammonia, glycerin, zinc sulphate, seaweed, banana paste, citric acid, lactic acid, a pungent liquid dredged from the bottom of banana boats, and ox's blood. The prosecution also said that illegal chemical substances and hidden vats of artificial wine were seized at the Ferrari plants...
...breathing" through its mother's blood, then is catapulted into an air-breathing world. Dr. L. Stanley James, of Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons, has tested newborn babies' blood. It contains chemicals showing that muscles were burning up starch and turning it into lactic acid during birth. If a birth takes unusually long, the concentration of lactic acid increases; it is a measure of how severely the baby's life has been threatened by oxygen starvation...
...heart did it. Now, in the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. White and Dr. James H. Currens report what they found after DeMar died. They had good bases for comparison. Studied by physiologists in 1928 and 1953, DeMar had shown only a small rise in circulating lactic acid and a small drop in carbonic acid after exercise as compared with a healthy man who was not in training. These muscle-exhaustion measurements suggested a rich blood supply, and, as expected, Runner DeMar's heart turned out to be unusually large and muscular...
