Paul J. Boyle, a graduate student in the Faculty, and Ralph Mitchell, professor of Applied Micro-Biology, discovered the phenomenon in Mitchell's laboratory at the Harvard Laboratory of Microbiological Ecology...
Boyle and Mitchell thought they had made a mistake when they originally discovered the phenomenon last summer. They were convinced all animals have micro-organisms in their digestive tracts, Boyle said...
They are studying the interactions between micro-organisms and marine invertebrates in order to find non-toxic means to control marine organisms which damage boats and docks, Boyle said...
...animal may have important implications for the Medical area because researchers need animals with bacteria-free guts in order to study colonization of digestive tracts by micro-organisms...
Unveiled in 1971, the one-chip CPU - or microprocessor - contained 2,250 transistors in an area barely a sixth of an inch long and an eighth of an inch wide. In computational power, the micro processor almost matched the monstrous ENIAC - the first fully electronic computer, completed in 1946 - and performed as well as an early 1960s IBM machine that cost $30,000 and required a CPU that alone was the size of a large desk. On his office wall, Hoff still displays Intel's original advertisement: "Announcing a new era of integrated electronics ... a microprogrammable computer...
