Among the many voices praising this development, the cry of the few dissenters goes almost unheard. But, setting aside the reactionaries to whom change is anathema, the skeptics have something significant to say.

Bacteriologist Georg Henneberg, head of Berlin's famed Robert Koch Institute, does not doubt that Dombrowski extracted living bacteria from the interior of solid blocks of Zechstein salt-though there is still a slim possibility that the salt was contaminated relatively recently by bacteria...
