...experiment was carried out using two types of chemical tests—Luria broth plus ampicillin (an antibiotic), and YEPD (yeast extract with peptone and dextrose)—and four petri dishes: one sample for each foot (for comparative purposes) and two control dishes. After one week’s incubation, the two sample dishes blossomed with colorful fungi—savory reds and yellows of yeasts, lovely whitish blobs of a penicillin species, green spots of trichoderma and delightful traces of aspergillus—but nothing out-of-the-ordinary for an outdoor statue. “These...
...yeast to the cooled liquid. The yeast will convert the sugars to alcohol. Fermentation time and temperature can vary. Ferment ales for five days and lagers for four to eight weeks...

...proteomics involves baker's yeast. Millennium uses mass spectroscopy--a way of producing unique signatures of proteins by tearing them apart and weighing the fragments--to detect drug targets rapidly. Its technology has won the company strong alliances with traditional drug firms, including a $450 million anti-inflammatory drug-development alliance with Aventis and a $465 million research agreement with Bayer. Millennium also has a $250 million partnership with Abbott Laboratories focused on metabolic diseases. Last month the pair announced that they were beginning clinical trials on a candidate drug against obesity...
