The Story of Germ Life

The Story of Germ Life

by H. W. Conn

Since the first edition of this book was published the popular idea of bacteria to which attention was drawn in the original preface has undergone considerable modification. Experimental medicine has added constantly to the list of diseases caused by bacterial organisms, and the general public has been educated to an adequate conception of the impo..

The Elements of Bacteriological Technique

The Elements of Bacteriological Technique

by J. W. H. Eyre

Bacteriology is essentially a practical study, and even the elements of its technique can only be taught by personal instruction in the laboratory. This is a self-evident proposition that needs no emphasis, yet I venture to believe that the former collection of tried and proved methods has already been of some utility, not only to the student in th..

Dairy Disagreeables Busy the Bacteriologists

by F. H. Hall

The flavor of good milk and cream, then, is an inherent quality due to the normal constituents of the milk; the flavors of butter, both good and bad, except that due to the fat and to odors absorbed by the milk, are held to be the result of bacterial action; the fundamental flavors of cheese are probably due to chemical decomposition, started by un..
