BY the Associated Press., | EUGENE, Oreg., ‘April 15.—Discov~ [ ery of an affinity between the growing heart of yeast and high voltage electric- ity is announced at the University of Oregon. ‘This heart is something which causes veast to grow, but instead of being a simple snbstance it is composed of vari- | ous little-known parts which sclentists call “bios” fractions. . A 10,000-volt electric current causes these growth factors to separate from the yeast and from each other, and even goes so far as to gather them in| different tubes ready for study. Analysis of the bios fractions may give ce another clue to the now un- solved riddle of what causes growth of any Kind. At present it is suspected that microscopic yeast plants have a common growth factor with trees, hors and men—in short, that discovery of what underlies the growth prineipie of one kind of living ¢.1l may open the way to understanding them all. The “shocking” method of separating the yeact growth fractions was discov- ered by Roger J. Willlams, profescor of chemistry, and John Turesdail, research assistant. The yeast industry, it is also announced last night, has furnished money for further research.
