rRT)FOT?D M ATT TRTBUNT!. TVrEDFORD. OREHON-. FRIDAY. REPTFrBER 11. 1936. STUDY BEING MADE OF OCEAN WATER AS GERM KILLER LA JOLLA, Cal. (UP) The ocean Ib Hot only a powerful antiseptic, but Ib the biggest and perhaps the bent germ killer In the world, according to the latest discoveries of Claude E. Zobell. rf the staff of the Scrlppa Institu tion of Oceanography. ZobeU's report on hU findings is How being studied by the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine In n effort to ascertain Just what It Is In sea water that gives It Its antisep tic qualities. He has demonstrated that bacteria of a public health In terest cannot survive long In sea water. On the other hand, It has been found that marlno bacteria have a certain chance of survival. Among the various deductions that ! have been made as to the possible antiseptic qualities of sea water Is the presence of predacious protozoa, a possible lack of nutrients or the leth al effect of sunlight. One thing Zobell declares to be cer tain Is that there Is something In sea water besides Its salts which has a potent bactericidal effect. Experiments already made have de monstrated that raw sea water hu a greater health potency from its bac tericidal aspect than cither the heat ed or filtered water. Synthetic sea water also was tested, with the result that It showed less bactericidal potency than natural ocean water. Officials of the Institute are confi dent that It will be possible eventual ly to identify the specific antiseptic element of sea water and possibly ex tract It for commercial or sanitary purposes. lilue Mule llxprnslve CHXCO.
