Powerful Antibiotic
Isolated From Spiders
New Departure in Hunt for
Diseose-Fighting Drugs
By Thomos R. Henry

A Uruguayan biologist has isolated
from several species of spiders an ap-
parently powerful antibiotic against
the microscopic diease-causing plants.
bacteria, and microscopic animals. pro-
tozoa.
This has been accomplished under a
Rockefeller Foundation grant at the
Research Institute of Biological Sciences
at Montevideo, according to the
foundations annual report.
The discovery by Dr. Clemente Estable
apparently represents a radically new
departure in the search, now being
carried on all over the world. for new
nature-produced drugs to com ba t
various infectious diseases. The search
has been directed chiefly at fungi.
especially those which are normal
habitants of the soil. For the first
time an antibiotic-supposedly of the
class of penicillin or streptomycin-ha
been obtained from one of the higher
animals. Spiders. of course, rank very
high in the scale of life compared to
mouldS.
The tests have been conducted
against bacteria and protozoa in cul-
ture preparations. Apparently the new
material has not been tested against
diseases in living animals. DR.. Estable
now is trying to establish its chemical
composition.

"parthenogenesis" in higher animals
have just been reported by Depart
ment of Agriculture scientists.
The phenomenon is that of virgin
birth, except that there have been no
actual births. Some of the embryos,
however. have apparently developed
normally, but not to the point of birth.
Apparently, report Drs. M. w. Oh
sen and S. J. Marsden of the Bureau
of Animal Husbandry, the condition
is quite common in turkeys. They
found retarded embryos and embryonic
membranes in Is per cent of the eggs
laid by turkey hens three to six
months after isolation from male birds.
Some have been kept from all contact
with mature male turkeys all their
lives.
May Aid Cancer Fight.
The discovery is particularly impor-
tant because of the bearing 1t may
have on human cancer.
Natural parthenogenesis. says De-
partment of Agriculture report, is COM
mon in the lower animals-particu-
larly insects. Embryo development in
some Of these lower animals can be
induced by chemical or mechanical
means. When infertile frog eggs are
pricked with needle some will start
development and a few will produce
tadpoles. The situation is quite differ
ent. however. among birds and NAM
mails.
Females Of some animals, however,
have produced fertile eggs long after
mating. Sperm cells live inside the
turkey hen much longer than in most
birds, and chicks have been Matched
from turkey eggs laid so days after
mating. But this record is greatly
surpassed in the present cases. Drs.
Olsen and Marsden have made sure
by extensive precautions that there
was no possibility of delayed fertiliza-
ton.
The parthenogenic development, they
explain, is slow in starting and usually
continues for only a few days. EN-
bryoS in normal fertiliZed eggs show
up 1S to "a hours after they are put
in an incubator.
In about SO per cent of the cases
the cell development Of the partheno-
genie embryoS is unorganized and
produces simply a translucent mem
brane that spreads to cover all the
egg yolk. That is, growth doesn't pro-
gress towards forming baby turkey
in most instances.
The finding has some slight practical
significance for turkey growers, it is
pointed out. 1t explains why some
apparently fertile eggs never hatch.
The major significance, however, is
the light that may be thrown on the
origin Of cancer, also an unorganized
cell growth and possibly much the
same sort Of phenomenon.

Blood Cell Study.

Development of new method for
studying blood cells under Rockefeller
Foundation grant to Dr. Robert Barer
of oxford University also is announced
in the report. BY this method 1t has
proved possible to determine the hemo-
globin concentration in individual red
corpuscleS. Previously the only avail
able figure was a mean derived from
millions of cells. DR.. Barer now can
estimate the range of concentrations
present in the cells of normal indi-
viduals, as we'll as those suffering with
various diseases.
He also is working on technique to
distinguish dead or abnormal red cells
from healthy ones. which should have
an important application in determin-
ing the percentage of cells in stored
blood which are likely to survive trans
fusion.
