Original sentence: June Lascelles was born in 1924 and grew up in Sydney.She served on the editorial boards of the Journal of Bacteriology, the Journal of General Microbiology and the Archives of Microbiology.She worked at dispelling the previously-thought rule that anaerobes do not have cytochromes, and the provision of a soluble β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, which allowed Krebs' group to devise a now widely-used assay for ketone bodies.Van Niel was legendary in his knowledge of microorganism biology, and this experience afforded Lascelles a great deal, especially the ability to study more exotic bacterial organisms
Edited sentence: June Lascelles was born 23 January 1924 and grew up in Sydney.She also served on the editorial boards of the Journal of Bacteriology, the Journal of General Microbiology and the Archives of Microbiology.She is best remembered for her generosity to young scientists, being approachable and giving wise council.She was a private and modest woman, but always forthright and plain speaking.The work she did during this period contributed to several impressive discoveries such as dispelling the previously-thought rule that anaerobes do not have cytochromes, and the provision of a soluble β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, which allowed Krebs' group to devise a now widely-used assay for ketone bodies.Van Niel was legendary in his knowledge of microorganism biology, and this experience afforded Lascelles a great many experiences; especially the ability to study more exotic bacterial organisms
