In samples from the Vostok ice core, almost three miles down, Christner isolated a bacterium that produces a protein that may well help the organism to survive, in part by altering the freezing and recrystallizing of the nearby ice—directing the potentially destructive processes away from the organism.

There are two ways to make refinery brown sugars: redissolving the raw sugar in a syrup of some kind and then recrystallizing it, so that it retains some of the syrup on its crystal surfaces; or refining the raw sugar all the way to pure white sugar, and then coating or “painting” its surfaces with a thin film of syrup or molasses.

By recrystallizing the gold salt six times from boiling water, the salt of hyoscyamine, which melts at from 316° F. to 323° F., crystallizes our first, and by the successive evaporation of the mother liquor at last obtain the pure gold salt of atropine, which melts at 275° F. to 280° F.
