If the bottom is sandy, most of the odor will dissolve in the water; if the bot- tom is clay, the odoriferous substance will be retained and will accumu- late. Odoriferous substances may also be produced by actinomycetes on caqao beans (55), milk (120), and other foodstuffs, rendering them inferior in quality or totally unsuitable for human Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Waksman, Selman A.
