This brings NJ one step closer to being the second state in the US (and the world) to have a symbolic microbe.This action sequence shows me (seated) casting the vote for Assemblywoman Annette Quijano (standing) in the Assembly Chamber. Wow, that was cool, and an honor! ASW Quijano was the principal sponsor in the Assembly. The vote was 76 to zero.Strep griseus produces streptomycin, the first broad spectrum antibiotic and the first significant antibiotic found in America. It was discovered in 1943 in New Brunswick, NJTalk about pressure “Don’t press the red button!”Please read my amazing microbiology book: https://tinyurl.com/Warhol-Small-GuideMore info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_microbe -- source link
