== Soil samples collected by American soldiers ==

The article makes a claim that soil samples were collected by American soldiers and from these aureomycin was isolated. While aureomycin was indeed found from a soil sample, it was actually from a soil sample sent to ] from another scientist in Missouri<ref>http://umcspace.missouri.edu/historic/buildings/Sanborn/files/aueromycin.pdf</ref>.
{{reflist}}

In the absence of any information that supports it, I suggest removing or editing this line:
<blockquote>This discovery was made as a result of the largest distributed scientific experiment ever performed to that date, when American soldiers who had fought all over the world were instructed at the end of WWII to collect soil samples from wherever they were, and bring the samples back for screening at Lederle Laboratories for possible anti-bacterial agents produced by natural soil fungi.</blockquote>

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Yellapragada Subbarow/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Please change the spelling

the correct spelling is Dr.Yellapragada Subbarao

His work is worth Nobel prize in Medicine.

  1. According to the link sourced in the article http://medind.nic.in/jac/t01/i1/jact01i1c1.shtml which is from Journal of Indian Academy of Medicine the correct name is Subbarow at least the name with which he worked so hard in America. So I feel the correct name is Subbarow and it should be changed back to that. Drankush (talk) 11:19, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

No, the correct spelling of his name is not Yellapragada Subbarao. He chose to spell it Yellapragada Subbarow, and he published his papers using that spelling. It is not appropriate to claim that because other people spell their names Subbarao, that this amazing scientist did that too. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 21:05, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Merge

There are currently duplicate pages. This one and then this one. This page is of a much higher quality so I suggest we merge the second page into this one. DaltonCastle (talk) 23:53, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Agree. That other page has a title that a reader is unlikely to find, and no other pages point to it, so a redirect from that title would not be needed. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 21:55, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Importance

Dr. Subbarow was a very important figure with numerous accomplishments. This article really should be fleshed out. There is a good deal of additional information available even in the cited references.Bill (talk) 03:10, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
