The fat globules of milk reduce the conductivity by occupying volume and by impeding the mobility of ions. Thus the conductivity of whole milk is less than that of skim milk by about 10%, and that of cream varies with the fat content (Gerber 1927 Muller 1931 Prentice 1962). Homogenization of milk does not measurably influence conductivity (Prentice 1962). The conductivity of whey and ultrafiltrate is slightly greater than that of skim milk (Schulz 1956 Schulz and Sydow 1957). A possible relationship between the electrical conductivity and physical stability of evaporated milk and concentrated infant milk products has been reported (Hansson 1957). Samples of poor physical stability tended to have relatively low conductivity values compared to those of the more stable products.

Some corroboration for this view comes from the work of Curtin and Gerber (1952) on the acid-catalysed reactions of the isomeric diazobutenes. For the reactions with benzoic acid in ether solution the principal product isolated is in each case the unrearranged butenyl benzoate. This is consistent with the reasonable expectation that under these conditions a benzoate anion is specifically associated with the carbon atom from which the nitrogen is lost on formation of the carbonium ion.

Coral reef communities have also demonstrated the ability to take up suspended planktonic organic matter as a source of new carbon (Glynn, 1973 Johannes Gerber, 1974 Ayukai, 1995 Sebens etal., 1997 Fabricius etal., 1998 Ribes etal, 1998 Yahel etal., 1998). Reported rates of particulate carbon uptake are low (<40 mmol Cm-2 day-1) compared to rates of gross primary production and community respiration (Table 2.2), and have been demonstrated to be an unimportant source of carbon for some hard and soft coral communities (Ribes, 1998 submitted). However, the uptake of particulate organic matter may be an important source of food for some specific reef communities (Fabricius etal., 1998). 

The general population takes up germanium mainly from food, and the daily intake can vary between 0.4 and 3.5 mg (Schroeder and Balassa 1967, Swennen etal. 2000). Ysart etal. (1999) reported about a daily total dietary exposure of only 0.004 mg in the UK population. Values will depend on the provenance of food and potential industrial contaminants. Inhalation is a potential hazard of occupational exposure (Rods and Buchet 2001). Dust containing up to 7 mg m has been found in the production of Ge monocrystals (Gerber, 1988).

Geosmin is a sensory-active metabolite of Streptomyces, Cyanobacteria, as well as molds (Simpson and Lee, 1990) growing on or in the immediate proximity of cork. Geosmin, detected as the odor of cooked beet and/or freshly tilled soil, has a sensory threshold of 25 ng/L (ppt) (Amon et al., 1989). Although relatively stable in cork, geosmin decomposes in wine (Amon et al., 1989) to yield products which, reportedly, lack sensory properties (Gerber, 1979). Thus, contaminated cork may serve as a reservoir for transitory but potentially continuing extraction into wine.
