With his wife Bertha Julie [...] Using the findings of Eijkman’s study, scientists were able to isolate a nutrient called thiamin, also known as vitamin B1. Eijkman had, through his research, formed the basis for understanding the role [...] new field of medicine called bacteriology.

About three [...] Inside the vessel there was an axis with brass paddles to mix the water. Additionally, there were also fixed paddles that helped to produce a larger friction in the water – meanwhile he could use weights
