[DIYbio] Hard-to-find paper request

Hi Everyone,
I've been hunting for Jacques Monod's PhD thesis paper from 1942 titled "Researches sur la croissance des cultures bacteriennes". As you may have guessed its in French and I can't read French but will look for friends who speak the language and trade translation time for a pint or two. So far all my leads found catalog numbers to libraries where the physical print is stored. Luckily there is a copy in off-site storage at the New York Public Library and I'll go there and scan it myself if worst comes to worst. Will upload the paper to the list and host it somewhere for all to enjoy.

I've been conducting some experiments involving diauxic shifts or "diauxie" for you Frenchies on the list and this is considered by many to be THE seminal paper regarding the phenomenon. All I am really after is the media he used in his sorbitol curves. I know the most prominent diauxic shift is seen on sorbitol with a few others of which lactose is THE classic example but the base media in which all this magic happened is no where to be found. I know its not M9 (also made by him) because this paper precedes M9 minimal media by a decade and change (Pardee, Jacob, Monod 1959). The reference list from his thesis would be just as interesting as well. Any help would be much appreciated. Its going toward an upcoming publication we are submitting to PLoS this fall. Thanks!
