-The [[Upjohn]] pharmaceutical company was started by William Erastus Upjohn in 1885 and was a research and industry pillar in Kalamazoo until its merger with the Swedish company [[Pharmacia]] in 1995. The hybrid company was bought by [[Pfizer]] in 2003.  +

-In 1952 two Upjohn biochemists, Dury Peterson and Herb Murray announced that they were able to introduce this crucial oxygen atom by fermentation of the [[steroid progesterone]] with the mold Aspergillus nigercans. Over the next several years a group of chemists headed by John Hogg developed a process for preparing cortisone from the soybean steroid stigmasterol. The microbiological oxygenation is a key step in this process. [[Monsanto]] was part of the acquisition and divesting scheme at Pfiser and ties to the soy interest.  +
