Mother Noella Marcellino, O.S.B., (born Martha A. Marcellino; June 30, 1951)〔''U.S. Public Records Index'' Vol 2 (Provo, UT: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc.), 2010.〕 is an American Benedictine nun who has earned a doctorate in microbiology from the University of Connecticut. Studying fungi in France on a Fulbright Scholarship, she concentrated on the positive effects of decay and putrefaction as well as the odors and flavors of cheese. ==Biography== The Archbishop of Hartford, John Whealon, gave permission for members of the cloistered community of Benedictine nuns of Abbey of Regina Laudis to embark on a pilgrimage for higher education.〔() University of Connecticut Alumni Magazine, Volume 6, Number 2 - Summer 2005, by Karen A. Singer, "Pursuing a Higher Education", accessed 01018-2009〕 In December 1986, Marcellino and three other nuns applied and were accepted into courses for Agricultural Science at the University of Connecticut.〔 In 1987 the group began a program in scholarship that resulted in all receiving doctoral degrees; Marcellino's was in molecular and cell biology/microbiology.〔 She began with introductory sciences courses at The University of Connecticut’s campus in Waterbury, but it was during a visit by UCONN organic chemistry professor Nina Stein to the abbey’s cheese cellar, that the professor suggested that she focus her research on the microbiology of cheese ripening.〔 She won a Fulbright scholarship〔 (fulbrightonline.com ), SISTER NOELLA MARCELLINO - Fulbright U.S. Student Fellow 1994-1995, accessed 01-18-2009〕 to France to collect and examine native strains of fungi, with an emphasis on ''Geotrichum candidum'',〔(N. Marcellino et al. (Oct. 2001) "Diversity of ''Geotrichum candidum'' Strains Isolated from Traditional Cheesemaking Fabrications in France", ''Applied and Environmental Microbiology'', volume 67, #10, pp. 4752–59 )〕 from traditional cheese caves and stayed an additional three years, analyzing the samples on a grant from the French government.〔 Mother Noella used to not be able to eat cheese, except for the occasional chunk of smoked cheddar and had been making cheese in a wooden whiskey barrel since 1977. She is a member of the Abbey of Regina Laudis. She now frequently advises the United States cheese industry and she is a speaker and judge at competitions. Her brother is John "Jocko" Marcellino, founding member and drummer with Sha Na Na. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Noella Marcellino」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
