The first reference I can see to HL-5 is in the Cocucci and Sussman 1970 paper, they simply describe a liquid medium "referred to hereafter a (sic) HL-5"
Was there someone in the Sussman lab with initials HL?

I am in Dicty intro teaching mode and wondered if anyone knew who coined the term HL5 (the first reference I have found so far called it HL/5) and what the HL stands for?  Bonus points for inaccurate but humorous answers.  Cheers- Dave
