Novel methylotrophic bacteria isolated from the River Thames (London, UK).

Enrichment and elective culture for methylotrophs from sediment of the River Thames in central London yielded a diversity of pure cultures representing several genera of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, which were mainly of organisms not generally regarded as typically methylotrophic. Substrates leading to successful isolations included methanol, monomethylamine, dimethylamine, trimeth...

Modelling metaldehyde in catchments: a River Thames case-study.

The application of metaldehyde to agricultural catchment areas to control slugs and snails has caused severe problems for drinking water supply in recent years. In the River Thames catchment, metaldehyde has been detected at levels well above the EU and UK drinking water standards of 0.1 μg l-1 at many sites across the catchment between 2008 and 2015. Metaldehyde is applied in autumn and winter...

Is European catfish Silurus glanis really becoming more abundant in the River Thames?

An increased number of reports (by anglers, in the angling press) of European (wels) catfish Silurus glanis occurrences in the River Thames (England) has led to the perception that the species has become more abundant in that river. If proved true, then this would have ramifications for non-native species policy and practice. To assess catfish density, a total of 256 rod hours of specialized an...

Histophysiology' provided a concise and entertaining guide to the puzzles of this strange nucleus. Currently I am focused on the thalamus and sensory mechanisms; Lord Adrian's short book 'The Basis of Sensation' on sensory mechanisms, published in 1928, says nothing about the thalamus, but is a wonderful example of clear thought about, and a lucid presentation of, a difficult subject. What is t...
