Fusarins are a class of mycotoxins of the polyketide family produced by different Fusarium species, including the gibberellin-producing fungus Fusarium fujikuroi. Based on sequence comparisons between polyketide synthase (PKS) enzymes for fusarin production in other Fusarium strains, we have identified the F. fujikuroi orthologue, called fusA. The participation of fusA in fusarin biosynthesis w...

flowers, gay curtains hide the marks on the windowsills where the bars used to be. I climb the stairs and go along the endless corridors with the cell-like bedrooms on one side and the open ward on the other. More visitors today, wives are going home for Bank Holiday and husbands have brought suitcases... Grandma holds up a baby to his mother: 'Hasn't he grown! You'll be home soon, Jean shuffle...

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of chlorine dioxide gas for environmental decontamination of Syphacia spp. ova. We collected Syphacia ova by perianal cellophane tape impression of pinworm-infected mice. Tapes with attached ova were exposed to chlorine dioxide gas for 1, 2, 3, or 4 h. After gas exposure, ova were incubated in hatching medium for 6 h to promote hatching. For...

The concentration of masses of pathogenic bacteria can be simplified by growing them in a confined environment with diffusional access to a reservoir of nutrients. Culturing them on an agar or membrane surface accomplishes this; however, the total cell yield often is low, the cells probably are not physiologically uniform, and difficulty may occur in dislodging them. The concentration of cells ...

In preceding communications t, 2 we were led to the conclusion that the electrochemical activity of collodion membranes, as manifested by concentration potentials, etc., is due principally to acidic impurities. Accordingly, different brands of collodion differ widely as to their activity, the purer brands being less active. The impure (but active) foreign brands of collodion, heretofore general...
