IN the past 13 years there has been a notable increase in the number of reports of cases of ocular mycosis, a large proportion of which originate in North America (Haggerty and Zimmerman, 1958; Mikami and Stemmermann, 1958; Chick and Conant, 1962). The increase has apparently been associated with the increasing use of topical corticosteroids and wide-spectrum antibiotics (Hogan, Thygeson, and K...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to investigate the bacterial and fungal flora of dust deposits in a newly built pig grower finisher building. Viable bacterial counts and microbial species found in a barn which had never housed pigs were compared with those in a barn housing 144 pigs. METHODS The quantitative streak plate method was used to measure viable bacterial counts on nutrient ag...

A total of twenty endophytic fungi successfully isolated from Melastoma malabathricum (Senduduk) were examined for their ability to decolourise azo dyes: Congo red, Orange G, and Methyl red and an anthraquinone dye, Remazol Brilliant Blue R. Initial screening on the glucose minimal media agar plates amended with 200 mg L(-1) of each respective dye showed that only isolate MS8 was able to decolo...

The present study deals with production, extraction and purification of the intracellular and extracellular fungal uricase. The fungal flora will be isolated from soil were (Aspergillua niger, Rhizopus stolonifer, Penicillium chrysogenum and Fusarium moniliforme). Optimization of some nutritional and physical factors in the basal medium in order to intensify the production of extracellular and ...
