Application of fertilizers such as urea, diammonium phosphate (DAP) and muriate of potash in soil adversely affected the spore germination of Arthrobotrys dactyloides. Amendment of soil with urea at the concentrations of 1.0%, 0.5% and 0.1% completely inhibited spore germination and direct trap formation on the conidium, whereas muriate of potash delayed and reduced the spore germination even a...

At. Most bacteriologists held that the old Voges?SKauer's test (1898) was not a satisfactory test for the differentiation of the coli-serogenes group of organisms. During carbohydrate fermentation by the aerogenes group of bacilli, acetoin (acetylmethyl carbinol) is formed, and this is detected by caustic potash and peptone. Acetoin is oxidized to diacetyl, and this reacts with caustic potash a...

plaint. For, no sooner is it known that the doctor has pronounced some old gentleman to be suffering from a carbuncle, than the friends of the latter would assuredly hint at haviug his " affairs set in order." Statistics, however, do not show the apprehension to be well grounded, and neither have I in my small experience observed the mortality, amongst those who have suffered from it, to be so ...

Perianth development is specifically disrupted in mutants of the PETAL LOSS (PTL) gene, particularly petal initiation and orientation. We have cloned PTL and show that it encodes a plant-specific trihelix transcription factor, one of a family previously known only as regulators of light-controlled genes. PTL transcripts were detected in the early-developing flower, in four zones between the ini...

Introduction: Potash refers to the various naturally occurring water-soluble compounds of potassium used as a traditional food additive in Nigeria. Several health warnings have highlighted deleterious effect their consumption.
 Aim: The present study is aimed at evaluating effects graded doses potash consumption on haematological and hepatorenal indices using Wistar rat models.
