Hypoxylon pulicicidum strain MF5954 (ATCC 74245) (formerly classified as Nodulisporium sp.) is a filamentous fungal species known for its production of the secondary metabolite nodulisporic acid A. We present here the 41.5-Mb draft genome sequence for this organism.

The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology of injuries from exercise not involving equipment among children 18 and under. Methods included a retrospective review of data for children birth to 18 years old from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance (NEISS) system of the US consumer Product Safety Commission for the years 2005-2009. A total of 5093 cases were identified an...

This study supports the main characteristics of a new genus 'Pygmaiobacter' and a new species 'Pygmaiobacter massiliensis' strain Marseille-P3336 (CSUR P3336); that was isolated from a stool sample of a healthy 47-year-old Pygmy woman. The Institut Fédératif de Recherche ethics committee, gave approval for this study under the number 09-022. Samples were collected for microbial content descript...

The aim of this study was to show the proportion of workplace accidents related to materials transfer and to decide whether they were more serious than other kinds of workplace accidents. The research material for this study were statistics and data, available in Finland, regarding workplace accidents and fatal accidents. Twenty-five percent of studied fatal accidents were related to materials ...

conclusions although carbohydrate fermentation patterns specified these three isolates as b. infantis, b. bifidum, and b. longum, the molecular results did not confirm b. longum, which is still also controversial in the literature. overall, our results demonstrated that kashk-e zard is a rich potential source of probiotic bacteria and further investigations should be undertaken. results twelve ...

density of rhizobium population in faba bean (vicia faba l.) fields of wollo area (asketema, gashana, kotem, major and sekota) northern ethiopia was studied. the highest population of rhizobia was found at major and the least at sekota regions. the native rhizobial strains isolated from the northern parts of the country tolerated a higher salt concentration (5% nacl) than the exotic rhizobial s...
