A consortium-GB containing two microorganisms Galactomyces geotrichum MTCC 1360 and Bacillus sp. VUS was able to degrade sulfurcontaining dye Brilliant Blue G, optimally at pH 9 and temperature at 50 8C. The ability of consortium-GB to work at higher temperature and pH ranges will help in using this consortium for removal of the dye from textile effluent. Malt extract, peptone and beef extract ...

Ob das auffallende Maximum der RBW des LETBereiches um 1360 MeV cm2 g~1 allein von der Ionisierungsdichte abhängt, bleibt noch zu überprüfen. In bisher veröffentlichten Versuchen13'32 sowie in den hier geschilderten, wurden LET-Werte etwa dieser Größe durch Po-a-Strahlen erzeugt. Die übrigen LET-Werte > 100 MeV cm2 g _ 1 wurden dagegen meist, wie in den hier beschriebenen Experimenten, durch Be...

Mutations in adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) protein is a major contributor to tumor initiation and progression in several tumor types. These mutations affect APC function in the Wnt-beta-catenin signaling and influence mitotic spindle anchoring to the cell cortex and orientation. Here we report that the mitotic anchoring and orientation function of APC is regulated by cyclin A/cdk2. Knockdown...

BACKGROUND The coronary risk in diabetes (CoRDia) trial (n = 211) compares the effectiveness of usual diabetes care with a self-management intervention (SMI), with and without personalised risk information (including genetics), on clinical and behavioural outcomes. Here we present an assessment of randomisation, the cardiac risk genotyping assay, and the genetic characteristics of the recruits....

Coordinate analysis of the multiple phase transitions in hexagonal YMnO(3) leads to the prediction of a previously unknown aristotype phase, with the resulting phase-transition sequence: P6(3)'cm'(e.g.) <--> P6(3)cm <--> P6(3)/mcm <--> P6(3)/mmc <--> P6/mmm. Below the Néel temperature T(N) approximately = 75 K, the structure is antiferromagnetic with the magnetic symmetry not yet determined. Ab...
