the usage and production of polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) was banned in argentina in2002, approximately twenty to thirty years later than in other countries. a total of 29 sediment samples (upto 14 m deep) were analyzed for a mix of seven individual pcbs in a time series for over more than one year in twelve selected locations, including harbors, recreational docks and several industrialized...

The attine ant system is a remarkable example of symbiosis. An antagonistic partner within this system is the fungal parasite Escovopsis, a genus specific to the fungal gardens of the Attini. Escovopsis parasitizes the Leucoagaricus symbiont that leaf-cutting ants (Acromyrmex, Atta) have been farming over the past 8-12 Myr. However, it has been a puzzle how Escovopsis reaches its host. During a...

four halotolerant fungal isolates originating from the saltwater lake urmia in iran were selected during a screening program for salt resistance and α-amylase activity. the isolates were identified based on sequencing the its region and a part of the β-tubulin gene, as penicillium chrysogenum (isolate u1; cbs 132820), fusarium incarnatum (isolate u2; cbs 132821), and penicillium polonicum (isol...
