Cxxxvii. the Chemistry of the White Rots of Wood. I. the Effect on Wood Substance of Polystictus Versicolor (linn.) Fr

INTRODUCTION. THE somewhat arbitrary classification of the wood decays caused by fungi into " brown " and " white " rots has in recent years been the subject of controversy, as it has been suggested that more accurate classification can be based on strictly chemical evidence regarding the effects of the various wood-rotting fungi on wood substance. So far as "brown" rots are concerned a suffici...

Relation of Temperature and Time to Carbon Dioxide Production and Growth in Continuously Aerated Malt-agar Cultures of Polystictus Versicolor.

In the present paper are reported results of an experimental study concerning the influence of temperature and length of incubation period on vegetative growth and carbon dioxide production in continuously aerated cultures of a strain of a wood-destroying fungus, Polystictus versicolor (Linn.) Fr., growing on malt-agar substrate in darkness. These results are preceded by a somewhat detailed sta...

The HST view of the FR I / FR II dichotomy ⋆

In order to explore how the FR I / FR II dichotomy is related to the nuclear properties of radio galaxies, we studied a complete sample of 26 nearby FR II radio galaxies using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images and compared them with a sample of FR I previously analyzed. FR I nuclei lie in the radio-optical luminosity plane along a tight linear correlation, which argues for a common synchrotro...

Uncommon presentations of tinea versicolor

Tinea versicolor (TV) is a common cutaneous fungal infection characterized by superficial scaling and a mild disturbance of skin pigmentation. It typically affects the chest, upper back, and shoulders. However, involvement of more unusual regions of the body such as the face and scalp, arms and legs, intertriginous sites, genitalia, areolae, and palms and soles has been reported. This report de...
