2. Salt solutions and milk given as a drench did not produce complete closure of the groove. However, when the animals were accustomed to sucking from a teat before weaning, any liquid suspension and also water, sucked from a bottle, passed entirely to the abomasum even in Iz-month-old sheep. 3. This technique may be useful when it is desirable to cause protein or other nutrients to by-pass fer...

This work investigated biostimulation and bioaugmentation as strategies for removing polyurethane (PU) waste in soil. Soil microcosms were biostimulated with the PU dispersion agent "Impranil" and/or yeast extract or were bioaugmented with PU-degrading fungi, and the degradation of subsequently buried PU was determined. Fungal communities in the soil and colonizing buried PU were enumerated on ...

Fröhlich, J. & K. D. Hyde (1995). Fungi from palms. XXI. Caudatispora palmicola gen. et sp. nov. from Ecuador. Sydowia 47 (1): 38-43. The new genus Caudatispora is introduced to accommodate a new palm ascomycete with unusual ascospores. Caudatispora is related to Lasiosphaeria but differs in having fusiform hyaline unicellular ascospores characterised by caudate basal extensions each with a dro...

During an investigation of saprobic microfungi in leaf litter from an Australian rainforest, five new species of Thozetella, namely T. acerosa, T. boonjiensis, T. falcata, T. gigantea and T. queenslandica, were identified and these are described and illustrated here. The morphology of specimens derived from cultures grown under different conditions and from natural substrata was compared. DNA s...
