the main objective of this study was to investigate the effi ciency of biological treatmentof azo dye-containing wastewater with a sequencing batch reactor system, followed by ultrafi ltration.the performance of the system was quantifi ed by measuring the chemical oxygen demand and azo dyeconcentration. the biodegradation was carried out under combined alternating anaerobic and aerobiccondition...

This is the first report on influence of devastating August 2018 floods Kerala yeast communities associated with mangrove ecosystem Valanthakadu, 'Kochi’s oxygen parlour’. Samples were collected for study from six stations in Valanthakadu during three different periods regard to i.e. April – May 2018: Pre flood (PRF), September October Just after (JAF), and March 2019: Post (POF) plated onto Ma...

Ethanol is an important chemical with its potential as a biofuel to displace the environmentally unfriendly fossil fuels. Isolation and identification of ethanol thermo-tolerant yeast capable producing were carried out in this study. Seventy (70) samples from different fermented foods agricultural wastes millets, sorghum, maize, rice guinea corn obtained local sellers Panteka, Farin-Gida, Barka...

Les auteurs rapportent chez deux nourrissons, l'etude anatomo-clinique d'un cas de kystes alveolaires multiples,et d'un cas d'emphyseme lobaire congenital bilateral.Le troisieme cas concerne un kyste bronchog6nique du poumon gauche,decouvert a l'autopsie d'un nouveau-ne. Dans le quatrieme cas,un emphyseme geant du lobe superieur gauche,decouvert dans un contexte infectieux,a l'age de neuf mois,...

Background: Trichosporon species are commonly known as causative agents of skin infections and also responsive in some other systemic and disseminated diseases, especially in immunocompromised patients and those with leukemia or lymphoma. Chronic cutaneous infections with Trichosporon have been reported in non-immunocompromised patients, too. Case Presentation: This study is a case report of t...

Understanding how pathogens maintain their virulence is critical to developing tools to mitigate disease in animal populations. We sequenced and assembled the first draft genome of Roseofilum reptotaenium AO1, the dominant cyanobacterium underlying pathogenicity of the virulent coral black band disease (BBD), and analyzed parts of the BBD-associated Geitlerinema sp. BBD_1991 genome in silico. B...

Fig. 1. Time course for a patient with refractory Burkitt’s leukemia who suffered from fungemia due to Trichosporon dermatis after chemotherapy. Abbreviations: R-hyper CVAD, rituximab+cyclophosphamide hydrate+vincristine sulfate+doxorubicin hydrochloride+dexamethasone; MTX, methotrexate; R-IVAC, rituximab+ifosfamide+etoposide+cytarabine; R-CODOX-M, rituximab+cyclophosphamide hydrate+vincristine...

CHROMagar Candida is a novel, differential culture medium that is claimed to facilitate the isolation and presumptive identification of some clinically important yeast species. We evaluated the use of this medium with 726 yeast isolates, including 82 isolated directly on the medium from clinical material. After 2 days of incubation at 37 degrees C, 285 C. albicans isolates gave distinctive gree...

conclusions presence of cae in patients with cas increases its cardiovascular event rate. isolated cae is not a benign finding and mi can occur. risk factors of cae are similar to cas, but c/s is more associated with cae than cas. dm is seen in cae patients less than cas. results hypertension (htn), dyslipidemia (dlp), and male sex were matched in both groups without significant difference. cig...
