The majority of mesophilic waterborne species of the black yeast genus Exophiala (Chaetothyriales) belong to a single clade judging from SSU rDNA data. Most taxa are also found to cause cutaneous or disseminated infections in cold-blooded, water animals, occasionally reaching epidemic proportions. Hosts are mainly fish, frogs, toads, turtles or crabs, all sharing smooth, moist or mucous skins a...

EU1uNG THE COURSE of a study on the toxicity of kerosine, there arose need for a method for the quantitative analysis of kerosine in blood. The ultraviolet spectrophotometric method developed for the analysis of alkylbenzenes in blood (1) was found to have limited application to the determination of kerosine blood levels, primarily because of its lack of sensitivity as well as the erratic readi...

An organic-inorganic hybrid monolith was prepared by a single-step ring-opening polymerization of octaglycidyldimethylsilyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) with poly(ethylenimine) (PEI). The obtained hybrid monoliths possessed high ordered 3D skeletal microstructure with dual retention mechanism that exhibits reversed-phase (RP) mechanism under polar mobile phase and hydrophilic-int...

We incorporate metal 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,5-biscarboxylphenyl)porphyrin (M-H(8)OCPP), for the first time, into porous metal-organic frameworks. The self-assembled porous metalloporphyrinic frameworks [Mn(5)Cl(2)(MnCl-OCPP)(DMF)(4)(H(2)O)(4)]·2DMF·8CH(3)COOH·14H(2)O (ZJU-18; ZJU = Zhejiang University), [Mn(5)Cl(2)(Ni-OCPP)(H(2)O)(8)]·7DMF·6CH(3)COOH·11H(2)O (ZJU-19), and [Cd(5)Cl(2)(MnCl-OCPP)(...
