DNA renaturation experiments gave evidence to conclude that Rhizopus arrhizus, R. OIyzae, R. delemar, Amylomyces rou.xii, R. delemar var. minimus, R. delemar var. multiplicisporus, R. arrhizus var. delemar, R. chungkuoensis var. isqfermentarius, and R. javanicus var. kawasakiensis can be accommodated in three taxa, namely, R. arrhizus var. arrhizus, R. arrhizus var. rozedi, and R. arrhizus var....

Plants of Juniperus communis L. var. communis, J. c. var. depressa Pursh, J. c. var. hemispherica J. & C. Presl, J. communis var. megistocarpa Fern. & St. John, J. c. var. nipponica (Maxim.) Wils., J. c. var. oblonga hort. ex Loudon and J. c. var. saxatilis Pall. were sampled and DNA fingerprinting (RAPDs, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNAs) was performed. Based on 191 RAPD bands, there was litt...

Theorem 3.2 A consequence system (L,`) enjoys Craig interpolation with respect to an L-function var, if (i) there is a Craig generalized translation schema from (L,`) to another consequence system (L′,`′) with respect to var and an L′-function var′; (ii) (L′,`′) enjoys Craig interpolation with respect to var′. Proof: Let (h1, h2, h) be a Craig generalized translation schema from (L,`) to (L′,`′...

The fungal pathogen Geomyces destructans, which causes white-nose syndrome in bats, thrives in the cold and moist conditions found in caves where bats hibernate. To aidmanagers and researchers address this disease, an updated and accessible review of cave hibernacula and cave microclimates is presented. To maximize energy savings and reduce evaporative water loss during winter, most temperate v...

Since 2006, Geomyces destructans, the causative agent of white nose syndrome (WNS), has killed over 5.7 million bats in North America. The current hypothesis suggests that this novel fungus is an invasive species from Europe, but little is known about the diversity within the genus Geomyces and its distribution on bats in the United States. We documented the psychrophilic and psychrotolerant fu...

Abstract: Cembrane-type diterpenoids are among the most frequently encountered natural products from the soft corals of the genus Lobophytum. In the course of our investigation to identify anti-inflammatory constituents from a wild-type soft coral Lobophytumcrassum, two new cembranoids, lobophyolide A (1) and B (2), along with five known compounds (3-7), were isolated. The structures of these n...
