Verdamicin is a new aminoglycoside antibiotic isolated from fermentation broths of a species of the genus Micromonospora, M. grisea. It has been differentiated from other known related antibiotics by a variety of chemical and biological methods. Its in vitro and in vivo spectrum of activity appears to be similar to those of gentamicin and sisomicin.

A recent survey of the entomofauna Davis Mountains in state Texas has revealed four new species genus Phytocoris Fallén (Miridae, Mirinae, Mirini): mcivor sp. nov. and schmitzi found on Quercus grisea Liebmann, marqua rileyi attracted to lights. Descriptions, habitus, genitalic images for are included herein. Further, habitus photographs known from county aid identification.

The article presents new floristic novelties of Veronica L. subgenus Pseudolysimachium (Plantaginaceae) the Altai Mountain Country and adjacent areas. For first time, × grisea Kosachev et A. Ebel was collected in Republic Altai, V. pinnata is indicated for Novosibirsk Region. In addition, locations 7 rare endemic species are given. Point distribution maps given most species.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a major staple food crop for half of the world’s population. The International Rice Research Institute, Philippines, estimates that in order to feed the growing global population, rice production must increase by another one-third by the year 2020. Magnaporthe grisea (anamorph, Pyricularia oryzae) causes rice blast disease (Figure 1) and is the most destructive pathoge...

Eighteen polymorphic microsatellite markers suitable for population genetic studies and protein kinase encoding genic variation measurement were developed for rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea. Polymorphism was evaluated by using 46 isolates collected from diverse geographical locations and rice varieties. Preliminary results indicate that each locus harbors two to

Mycetoma is a disfiguring, chronic granulomatous infection which affects the skin and the underlying subcutaneous tissue. We present an atypical case of recurrent mycetoma without ulceration, in a 35-year-old immunocompetent male caused by Scedosporium apiospermum sensu stricto and Madurella grisea, occurring at two separate anatomical sites.
