adiaspiromycosis in the franklin's ground squirrel, spermophilus franklini, and pika, ochotona princeps, from alberta, canada. | pulmonary adiaspiromycosis due to emmonsia crescens was diagnosed in three of six franklin's ground squirrels (spermophilus franklini) captured in rochester, central alberts, canada in the summer of 1971, and in one of 240 pikas (ochotona princeps) collected in southwestern alberta in 1969. granulomas measuring 0.5 to 1 mm in diameter were found in both lungs. these granulomas contained adiaspores measuring 60 to 400 mum in diameter. the disease was not found in six franklin's ground squirrels c ... | 1976 | 943581 |
biodegradation of octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (hmx) by phanerochaete chrysosporium: new insight into the degradation pathway. | octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (hmx) is a recalcitrant energetic chemical that tends to accumulate in soil, close to the surface. the present study describes the aerobic biodegradability of hmx using phanerochaete chrysosporium. when added to 7 day old static p. chrysosporium liquid cultures, hmx (600 nmol) degraded within 25 days of incubation. the removal of hmx was concomitant with the formation of transient amounts of its mono-nitroso derivative (1-no-hmx). the latter appar ... | 2004 | 15352451 |
