| hospital outbreaks with yeasts. | five previous outbreaks of disseminated candidosis due to candida albicans are reviewed and a new outbreak on a neonatal unit in belfast presented. this involved four disseminated cases. the control and definition of outbreaks by morpho-, immunoblot- and dna-typing is discussed. an outbreak of torulopsis glabrata infection involving 23 patients is described. this was defined by dna fingerprinting with the enzyme xba. there were five deaths attributable either completely or in part to the yeast i ... | 1991 | 1679789 |
| decolorization of remazol black-b using a thermotolerant yeast, kluyveromyces marxianus imb3. | the ability of kluyveromyces marxianus imb3 to decolorize remazol black-b dye was investigated. the effect of environmental conditions, such as ph and temperature were examined. no noticeable effects on decolorization were observed when ph varied from 3.0-5.5. maximum colour removal, 98%, was achieved at 37 degrees c. little or no colour removal was detected when k. marxianus imb3 was incubated under anaerobic conditions. further investigation, in which decolorization was monitored under extreme ... | 2000 | 11345742 |
| contamination of headwater streams in the united kingdom by oestrogenic hormones from livestock farms. | most studies of hormonal activity in rivers have focused on inputs from sewage treatment works (stw), and their consequences for endocrine disruption in fish. it is possible that livestock is contributing to this hormonal activity in rivers. this study represents a search for evidence of steroid hormone contamination in streams associated with livestock farms. the majority of the 10 sites selected were streams running through dairy farms, although some examples of beef, sheep and pigs were inclu ... | 2006 | 16542709 |
