| trimethyl lead degradation by free and immobilized cells of an arthrobacter sp. and by the wood decay fungus phaeolus schweinitzii. | the continuing production of leaded petrol generates liquid wastes containing recalcitrant trialkyl lead, for which no suitable chemical treatment has been formulated. this investigation explores the feasibility of using microorganisms to catalyse the rate-limiting step of trimethyl lead degradation to dialkyl lead; this disproportionates chemically to give, ultimately, pb2+ which is treatable by classical methods. an arthrobacter sp. and a wood decay macrofungus, phaeolus schweinitzii provide n ... | 1990 | 1366364 |

| fungal volatilization of arsenic and antimony and the sudden infant death syndrome. | fungal volatilization of antimony and other group vb elements has been proposed to have a causal role in the sudden infant death syndrome (sids; cot death). the ability of fungi to produce volatile arsenic and antimony compounds in pure culture was examined using scopulariopsis brevicaulis, reported as an inhabitant of pvc cot mattress covers, and phaeolus schweinitzii, a wood decay fungus known to be a good volatilizer of arsenic. volatile arsenic compounds were detected from all cultures grown ... | 1998 | 9465397 |
