    Notes: Two immunodiagnostic detection assay procedures were compared with two conventional assays for their sensitivity in detecting propagules of Pythium ultimum var. sporangiiferum, Pythium Group F, Phytophthora cactorum and P. cryptogea in dilution series in sterile distilled water. The most sensitive assay for all four species was the zoospore trapping immunoassay (ZTI). Conventional membrane filtration-dilution plating gave similar results to ZTI with the two Phytophthora spp., but was less sensitive in Pythium detection. Immunodiagnostic dipstick assays and conventional bait tests showed similar sensitivities in the dilution series, and were generally about two orders of magnitude less sensitive than ZTI. The four techniques were also compared for their detection efficacy with water samples collected from horticultural nurseries and in in situ tests of infected root zones of Chamaecyparis, tomato and Chrysanthemum. In these comparisons, ZTI was again the most sensitive test for water samples, although membrane filtration-dilution plating proved to be a more consistent test. Dipstick and baiting assays were the best techniques for in situ testing, and dipsticks provided epidemiologically valuable, quantitative data on pathogen propagule numbers.

    Notes: Photodynamic therapy offers the possibility of relatively selective tumour necrosis and normal tissue healing. It has many potential applications but as yet no clear role. Articles, editorials and case reports published primarily in English and listed in Medline/ISI up to April 2000 or identified by a manual search have been reviewed in an attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of the use of photodynamic therapy in the alimentary tract.It is concluded that photodynamic therapy can be an effective treatment for superficial pre-malignant mucosal lesions and early cancers, especially in diffuse disease. Suitable patients include those wishing to avoid surgery, high risk subjects or those in whom other forms of treatment have failed. Superiority over other methods of ablation has not so far been demonstrated. Cheaper and more effective photosensitizers and improved techniques of light delivery are likely to increase the application of photodynamic therapy.

    Notes: Abstract The mycorrhizal fungi Amanita muscaria, Paxillus involutus, Hymenoscyphus ericae, Pisolithus tinctorius, Rhizopogon roseolus, and Suillus bovinus oxidized elemental sulphur to thiosulphate and sulphate in vitro. In some, but not all cases, tetrathionate was also formed. Limited oxidation of elemental sulphur by R. roseolus also occurred when growing in association with Pinus contorta in unsterilized peat. Although yeasts capable of oxidizing sulphur could not be isolated from a wide range of soils, a yeast-like fungus (Monilia sp.) isolated from deciduous woodland soil oxidized elemental sulphur to sulphate, forming thiosulphate, but not tetrathionate. This fungus also oxidized tetrathionate to sulphate but showed only limited ability to oxidize thiosulphate to tetrathionate. Both Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma harzianum oxidized elemental sulphur in mixed culture with Mucor flavus. Larger amounts of sulphate were initially formed in mixed, compared to single culture; but by week 5 of the incubation period sulphate formation was greatest in single culture. The wood-rotting fungi, Hypholoma fasciculare and Phanerochaete velutina showed a limited ability to oxidize elemental sulphur in vitro but were incapable of oxidizing the element when growing as mycelial cords in non-sterilized soils. The relevance of these results to the possibility that fungi play a role in sulphur oxidation in soils is commented upon.

    Notes: The photodynamic antibacterial properties of a closely related series of commercially available phenothiazinium dyes were tested against a range of pathogenic strains of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus) and Gram-negative organisms (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The photosensitisers were illuminated using a non-laser light source at a fluence of 1.75 mW cm−2 and this resulted in the enhancement of antibacterial activity in liquid culture. In several cases, illumination resulted in considerable decreases in the minimum lethal concentrations required, giving up to 100-fold increases in bactericidal activity.

    Notes: Phenothiazinium dyes, and derivatives, were tested for toxicity to Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The dyes were generally lipophilic (log P〉1) and showed inherent dark toxicity (minimum lethal concentrations: 3.1–1000 μM). Dye illumination (total light dose of 3.15 J cm−1 over 30 min) led to up to eight-fold reductions in minimum lethal concentrations. Most of the illuminated dyes showed significant relative singlet oxygen yields (Φ′Δ: 0.18–1.35) suggesting a type II mechanism of generating a phototoxic response. Although generally up to six-fold more effective against S. aureus, the dyes tested efficiently killed E. coli and may be of particular use in combating Gram-negative pathogens.

    Notes: [Auszug] SIR—The debate over the fairness or otherwise of the award of this year's Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine is reminiscent of the controversy over the 1952 prize for the discovery of streptomycin. This was awarded to Selman Waksman alone, specifically for his discovery of the ...

    Notes: Summary The effects of heavy metals in diverse substrateamended river sediments were studied. Cd2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ generally had a marked inhibitory effect on the synthesis of amylase, cellulase and urease, on numbers of substrate-hydrolysing bacteria, in all sediments studied. Inhibition increased with increasing metal concentration, and amylase was particularly sensitive. Pb2+ generally had the least effect. We conclude that enzyme synthesis measurements are useful in determining the effects of heavy metals on the degradation of organic pollutants in river sediments.

    Notes: Summary Fungicides were applied to both field and laboratory incubated soils, in order to determine their effects on fungal and bacterial numbers, and on the frequency of celluloytic fungi. In field soils, fungal numbers were initially reduced following the application of Captan, Dicloran, Milcol, and Triarimol, but then returned to the level of the untreated soil after 157 days. The major cellulolytic fungal species were generally unaffected, or increased in frequency in treated soils. Certain species includingTrichoderma koningii andPenicillium nigricans became dominant in treated soils, while species ofChaetomium andVerticillium decreased in frequency. Bacterial numbers increased in laboratory incubated soils which were treated with Captan. Fungal numbers however, were generally decreased, while the response of the actinomycete population depended on the concentration of fungicide applied.
