Ce livre porte sur l'étude des associations entremicroalgues et bactéries, au cours de l'épuration deseaux usées par lagunage, a permis d'identifier unedominance des Chlamydomonas. Ces microalguesprésentent des taux importants printanierssimultanément à des taux importants en bactériesmésophylles et psychrophylles totaux.D'autre part, un suivi de chenal algal à hautrendement a été mis en marche dans une maquette enalimentation par une eau usée naturelle. Dans unsecond temps la maquette est alimentée par une eauusée synthétique. Ainsi, nous avons pu suivrel'évolution du système vers une réduction des taux ennitrobacters et en sulfatoréducteurs ainsi que la DCO, les MES, les taux en nitrates et en chlorures aussipour la conductivité pour favoriser le développementde Chlamydomonas et de Diatomées. L'évaluation du rendement épuratoire du chenal algalà haut rendement alimentée par une eau uséesynthétique, donne une réduction importante de laDCO, de la DBO5, des MES, des orthophosphates et desnitrates, au profit des microalgues. ...

Product Description
This volume brings together recent developments in the field of physico-chemical procedures and provides a perspective of the contribution that this methodology can make to facilitate the production and quality control of bacterial and viral vaccines. A growing number of vaccines today is based on well-defined materials, including vaccines based on purified protein antigens of natural origin or produced by rDNA technology, polysaccharides, semi-synthetic poly- or oligosaccharide-protein conjugates and novel nucleic acid constructs. Although in principle much better defined than 'traditional' vaccines, these new products raise new challenges of their own. The realization that biological assays often show limitations in characterizing these vaccines together with mounting social and political pressures to move away from test methods using live animals have shifted interest to methods providing a precise and objective means of characterization at the molecular level. ...

Product Description
Bringing together the viewpoints of leading experts in taxonomy, ecology and biogeography of different taxa, this book synthesises discussion surrounding the so-called 'everything is everywhere' hypothesis. It addresses the processes that generate spatial patterns of diversity and biogeography in organisms that can potentially be cosmopolitan. The contributors discuss questions such as: are microorganisms (e.g. prokaryotes, protists, algae, yeast and microscopic fungi, plants and animals) really cosmopolitan in their distribution? What are the biological properties that allow such potential distribution? Are there processes that would limit their distribution? Are microorganisms intrinsically different from macroscopic ones? What can microorganisms tell us about the generalities of biogeography? Can they be used for experimental biogeography? Written for graduate students and academic researchers, the book promotes a more complete understanding of the spatial patterns and the general processes in biogeography. ... Read more

Product Description
The Tottori International Symposia on Host-Specific Toxins wereestablished in 1988 by the Tottori University Faculty of Agricultureto provide an interdisciplinary forum for scientists working inrapidly emerging areas of studies of plant--fungal pathogeninteractions, especially involving host-specific toxins and relatedpathogenicity factors. Molecular Genetics of Host-Specific Toxins in Plant Disease isthe proceedings of the 3rd international symposium on host-specifictoxins held in August 1997 in Tottori, Japan. Up-to-date material ispresented in rapidly developing research areas such as new toxins,fungal genes for toxin biosynthesis, evolution of pathogenicstrategies, toxin actions on plants, toxin receptors, signaltransduction, oxidative burst, mechanisms of sensing, penetration andhost degradation, apoptosis triggered by toxins, and plant genes fordetoxification. This information has given researchers penetratinginsights into various aspects in the field. Molecular Genetics of Host-Specific Toxins in Plant Disease willbe a valuable up-to-date reference for researchers and students in theareas of plant pathology, plant protection, plant physiology andmolecular biology, fungal molecular genetics, and plant breeding andbiotechnology. ...

Excellent reference book
This book is amazing. It covers a wide range of viruses. Most importantly it gives detailed technical informations on the diagnosis of viruses which usually cannot be found in most virology books. It is an indispendsablebook for professionals working in the virology field. As a medicaltechnologist in a virology lab. I have found this book extermely usefulwhenever I am in doubt at work. ...
