Metabolism of naphthalene, 1-naphthol, indene, and indole by Rhodococcus sp. strain NCIMB 12038
Article Abstract:
The regulation of naphthalene and 1-naphthol degradation occurs independently and through separate pathways in Rhodococcus sp. strain NCIMB 12038. A monooxygenase enzyme may be involved in the degradation of indene and the biotransformation of indole to indigo. Growth on salicylate represses the metabolism of naphthalene and 1-naphthol. The degradation of naphthalene involves salicylate as a central metabolite. It is oxidized by a naphthalene dioxygenase enzyme to cis-(1R,2S)-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalene.

Interlaboratory comparison of methods to quantify microsclerotia of Verticillium dahliae in soil
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to analyze different techniques for determining Verticillium dahliae in soil. Fourteen soil samples were examined in a blinded fashion by research groups in seven nations. Results indicated that techniques based on plating dry soil samples supported higher numbers of V. dahliae than those supporting plating of an aqueous soil suspension. Findings also showed that dry plating assays were more accurate than wet plating assays.
